The fun and funky series “Happy Endings” (in Russia - “Happy End”) started on air in April 2011 and was closed in June 2013 after three seasons. The popular series, favored by critics, tried to revive, transferring production rights from Sony to other companies, but low ratings of the last season, coupled with high costs of promotion and advertising, scared away those who wanted it. There was no happy ending for the series, but for the actors?
Actress: Eliza Coop
Character: Jane Kerkovich-Williams, the wife of a commander who doesn’t have a soul in the African-American husband Brad, whom he affectionately calls “The Bear” (“Boo”)

After the series closed, poking around the sites of several low-budget film and television projects, Eliza got the main female role in his "native" ABC. In the series “Benched in Court”, her character Nina Wheatley loses the prestigious job of an attorney (a lawyer acting as a proxy) and her boyfriend in one day. Having got a job in the bar, she falls into the midst of the judicial system. Legal comedy series? Trite! But Eliza is a great comedian, once included in Variety magazine's list of ten best comedian comedians. The series started in the USA on the USA channel on October 28, 2014. 11 episodes were ordered, the ratings of which will determine the fate of the next season.

Elisha’s character can be called the most controversial: realizing that they were stupid, portraying a blonde of the Nordic type as smart, the authors quickly made her a fool, then smart, and again a classic fool. A clear contradiction of character was striking, but Elisha with honor came out of the most complicated (due to the oversight of the scriptwriters) serial situations. Alas, after the series, a talented girl, repeatedly included in the lists of the most beautiful television actresses, flashed in one passing film project with a name that says nothing and, obviously, enjoys family life with her husband-hockey player.

She was a rather popular comedian even before Happy End and is shot relatively successfully after the series closed: the best film of 2014 “Disappeared”, episodic appearances in television series and, finally, the main role in her husband David Caspe’s romantic comedy series “Marry Me” / Marry Me. " Her heroine - the perfect Annie - after six years of dating, exchanges rings with a gouging Jake and realizes that the engagement is flowers, and the berries are in front. The series was launched in the United States on NBC on October 14, 2014. 11 episodes were ordered, the ratings of which will determine the fate of the next season.
