Ok, I was watching the Halloween episode today on Hallmark and I was wondering about Edna's Edible's. I didn't see the first few episodes of season 5 so I'm confused about where the store came from. And also, is it still connected to Eastland or are they somewhere else? Dumb questions, I know, but I'm really confused! :confused:

Ive always thought it was connected to Eastland..I could be wrong though! I dont get Hallmark!:(

After Jo and Blair Graduated Mrs. G was getting sick of her job as Dietian. Mr. Parker would also assume she was avalible for cooking for any party he throw non Eastland parties included. And Mr. Parker would change his mind about the menu about 4 times before the party and sometimes he would change it just as Mrs. G was making the food for the party. So Mrs. G told this to her son on a tape because he doesn't have time to read a letter. So he bought a run down shop/apartment and she took it and made Edna's Edibles out of it and quite at Eastland. Then Jo Couldn't pay to live in the dorms at Langly so Mrs. G let her move in over her storer and Nat and Tootie didn't want to de seperated at Eastland so they convienced Mrs. G to let them live over the store. Blair was trying to get in to the Gamma Gamma house but Bootsy and the other Gamma Gamma girls were making her sweat out her acceptance into the house buy thinking she had to do things for them to let her come in when she was accepted from the start because her grandmother and mother were both Gamma Gamma girls and Blair thought that was mean so Mrs. G and the girls voted Blair to move in with them and she did. I hope that anwers your question

Edna's son bought the store for her cause she sent him a tape that had an argument between her and Mr. Parker and she said something about wishing she could quit or something to that effect. So her son did some trading and came up with the store which required a lot of work before it became Edna's Edibiles. Hope this helps.

PERFECT explanations guys! See *this* is why networks SHOULD NOT skip episodes. Sure *I've* seen most of them, but a lot of people haven't.

I mean I don't mind skipping a few episodes, but if I was sure there was a second run I wouldn't worry. But I agree they shouldn't skip important episodes like those! They are like vital to the whole story line.

ITA, 100%. I mean I don't mind them skipping an episode here and there (as much as I would like to get all the episodes, on tape, and IN ORDER, lol) some episodes are just too vital (I still can't believe they skipped "Graduation," etc.) to the storyline. Oh well. It just seems weird that Hallmark is skipping all these episodes, for no apparent reason other than to rush through the series. Deep down, I keep thinking they're rushing to get to the Beverly Ann years (because of the picture and description at their site), but *shrugs* who knows. LOL.

ick...who would want to do THAT??(no offense, Cloris Leachman Fan...I just don't like BA...Cloris Leachman, on the other hand, is a very talented actress! She had to be to play BA!!)

sorry, but..EW...Mrs. Garrett was just, much more important to the series, and I have a feeling that someone at Hallmark doesn't like her very much...:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

I like Cloris Leachman too, but I was never a fan of the BA years. I mean, some episodes were good, but overall, I just didn't like them all that much, LOL. And that's nothing against Cloris Leachman, i felt it was just too hard to watch other people with the girls, I dunno why, LOL, I mean, Andy kinda grew on me, because he was around for a while, Kelly never did, neither did Pippa. Maybe if BA were around as long as Mrs. G, then maybe... But that's just me.
