here has been a notable change in the dynamics of the Sister Wives show. Christine, Janelle, and Meri are no longer a part of the Brown family and have started a new phase in their lives.
Hence, regular watchers were skeptical if the reality show would be able to continue or not. Many fans suggested that creating a spinoff would be a better option.
However, it seems that the makers have a better plan as they straight away denied all the demands of the spinoff. But why did they refuse?
Sister Wives: No Spinoff For Janelle & Christine? Producer Confirms!
Janelle and Christine’s bond have justified the true meaning of Sister Wives over the years. Fans have loved their friendship and now want the network to give them their own show.
Evidently, several reports were claiming that TLC is planning to make a spinoff that would exclusively feature Janelle and Christine’s life after their divorce. However, don’t get your hopes high, as the showrunner Chris Poole has made it clear that they aren’t working on a spinoff for now.
In a conversation with Variety, Chris Poole admitted that he would “love” to do a spinoff of the show. He believes that the audience would also be interested in knowing what is happing in the stars’ lives. There is a clear opportunity to create a spinoff as well. But as per Poole, for now, TLC is focusing on Sister Wives, and their main agenda is to capture footage for the original show. Hence, it seems that, for now, the makers have decided to include all the content in Sister Wives. They aren’t segregating it into different shows. Chris further revealed that no one is leaving the reality show, and there is no end in his sight for now!
Of late, many fans have noticed that Christine and Janelle haven’t referenced one another in a period of time.
We haven’t seen any social media photos of the reality stars in the same place. Neither has tagged the other in any recent post.
The friendship appears to have died down to some extent, which may just be an organic outcome for two people with busy lives.
Or may be a sign of something more. Have Janelle and Christine have some kind of falling out?
To be frank, we don’t know. But to take an educated guess? We doubt it.
Janelle, of course, suffered the ultimate tragedy in early March when son Garrison committed suicide.
Partly in response to this nightmare, Janelle has been spending more time than ever before in North Carolina with her daughter, Maddie, simply taking her away from the area of the country in which Christine resides.
Janelle’s focus these days is on her immediate family, most notably her five remaining children, as it absolutely ought to be.
We have no real doubt that Christine would be there for her any time Janelle needs a friend.
A couple weeks after we lost Garrison, Christine acknowledged his death and wrote the following on Instagram after some critics wondered why she was promoting her rental home online:
“It’s been two weeks since Garrison’s death. That’s never easier to say.
“I have to keep working because it’s what I understand. It’s what I know and it’s what I know I need to do.
“And for me working some of the time means posting on social media and those of you that have understood that it’s just what I have to do to keep moving forward.”
Back in November, meanwhile, both Janelle and Christine made it clear they were done with their other two former sister wives, Meri and Robyn.
“I’m not going to be friends with Meri, and I’m not gonna be close with her,” Christine told Entertainment Tonight back then.
“I wish her the best, however. I hope that she finds what she’s looking for. I know that she would like to have a romantic partner.”
“There’s just too much in the past that I’m just going to leave it in the past,” Christine added broadly to ET.
“I’m not one to drag up the past, and go into counseling and figuring all the things out if I don’t need to. And I don’t need to.”
As for Janelle? When it comes to Meri?
“I have no ill-will towards her, I hope she does well,” this mother of six said.
“I hope she’s happy but I’m really focused on what we’re doing, what my kids are doing; if I run into her at an event, it’s not going to be mean or, we’re not gonna ignore each other.
