90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? Season 8 Could've Featured These Couples

Season 8 of 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? is gearing up to premiere soon, but a different casting selection could have greatly enhanced the quality of the spinoff. This franchise's first successful spinoff follows couples as they navigate their post-marriage journeys. The upcoming season will feature familiar faces such as Angela Deem and Michael Ilesanmi, Big Ed Brown and Liz Woods, Emily Bieberly and Kobe Blaise, Loren and Alexei Brovarnik, Patrick Mendes and Thaís Ramone, Gino Palazzolo and Jasmine Pineda, Nicole and Mahmoud El Sherbiny, as well as two more couples yet to be revealed.

The show often highlights the dramatic or intriguing situations that the couples encounter in their married lives. While Loren and Alexei have been absent from 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? since season 3, they did have their own successful spinoff, Loren & Alexei: After the 90 Days. This upcoming season will mark Angela and Michael's fourth appearance on the spinoff. Additionally, viewers have witnessed Gino and Jasmine's relationship unfold over four consecutive seasons within the franchise. Introducing a fresh mix of couples could have potentially elevated the overall appeal of 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After?.

Russ & Paola Should Have Made A Return

Russ and Paola Mayfield, original cast members of 90 Day Fiancé, first appeared on season 1 and later on 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? season 4, where the focus was on the birth of their son, Axel. Despite their absence from the core shows, they have been featured on 90 Day Diaries, showcasing the drama in their personal lives.

Although Russ and Paola are currently together, they have faced public challenges that led to speculation about their relationship. Russ has also encountered legal issues, and the couple has embraced RV life in recent years. Bringing back this OG couple could provide a fresh perspective for 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After?, offering insight into their journey and experiences.

Jovi & Yara Have Been Fan Favorites With A Rocky Marriage

Jibri and Miona Bell were featured on 90 Day Fiancé season 9, and since then, they have been involved in a world of drama. The pair have apparently split, with neither giving details on their separation. They are still legally married, but Jibri has sought inner peace and physical fitness in Asia, while Miona has moved on to a new man. Having the camera lens follow what went so wrong in their marriage would have been a great storyline for 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? to capture instead of some of the more boring storylines like Emily and Kobe's.

Fans of 90 Day Fiancé last saw Jovi Dufren and Yara Zaya on 90 Day: The Last Resort, where their relationship was tested by Jovi's fondness for strippers and their mutual dishonesty. Despite the challenges they faced, they remain a popular couple within the franchise. Viewers have shown more interest in their storyline compared to Gino and Jasmine, and many are eager to see how their marriage drama will unfold. In addition to their dynamic as parents, fans also appreciate the presence of Jovi's mom Gwen Maynard as a supporting character in their journey.

Hazel Cagalitan and Tarik Myers have been a part of the 90 Day Fiancé franchise for a long time, starting from their appearance on 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days season 2. They eventually tied the knot on 90 Day Fiancé season 8 and have also been featured on 90 Day Diaries. Despite their presence on the show, their tumultuous relationship has led to a breakup off camera, followed by a reconciliation.

Additionally, their storyline involving Hazel's bisexuality is a topic that should be delved into further, as it piques the interest of viewers. Hazel also has a son named Harry whom she has been trying to bring to America from the Philippines with Tarik's support. The couple's relationship struggles and other aspects of their marriage could potentially make for compelling reality television, potentially overshadowing the drama of other couples on the show.

90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? could benefit from featuring a couple with a positive dynamic and long-standing ties to the franchise, such as Melanie Bowers and Devar Walters. Rather than focusing on the toxic behavior of Angela Deem towards Michael, showcasing a couple who overcame challenges could resonate more with viewers interested in older 90 Day Fiancé couples. While Melanie and Devar faced issues with Devar's financial support to Jamaica and skepticism from Melanie's family, their journey together was ultimately heartwarming.

Revisiting Melanie and Devar after their initial appearance on 90 Day Fiancé season 3 could be a touching experience, especially considering the close bond between Devar and Melanie's son, Hunter. The couple has also welcomed a daughter in recent years, and catching up with their family would offer a more uplifting narrative compared to the drama surrounding Angela. Providing fans with a story to root for, rather than one filled with negativity, could bring a refreshing change to 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After.

The focus on Big Ed's journey with Liz on the 90 Day Fiancé network has nothing to do with the K-1 visa process. Therefore, exploring Brazilian native Juliana Custodio's journey with her husband, Ben Obscura, would not be a stretch. Especially considering Juliana's very public breakup with Michael Jessen, shedding light on her status as an American green card holder while living in Germany.

Juliana, a new mom, offers a different motherhood journey compared to Loren's, providing a fresh angle for 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? to explore. As a popular model, Juliana's dynamic between motherhood and work could offer intriguing content for viewers. Her straightforward and sassy attitude could also create entertaining and spicy moments that audiences would enjoy.

Editor's P/S:

The article discusses potential casting choices that could have enhanced the upcoming season of "90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After?" While the current lineup includes familiar faces, the inclusion of couples like Russ and Paola, Jibri and Miona, Jovi and Yara, Tarik and Hazel, Melanie and Devar, and Juliana and Ben could have brought fresh perspectives and intriguing storylines. The author argues that these couples' relationship dynamics, challenges, and personal journeys would have provided a more engaging and diverse watch for viewers.

Personally, I agree with the author's suggestions. The casting of "90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After?" often relies on couples who have been featured in multiple seasons, which can lead to repetitive content and lack of innovation. Introducing new couples with unique experiences and perspectives would not only offer a change of pace but also cater to the diverse interests of viewers. The inclusion of couples with different backgrounds, cultural challenges, and personal struggles would create a more well-rounded and relatable show.
