Make It or Break It
I’ve been watching this show on ABC Family for three years now – Make It or Break It. The show is so sweet. It started out with four main gymnasts and has evolved into one leaving the show and being replaced by several new gymnasts.
Payson Keeler played by Ayla Kell. Payson is the sweet, shy and level-headed gymnasts. She was hurt last season and the season before, but seems to be strong this season and a team favorite. Lauren has a boyfriend named Rigo.
Lauren Tanner played by Cassie Scerbo. Lauren is the sneaky, bad girl of the show. They seem to be phasing her out now by giving her character a heart problem.The problem was never found before this season, but all of a sudden it is life threatening. As the season develops her heart condition is shown to be something about it racing and beating irregularly when she does gymnastics. Payson finds this miracle surgeon who is able to perform a quick TV surgery and Lauren is soon back on the beam. Lauren qualifies to compete (just barely because the show needs that tension of course).
Lauren’s father, Steve Tanner played by Anthony Starke was also a big part of the show, but it appears they are already phasing him out as he didn’t show up for the show the girls put on. He shows up later in the season when Lauren is in the hospital and needs an operation.
Kaylie Cruz – Kaylie is the star of the show. She’s a great gymnast even though she has a troubled personal life. She battled anorexia and her parents divorce. She has a boyfriend named Austin who is also a gymnast, but it appears that he is very interested in his career after being a gymnast and making money. Kaylie’s parents have appeared on the show this season. Her mother, Ronnie Cruz is played by Rosa Blasi and her father Alex Cruz is played by Jason Manuel Olazabal.
These girls are getting older and will probably be let go by the show soon because of their age. So they added a few young gymnasts.
Jordan – a gymnast with a lot of determination. She and Kaylie were in the same gym many years ago and are rivals. Jordan comes from a foster family and also has a troubled past.
Kelly Parker – A younger gymnast who had a mean streak, but has been able to work her way into the viewers hearts by having a change of heart. KP has a crazy mother who in past episodes has shown she is obsesesed with KP’s money and the potential for future income. KP quits gymnastics and they show her as a friend of Kaylie’s in the stands later in the season.
Coach Otis and he’s working on coming up with the new Olympic team for the girls.
Emily Kmetko played by Chelsea obbs – last season Emily was phased out.
Since Emily is gone, they also phased out from the show after season two, Emily’s mother, Chloe Kmetko’s character played by Susan Ward and her boyfriend, Damon Young played by Johnny Pacar.
