They decide to stay and lease a home where a sassy caretaker Elka ( Betty White ) still lives in the guest house. Cast and characters Valerie Bertinelli, Wendie Malick, Jane Leeves, and Betty White in August 2012 Main cast Valerie Bertinelli as Melanie Hope Moretti, a writer and mother of college - age kids Will and Jenna. Depressed by her divorce, she boards a plane to Paris in the pilot episode to find love. However, when the plane makes an emergency landing in Cleveland, Melanie loves the city and its people so much that she decides to stay.

Jane Leeves as Rejoyla `` Joy '' Scroggs, a never - married beautician, known as the `` Eyebrow Queen of Beverly Hills '', who counts among her clients stars such as Oprah Winfrey and Ryan Seacrest.

In the first season finale, Joy receives a message from her son, but a tornado prevents her from contacting him. Her son finally comes to visit her in Season 2, with disastrous results. At the end of season 3 a baby is left on the women 's doorstep. This baby is revealed in season 4 as Joy 's grandson Wilbur.

It is shot with a multicamera setup in front of a live studio audience at the CBS Studio Center production studios. Martin initially got the idea from the period after Estelle Getty died in which clips of Getty 's sitcom, Golden Girls were being replayed on the news which cause Martin `` to think about women in their 50s and what the show meant for women now. '' She then devised a scenario in which `` women in that age group landed somewhere in America and they were `` hot again '' there ? '' Martin initially pitched the series to CBS who rejected it, due to what Martin believes was `` because it involved women older than the demo they were looking at '' At the time of the pick up Martin was unaware of TV Land 's existence. TV Land announced that the show was renewed for a second season on July 7, 2010. The 20 - episode second season began production on November 1, 2010, and premiered January 19, 2011. On February 28, 2011, TV Land renewed the show for a third season to consist of 22 episodes. On March 21, 2011, TV Land announced that the third season order was increased to 24 episodes. On January 12, 2012, TV Land renewed the series for a fourth season. Betty White was only meant to appear in the pilot of the show but was asked to stay on for the entire series. She reportedly earned $75,000 per episode for the series. Spin - off series and crossovers On April 18, 2011, It was announced that Cedric the Entertainer would guest star in a season 2 episode as a minister that gets caught up in the girls ' problems. The episode served as a backdoor pilot for a spin - off series to star Cedric. The episode entitled `` Bridezelka '' was written by Hot in Cleveland creator Suzanne Martin and aired on August 24, 2011. The spin - off series centers on Reverend Boyce ( Cedric ) as he moves from Cleveland to St. Louis and has to balance his wild past as an R&B singer with the expectations of his congregation and his family. On January 12, 2012, TV Land officially picked up the pilot to series, under the title Have Faith ; with the first season set to have 12 episodes. On March 11, 2012, it was announced that the series ' title was changed from Have Faith to The Soul Man. The series premiered on June 20, 2012. In the March 27, 2014 premiere of Hot in Cleveland, Cedric the Entertainer reprises his role as Reverend Boyce ; however, he does n't appear to recognize the characters from his appearance in Season 2 of Hot in Cleveland. Betty White also reprises her role as Elka on The Soul Man. In the second season of Hot in Cleveland, the show crossed over with daytime soap opera All My Children, in the two - part episode ' I Love Lucci '. Wendie Malick appeared on All My Children, where she was credited as Victoria Chase, while Susan Lucci appears as herself on Hot in Cleveland. The fifth season of Hot in Cleveland featured a crossover with the television show Kirstie, which also aired on TV Land in 2013 -- 14. Critical reception The show has received positive reviews from critics. Wendie Malick and Betty White have both received extensive praise for their performances. The first season scored a 65 out of 100 on Metacritic. Comparisons with the Golden Girls Hot in Cleveland has been referred to as a modern spin on the classic 1980s television series The Golden Girls which also featured actress Betty White in a starring role. Craig Berman of Today stated that the show is `` as close as we 're likely to get to a repeat of White 's 1980s ensemble comedy hit, The Golden Girls... ( TV Land ) the network known as the refuge for people looking to fall asleep to reruns of shows from their childhood has made its first scripted program a modern version of the classic sitcom premise. '' Alessandra Stanley of The New York Times commented : `` This is the first original scripted comedy on TV Land, a network that was founded on reruns. So not surprisingly, Hot in Cleveland is a pastiche of classics -- a little bit Cheers and Frasier, a little bit The Golden Girls. '' Michael Musto of The Village Voice wrote : `` Wendy ( sic ) Malick is basically the modern - day Bea Arthur. Sweet - faced Valerie Bertinelli is the new Betty White. Been - around Jane Leeves is the nouveau Rue McClanahan. And witheringly sarcastic Golden Girl Betty White has turned into Estelle Getty. '' Awards and nominations Betty White received a Screen Actors Guild Award nomination for her role as Elka Ostrovsky, and went on to win the award. The cast received a nomination for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series. On May 17, 2011, TV Land entered the show in the race for the 63rd Primetime Emmy Awards.
