Cheatham Is Making ‘Em Laugh!

Tags:

Maree Cheatham (ex-Charlene, GENERAL HOSPITAL/PORT CHARLES’ ex-Marie, DAYS OF OUR LIVES) was a hoot as Bettie Breeland, Zoe’s snooty and oh-so-Southern grandmother on The CW’s recently concluded drama, HART OF DIXIE. Now, she’s landed a role on another primetime soap that not only took her to Atlanta for filming, but also promises to be every bit as much fun. “I’ve been cast in TYLER PERRY’S THE HAVES AND THE HAVE NOTS,” she tells Soaps In Depth. “Mr. Perry is wonderful to work for, and my role is pretty funny — I’m the comic relief!”

When the highly rated drama returns for its third season on OWN this June, look for Cheatham to debut in the second episode and then return for at least five more. “I play Pearl, the nosy parker neighbor who gets into everyone’s bidness!” the actress laughs. “She lives across the street from Candace (played by ONE LIFE TO LIVE’s Tika Sumpter (Layla) and hates her modern house and all the gentlemen callers she has… Pearl’s family is on the police force, so she uses it as her private army!”
