‘Love & Hip-Hop: Miami’ blazed back onto screens this week and is delivering.

No doubt due to its widely publisized return of reality favorite Joseline Hernandez. 

As reported, the Puerto Rican Princess fell out with the show’s creator Mona Scott Young and ultimately left the Atlanta branch of the franchise acrimoniously.

Fences have since been mended and the star will feature as an integral cast-member of the newest ‘Love & Hip-Hop’ spin-off.

And while her debut was only teased in this episode, the hype has helped drive up ratings.

‘Empire’ bids farewell in March when it broadcasts its final episodes.

And while the show may be several seasons past its heyday ratings, it made its most pronounced headlines a year ago when star Jussie Smollett was allegedly targeted in a hate attack.

As widely reported, the matter took a dramatic twist when authorities turned the investigation on Smollett himself – charging him (quite literally) with making the entire incident up. An allegation which led to him being written out of ‘Empire.’

The real life narrative – which mirrored the scale of drama on the show – culminated in the collapse of the case against Smollett. Yet, his career remains in an odd state of limbo as various lingering legalities play out.

And while it remains to be seen where the public at large will settle as relates to opinion on Smollett, his co-stars are continuing to endorse him. So much so that they’re calling for his return to the show.
