What You Never Knew About HGTV's Page Turner

Posted by Almeda Bohannan on Friday, May 31, 2024

On "Flip or Flop Nashville," Page Turner shared the spotlight with ex DeRon Jenkins. In her return to the network, however, she's front and center — and decidedly solo. Striking out on her own on TV has proven to be a successful move — so much so that HGTV ordered a second season of "Fix My Flip," slated to debut in spring 2023. "HGTV has only one Page Turner, but she is no damsel in distress in 'Fix My Flip' and that's why our female audience finds her so appealing," Betsy Ayala, HGTV's senior vice president of programming and development, said in a press release.

For Turner, the success of her first solo television effort is all the more sweet considering its origins. As she explained in an interview with the "Brown Ambition" podcast, not only is she the star of "Fix My Flip," but she's also an executive producer and the series creator, having successfully pitched her concept to the network. 

According to Turner, it all went down when she received a call from HGTV after the cancellation of "Flip or Flop Nashville," informing her the network was eager to create a new show centered around her. "I said, 'Well, hey, I already wrote a show.' And they were like, 'Well, hey, pitch it,'" Turner recalled. "I was prepared for the moment."
