Dirty Dancing Sequel

Sure there was “Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights”, but did that really count as a sequel? If Patrick Swayze wasn’t big in it, I say no. But the classic love story that began with a watermelon (come on, you remember, “I carried a watermelon?”) isn’t dead yet. Rumor has it there is another Dirty Dancing sequel coming, and Patrick Swayze has been approached to appear in it.

Patrick Swayze In Dirty Dancing Sequel?

After being given an unfavorable diagnosis of pancreatic cancer, Swayze has bounced back strong and is even working again. He is currently filming “The Beast”, a television show about the FBI. And now other offers are reportedly pouring in, including for “Dirty Dancing” follow-ups:

‘It’s great news Patrick is so well and there are a lot of offers for him,’ a source tells the Daily Express. Everyone wants him to star in a Dirty Dancing sequel. It’s just a matter of him making his mind up.’

So what would Swayze’s role be in such a sequel? He’s already done the dance instructor cameo, and it would just be overkill to do that twice. I think he should play a father figure in this next one - say his daughter is this big dancing star, love story ensues, Swayze has the chance to play the protective father. What do you think? I know, it could use some work.
