Originally conceived as a standalone TV movie.
When the network informed the actors that the 20-episode season 4 was going to be shot in a row, Gabrielle Union sued BET because her contract stipulates that she won't film more than 13 episodes in a row without a proper break. Two months after the law suit, an agreement was reached between the parties.
The legal name of Gabrielle Union's character is Pauletta Patterson, which is also the name of the woman she writes to in the movie Bring It On.
Michael Ealy accepted the role of Justin after being convinced by his friend Gabrielle Union.
Gabrielle Union is the only cast member in every single episode
