Have you often wondered how much hatred and envy was directed towards the remaining (and in one case, new) Facts of Life cast members by the first season cast members who didn't make the cut?

Well Molly gave Jo the evil eye with a really icy stare in the New Girl, Part 2. There was not one word of dialogue between the two.

That's crazy. Getting the boot from FOL would be the best thing that happened for Molly Ringwald considering all her later success.

It seems like all the girls were friends even the ones that got cut. They were also apparently friendly with Nancy's brother, Philip, too. They were getting the boot regardless of who they would eventually hire as the 4th girl. I watched the making of FOL special on Tubi. Going off memory would guess Felice might be the one who was most put out by getting fired since she was actually the first girl hired and was supposedly promised a bigger role than what she actually got.

Felice, Julie and Julie Anne have always been very polite and respectful of the show and of the girls that continued. The only one that after 40 years is still bitter is Molly :) How can she blame Nancy McKeon? It sure wasn't Nancy's decision to fire her

Ringwald said that she was supposed to do more appearances, but her mother asked if she really wanted to do it and she said no.
