The Haves & The Have Nots is one of OWN’s popular nighttime soap opera created by Tyler Perry. The series follows three families and their lifestyles as they coexist in Savannah, Georgia: the rich, powerful, and locally very public Cryer and Harrington families (dubbed “The Haves”) and the poor and destitute Young family (dubbed “The Have Nots”). The Young family is headed by Hanna, a single mother who works as the Cryer family’s maid and also serves as the best friend and confidante of the lady of the house, Katheryn. Included as part of The Have Nots is another maid of the Cryer family’s, Celine Gonzales. While the Young family versus the Cryer and Harrington families lead polar opposite lifestyles in terms of social class, economics, social status, and surroundings, they are each similar in that they lead exceedingly dysfunctional lifestyles.
The show’s cast is multiracial: one of the upper-class families are Caucasian American and the other is African American; the poor family is also African American; in addition to this, there is a poor maid who is Hispanic. To that end, when Angela Robinson (the actress who plays Veronica Harrington) was interviewed about her new role on the series in late June 2013, she stated,
“This is one of the only shows on television with a diverse cast that looks like America: Black, White, Latino, straight, gay, rich, and poor.“
Although Angela has been studying acting for a while, she is a newcomer on TV screens and has instantly become a fan favorite. So for #WCW, we decided to chat with Anglea and see how she’s been holding up through quarantine and what it’s like playing Veronica Harrington on #HAHN.
