When JGM updates the Chronology, one thing I told him was Mrs. Cruthers isn't likely in books. This will help him decide what happens; he already said tht Joey could have sued for harrassment but we agreed he didn't because he's so non-confrontational.

Since she has to have a kid in their school system, we figured she'd have boy chasing troubles, too, and it would lead to both getting help near the end of season 8, but that what about in books. It seems too coincidental that they'd buy the home of Allie and her family, the girl who moves in the TV Universe but is Steph's best friend since Kindergarten in books. It still could be, though, that if she doesn't buy ALlie's house, she doens't move into the district.

Other options are: She winds up driving someone else crazy who does file suit before she meets Joey - "The Bicycle Thief" wouldn't happen with Michelle more mature and not as Jesse-like. Or, she may just live there but not be head of the Fraser St. PTA because someone else is there.
