‘Bob ♥ Abishola’ May Be Heading for a Divorce & 2 Weddings
Preview
There’s nothing funny about another man who ♥ Abishola. The nurse and Nigerian immigrant (Folake Olowofoyeku) — engaged to kindly American businessman Bob (Billy Gardell) — faces a very unsitcom-like situation when her long-estranged husband, Tayo (Dayo Ade, above, with Olowofoyeku), shows up in Detroit.
According to the actress, the emotional two-part story “almost starts to go toward a drama, in a way.”
Even though Tayo had left his wife and son, Dele (Travis Wolfe Jr.), years earlier, when he learns about the engagement, “he’s demanding what he thinks is his,” she says. “He is a strong African man, and you can see why that might be complementary to Abishola’s personality.” Will Abishola, who can be stuck in her ways, take a leap and ask Tayo for a divorce?
Possible setback aside, Olowofoyeku hopes viewers eventually get to see both a “white wedding” and a “traditional wedding” for the cross-cultural couple. “It would be great to shoot in Nigeria!”

I ❤️ the show!!! I ❤️ The cast and writers. The chemistry that came together while creating this show is Outstanding! I ❤️ Bob and his family and Gloria and Kami and MaxDot Team! My favorite uncle Tunde and auntie Olu.❤️❤️ Abishola played by the amazing and beautiful Folake Olowolyeku. This chemistry of actors and writers made this show OUTSTANDING!!! Love And Laughter Is The Best Chemistry!!!!!
By the way, take it to Nigeria for the wedding and get Woopie Goldberg to play Abishola’s mother it would be phenomenal!!!!

Not sure where you are from Gk, but it does exist in our society. Wondering where you live where you think it does not exist. Here where I am in the U.S., it exists very much. I'm guessing you must live in Idaho or something. I am glad they did not cancel it. It is now my favorite show. So why are you sick of seeing black and white couples together? Jealousy?

GK,
Good afternoon.
Hope your day is going well for you;where ever you live.
Now about your opinion and you do have the right to your opinion.
I have lived in Minnesota most of my life and supposedly this state is one of the bests for mixed marriage couples.
That article was written back in the 80's and 90's.
Today I'm not sure if it still is.
Have a nice day
