The Lifetime movie’s first trailer drop on Friday, August 2 offered additional glimpses into Johnnie and Carlie’s touching love story following their introduction at the highway as Johnnie is on the brink of getting arrested but is let go with a warning.
A gushing conversation sets him on the map after he asks Carlie out for dinner, to which she responds by saying, “Have you ever dated someone with kids before?” He says, “No!” Though perplexed, Johnnie does not let it get into his brewing romance, instead tries to embrace her daughters but only until he gets a hint of their antics.
In an effort to impress Carli, Johnnie brings over flowers but is faced with her daughters, one of them mocks him saying their mom’s curfew is 11:30 p.m. “That one scares me,” Johnnie tells Carlie before the trailer cuts to him asking why she never remarried. “Have you met my girls,” she jokes.
The couple grows closer by the day and are embedded into each other’s lives but it’s an uphill road with Carli’s daughters finding it tough to be around a male figure they’ve never had. “We’ve never had a father before,” one of her daughters claims before their mother explains that the man who sticks around the house and takes care of them is their “Dad.”
Later, Carli is afraid that she might be falling too deep in love with Johnnie, who is also scared of finding his way into the family. The trailer ends with a wedding scene while Johnnie promises to be there for Carli and her family “forever,” indicating the couple’s fresh new start. A happy beginning that viewers will have to wait and find out.
Terry McMillan Presents: Forever premieres on Saturday, August 24 at 8 p.m. ET on Lifetime.
