Is a REBA Reboot in the Works? Not Quite, But This Blooper Gets Close

Is a REBA Reboot in the Works? Not Quite, But This Blooper Gets Close

REBA stars Reba McEntire and Melissa Peterman teamed up for a new sitcom, HAPPY’S PLACE, but fans want a REBA reboot to happen as soon as possible after a funny moment on set.

The guest appearance of fellow REBA star Steve Howey as a character named Danny on a recent episode of HAPPY’S PLACE added fuel to the fire.

“The show placed a tongue-in-cheek nod to the REBA setting in the episode, giving Howey a line about knowing a group of people in Houston, and the actors took it one step further for the studio audience while filming, resulting in a blooper that was shared on social media by the network,” Parade reported.

“In a video posted on Dec. 6, Howey walked into a backroom of the bar owned by McEntire’s character and delivered his scripted line,” the outlet continued. “McEntire then responded, again with her scripted line, before Howey switched into his REBA character and exclaimed ‘Oh, I know who you are. Mrs. H?!’”

McEntire couldn’t control her laughter “as Peterman ran onto the set, also as her REBA character.”

“Van?!” Peterman yelled from backstage. “Barbra Jean?!” Howey yelled as he hugged Peterman. Howey also asked McEntire, “You own a bar now?”

After that, all the characters broke down and began to improvise.

Peterman said she’d “been in witness protection for like 20 years.”

Howey then brought back a plotline from REBA and yelled, “Cheyenne’s drunk, she misses you.”

Fans were over the moon excited as they felt they “rebooted Reba,” saying “His voice and facial expressions became Van as soon as he said, ‘Mrs. H.’”

Another fan wrote, “Ohhhh they need to bring reba back!!!!! With ALL the cast!!!”

“Reba breaking is the best. You could tell how happy she was that he did that 🥰,” another said.
