Novi Brown Teases Tension – Socially Keeda

Fans’ obsession with what's going to occur subsequent between Karen and Fatima on BET’s Tyler Perry’s Sistas has reached such a fever pitch, Novi Brown says even her household has begun harassing her for intel. “I’m not able to tell them either,” Brown, who performs Sabrina, tells TVLine with fun. “Everybody is on edge and it’s really hard to keep plot twists to myself. We’ve created all of these nail-biting moments on TV and it is really exciting. A lot of people who watch the show have gone through similar things and that’s why they relate and find it so realistic. That’s why sistas has been so successful.”What Brown can say in regards to the confrontational interplay between Zac’s ex-girlfriend Karen, who has introduced her being pregnant information, and Zac’s present girlfriend Fatima is that it'll additional expose the personalities of their mates and onlookers Sabrina, Andi and Danni, as Season 4 continues to roll out Wednesday at 9/8c.

“Sabrina has her own drama with Calvin and Karen, and Fatima’s issues are maybe a welcomed distraction,” Brown explains. “She’s just trying to find the balance between spending time with her friends and investing in her new love with Calvin. New love requires new actions from you as an individual. She’s also empathetic and trying to handle both worlds while feeling like, ‘Maybe my relationship with Calvin isn’t so bad.’”The financial institution supervisor can be the voice of calm and purpose amongst her mates.“At the core of it, Sabrina wants to be there for her girls,” Brown observes. “Within her sister circle, she’s very mothering and nurturing, as opposed to, say, Danni, who has never liked Gary but suddenly wants to give him a chance because he bought Andi a penthouse. It’s going to be interesting to see how all of these women react to Gary and Fatima moving forward.”

What is equally revealing, Brown says, is how some sistas viewers are so invested within the storylines they name the characters hurtful names on social media.“That’s the power of art,” the actress presents. “Fans get so immersed in the emotions and realities of these characters and what they are going through, it becomes a symbolic representation of where they are in their own lives. Some fans call us ‘stupid’ but others also say stuff like, ‘I have leg Andi before’ or ‘My cousin is just like Danni.’ We’re dealing with a lot of people’s realities and how they’ve dealt with situations like this, or how their loved ones handled it.”In that method, Brown argues the soapy series is greater than tv drama.“It’s a social conversation about what’s going on today and how we relate to one another,” she attests. “It’s all of those things put together and as an artist, my only job is to make social commentary that people want to see.”What do you assume goes to occur when Karen and Fatima meet up at Andi’s?
