Love After Lockup Fan Response

The numbers and figures are definitely there when it comes to measuring the metrics. Added to this, viewers talk about the show on a daily basis all across social media. There are numerous groups dedicated to bringing viewers information on the cast members in real-time. This also means that a good chunk of the updates are not the most flattering. But, the more scandalous the information, the more rabid the fanbase gets – picking every tidbit apart to get to the bottom of the story.

Whether fans love or hate certain couples or individual cast members, it’s a guarantee that they’re talking about them. It will certainly be interesting to see what goes on in the upcoming episodes. Along with that, more episodes means more fresh meat and more fodder to pick apart.

Angela and Tony Set to Return

It looks like Love After Lockup viewers will get to see more of Angela and Tony from the first season. Last viewers saw, Tony didn’t get released when he said he was going to. This left Angela waiting for him empty-handed. It seems Tony finally gets released. WE TV notes that he may have some competition from someone else seeking Angela’s affection. It will be interesting to see how Tony adjusts to life out of prison, and how he and Angela get on in their relationship.

Further, there’s still the ongoing drama between the current couples to keep an eye on – on top of the daily social media developments. Either way, with this 10-episode extension, there will be a lot more for hungry viewers to sink their teeth into.
