After it was announced that Demi Lovato was admitted to a treatment facility for "emotional and physical issues", the Disney Channel has come up with a way to keep her hit sitcom Sonny with a Chance on the air without her.
Producers have decided to rework the series to focus on So Random!, which is a musical variety show within the Sonny plotline. According to Variety, So Random! will feature guest stars, comedy sketches, musical performances and digital shorts.
A Disney Channel rep released the following statement:
No word on when Demi will return to work, but with Sonny writers focusing on So Random!, it seems like there is plenty of time for the 18-year-old starlet to get the help she needs.
Hopefully she'll get the help she needs and get back on track!
