‘The Client List’ season 3 renewal: Jennifer Love Hewitt, producers talking story
So are you curious why the delay for a season 3 renewal for “The Client List” is taking so long? Well, we now have an answer for you, and it appears that at the very center of all this drama is the question as to how Jennifer Love Hewitt’s real-life pregnancy is placed into the series.
According to Deadline, the plan at the moment seems to be to write the pregnancy with Hewitt’s Riley into the story, but all parties involved seem to be disputing how it should be handled in terms of who the baby’s father on the show should be. From Hewitt’s camp, the desire seems to be to have the father be none other than her real-life fiancee and father of her unborn child in Brian Hallisay.
However, the showrunner for the Lifetime drama is reportedly hoping to have Colin Egglesfield, who plays Evan on the show, step into this role. In case you are wondering why Hewitt has a stake in a major creative decision, it is because she has an executive producer credit on the series.
Speaking to the site, a rep for the actress had the following to say:
“There are many story lines we are exploring … So any suggestion that we are not doing our best to develop a great season is simply not accurate.”
We know that Hewitt is getting a lot of grief across the internet tonight, but we understand why she would want her real-life fiance to play the father of her child on the show. However, this really just speaks to the problem that can exist when a star also holds an executive producer credit; this is not the first show to experience such a problem, and nor will it be the last.
What’s your take on this story, and do you hope that a season 3 happens? If you want to read our full review for “The Client List’s” season 2 finale, you can do so over here.

Cancel the show, there is too much “DRAMA” on the show, not entertaining anymore and tired of look’in at JLH’s (BOOB’S) that’s basically what the show promotes and she’s NOT that attractive and tired of her flashing her (BOOB’S) every chance she get’s. The Storyline for the show is MAJORILY Dragging……

I understand that she play’s a prostitute on the show but, she showed off her (BOOB’S) every chance she got on (GHOST WHISPERER) too, besides she also has a BIG butt. Don’t believe the girl has a lot of talent and the persona she displays is that she thinks she’s GREAT, which she certainly is NOT!!!!! in my eyes and my friends & family….Just Say’in…..

She never slept with Evan so it can’t be his kid. It would have to be Kyles or that other guy. Bc you can’t have a baby with someone you never slept with.

I think Kyle should play the role of the baby but Jennifer should get some time away for a couple of weeks

I think throwing a baby into the mix is a great idea, however I think Evan needs to be the baby daddy! It will add more strain to her and Kyle’s relationship and potentially reignite the flame with her and Evan. Can’t wait to see what season three holds!!

I think it would fit well into the story line, in fact I thought she was going to tell Lacey she was pregnant before she just went into it was her fault she lost her baby, but her and Kyle did get together finally for the first time since he’s been back, she can just find out she’s pregnant by him and it add to the stress of them trying to get back on track and wether she’s in the clear after the fire! I think it would just fine as Kyle as the dad, I do not want to see her with Evan he’s kinda dorky!
