- [re sudden end of Luck (2011) YV series] I was devastated when they scrapped 'Luck'. I was depressed. It was a big, big hit emotionally. I had a five-year deal with these people. It was astronomical. This was going to be a life changer. I had bonded with the cast and crew; we were like a family. Then boom, it was over. It was eating at me. I was down. And down on myself.
