...in Vincent Terrace's Television Series of the 1970s: Essential Facts and Quirky Details (2017). On the one hand, it's cool that they were mentioned in the book. On the other... :lol:

LOL I guess Nancy auditioned to be a model in Pretty Babies. Clearly doesn't know Sue Ann was the smart one of the show, and thinks she and Cindy are interchangeable since Blair called Sue Ann thunder thighs. Cindy Brady? Me thinks he was watching The Brady Bunch when he wrote it. Clearly this guy only watched Running, Flash Flood, and The Little Chill.

I think he watched those episodes and Pretty Babies. You caught some of the mistakes, Lorimar (Thunder Thighs and Brady), but there are plenty more! :lol:

(I don't regard Nancy wanting to be a model an error, since she did try out in PB... except perhaps an error of omission, all things considered...).

I love how there are more mistakes than "Facts". Priceless.

Boy, would Mr. Gideon be FURIOUS with this guy.

"Fast, Accurate, Concise, True. How many did you get right, Vincent?"

Yikes! Maybe they should of hired Natalie Green as an editor and fact checker ;)

But then the book's title would have changed to "Teacher Busted in Cocaine Raid While Giving Eastland Student an Abortion!" :lol:

(Seriously, how did she stay on so long as the school paper editor?)

Any more guesses?

Nancy O. wanted to be a psychiatrist, not a model.

The Reunion was the episode where George asks Blair to be his date for his high school reunion, not TLC. I have a silly question, forgive me guys. Cindy's name is Cynthia?? I don't remember this, I only remember that in season 8 she became a model and changed her surname from Webster to Baker

True, but in "Pretty Babies", she does try out modeling for Jonathan Dutton. (He's looking for someone younger).

Ding ding ding! Correct!

We never heard the name Cynthia, only Cindy. While it's possible that was her name, it does not appear to be canonical, and it would be a little confusing, because we see a character named Cynthia in another episode.

Yes, where are you getting "Cynthia"? :confused: The only "Cynthia" is the girl from the season 2 episode "Breaking Point". Cindy has always been "Cindy".

As for her surname, I think we're just supposed to give the writers of "The Little Chill" a pass on that, because Cindy is (sadly) the only girl whose surname was never mentioned in season 1. So the writers of TLC had nothing to go on, so, I assume, they thought they could just make up whatever they wanted her surname to be, and did. Those writers, by the way, had nothing to do with season 1. TLC was their very first FOL script.

But Julie Anne knows Cindy's surname was Webster, so I'm assuming she was listed that way in the credits on a script or scripts.

Great comments! I am not getting "Cynthia" at all; that is pure Vincent Terrace! :lol: And it would be too confusing, because Cynthia dies, and because we really don't need yet another Emily/Steve(n) situation. :lol:

If the writers of TLC watched the episodes, as you say, they wouldn't have come across the last name Webster, so it seems like a reasonable mistake on the writers' part. But I wonder why/if Julie Anne didn't mention it to them herself, since she obviously knew in 2006 during the DVD interviews (and later).

Maybe because she'd been so out of the acting game at that point that she felt insecure about "correcting" them?

Could be. It's even possible that she did mention it to someone, but they didn't fix it.

Maybe her real surname was Baker but Julie Ann remembered Webster? What do you say?

OOOoooo, buuuuurn! lol (but yeah, that is possible!)

Who knows, it could have even been a Mackenzie flub! He could have panicked and pulled out a wrong name because there were

wait for it...

wait for it...

TOO MANY GIRLS!!

:rofl:

No, it's documented on script credits it is indeed "Webster", (right, Retro?)

Just a theory:lol::lol:

The girls are typically only credited by their first names, in the scripts.

In what interview JAH reveals Cindy's name?

In one of the bonus features on the FOL seasons 1 & 2 DVD set. She says "Cindy Webster".

But we've known years before then that it was "Webster", so I'm wondering how we knew??

Once the Coronavirus is over, and my library is open again, I can check. They have an older copy of Tim Brooks and Earle Marsh's book (The Complete Directory to Prime Time Network and Cable TV Shows), and I believe that edition is from 1984. My edition lists Cindy's last name as Webster, but if the edition on the library shelves is from the mid-1980s (and I believe it is), we'll know the name Webster was established and canonical before TLC.

(I may find it in newspaper articles before libraries reopen).

It's also possible that there was a character treatment that Julie Anne read, discussing the character, including her last name. This would have been, I think, typical when they were developing the characters.

But at any rate, "Cindy Brady" is absolutely NOT the character's name anywhere! :lol:

My 1996 edition of Total Television, by Alex McNeil, lists her full name as Cindy Webster. There are earlier editions going back as early as 1980.

I found this book on Google. I can't upload the images. The characters list reports Cindy Webster. The book was originally published in 1979, revised editions in 81, 85, 88, 92, 95, 99, 2003 and 2007. The edition on Google is the 9th

Edit
Just checked, the edition on Google is 2007

Yes indeed. An edition prior to TLC would tell us the character was definitely known as Cindy Webster prior to TLC. And I strongly suspect that is the case, because it's highly unlikely the author would edit an older entry. But I'll verify with an older edition, once the Coronavirus craze has settled down (BTW, how are things now, in Italy? Still awful, I guess.)

Still awful, more than 1000 people died in the last 24 hours. How is the situation there?

I am so, so sorry to hear that. :(:eek:

Here in my area, there have been no deaths, and only two CV cases. However, everything is shut down, a total disaster for the economy. But it seems to have helped keep the spread of the plague down, because we have only had two cases in the region, both cases from people coming from overseas.

Even though this has been a horrific tragedy, I hope something can be learned about how diseases can so easily be spread, how we can better fight these things in the future, and how important it is that we have leadership that listens to the scientific community, not just dismissing scientific concerns as "hoaxes".

All the best to you, there.

^---:clap

(Retro, our Molly would be so proud of you!)

All the best to you too, guys. I'm so happy to be on this board, we could take our minds off this tragedy for some minutes

Not good, the US has the most cases now. My areas pretty much shutdown, I don't leave my house much.

YES! I actually followed alot of it in China and just knew it was coming here. I knew I needed to prepare. Alot of people around me were less concerned, I really had to get my parents to listen especially. But they finally admitted I was right :D

It's unfortunate that so many here in the US were not listening to the scientists. But it's good that your parents eventually came around. It's good that you were there!

Now you can quote Blair from "Molly's Holday": "This time it doesn't feel so good to be right."

(and I wish you'd told us it was coming here; I would've stocked up om a few things! lol)

I'm in New Orleans and our numbers are startling and heartbreaking. I wish I stocked up more, too, but I didn't have a lot of money.

They're blaming our numbers on Mardi Gras, but we didn't have any cases in the whole state until two weeks after the party ended. The mayor is being made into a villain. But, she had no information.

My parents didn't listen at first, either, and they are over 70 and in Connecticut, near New York City. I'm glad they finally stopped listening to less than credible sources of "news."

My father lives in NEW YORK and now he doesn't even leave the house anymore: he's basically on 'Quarantine' cos he's already 70 years old....:(

Well I wasn't as confident after everyone shot me down, shoulda listened to my gut.

WriterChick, I'm so sorry to see what has happened in New Orleans, and other cities like Seattle and New York. We are wishing you guys the best during these awful times.

Wishing you and all your families well. :(:wave:

But they say it can take up to that long for any symptoms to show, so that could still be to blame.

That's sad. :(
