I never saw this episode bu just was wondering why Willis spent the night at Eastland and more importantly why would he be at Eastland without Kimberly, Arnold and Mr. Drummond?

I believe only Arnold spent the night. He went up to stay with his "girlfriend," Mrs. G., and was bored because all the girls went to the Chug-A-Lug bar.

This was "The New Girl" episode, where we first meet Jo.

There is a episode of Facts of Life when Willis guest stars by hisself. That episode is called "Bought and Sold". Have you seen that episode?

First of all, it's hiMself.

Second, I have the episode on tape. It guest stars Zsa Zsa Gabor as the Countess.

He goes to visit Mrs. Garrett. He ends up helping Blair with her make-up boxes...

Why did Willis visit Mrs. Garrett by himself?

why not?

It doesn't make sense.

well isn't the facts of life kind of a spin off from different strokes?

Mrs. Garret worked for mr. drumming as like a maid/ nanny and then left mid show or late show to go and work in eastland. So if willis was over, I wouldn't think anything of it, he was probably visiting his former nanny.

Granted I'm speculating because i've never seen this episode.

i just need someone who seen this episode to tell me why willis went to eastland alone.

There was no reason. He was just there.

Good Lord

Well if you can't tell me why he was there alone, either you have not seen this episode in years or the writing was very poor. WHERE WAS ARNOLD, KIMBERLY, and MR. DRUMMOND in THAT EPISODE???

Do you live on this website?? My lord... you are on here all the time.

If you're so concerned about it, check the episode guide.

Where's my ignore button????

SOLOMON you nut. :lol:

Anyway, I've seen the episode. The reason why Willis went up there alone was probably because he was old enough to. I visit people I used to know when I was younger once I got the chance to drive. Even if he couldn't drive, he could have taken the train.

Also, maybe he went alone because he wanted to spend time with someone at the school....let's say a girl...alone. ;)

It's obvious from your answer that you never saw or remember the episode.

mabey the other actors were busy or something. i dunno, does it matter? the important part is that he was there, and jo probably kicked his butt in basketball when she asked him to play:)

All i'm asking was there an explanation in the EPISODE as to why Willis was at Eastland alone. If there wasn't then that's the answer I'm looking for.

THERE WAS NO FREAKING REASON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WELL I WATCHED THE EPISODE TODAY AND THERE WAS A REASON. THE REASON WILLIS WAS AT EASTLAND WAS BECAUSE MRS.GARRETT INVITED HIM UP THERE FOR THE WEEKEND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I loved the way Jo twirled the basketball in this episode.:)
I am curious as to why Kimberly( Dana Plato) did not guest star on more than just the pilot of The Facts of Life? :confused:

He was there to have a secret tryst with Tootie...trust me on this one.

Probably not because the Kimberly character wasn't into drugs.

Maybe Kimberly WAS into drugs, but we didn't know it because it was some sort of SECRET life she had.*shrugs* It could happen. When characters are shown on television, the only sides of the characters shown are the ones that are WRITTEN... the OTHER non-written side of Kimberly could've been into heavy drugs...;)

Just helpin' ya out, Dannie;)

*looks around innocently, then down at her feet, ashamed* I haven't seen it, yet...I always forget on Fridays...maybe I can remember for tomorrow!;) No school is good for my memory...or at least, we can hope. Anyway, after I watch it, I'll be sure to put in my $.02.:)

He was there to have a secret tryst with Tootie...trust me on this one.

:lol: That was my first thought. He was digging into her night gear :lol: . I think him and Jo would have made a good couple though.

Perhaps, but an interracial couple, especially on a show about kids, might have been too controversial for the time period.

Willis was a little too old for Tootie

Perhaps, but an interracial couple, especially on a show about kids, might have been too controversial for the time period.

Yea i see what you mean, especially between black men and white women (who i feel pose the most threat). It's silly to have Tootie in a predominantly white area but not have her date at least ONE white guy, come on now! When Andy started to develop a crush on Tootie that was obviously never going to go anywhere because of the age difference anyway....

Why even touch on the Brian and Sylvia angle (even almost having a spin-off) if they didn't want to do interracial dating.......

Willis was a little too old for Tootie

How much older is Willis?

This show covered rape, the KKK, child porn, child prostitution but black/white couples gets all of us on edge :lol:

It doesn't make sense.
Of course it makes total sense.
Willis loved Mrs. Garrett and he was a good friend who would always be willing to do a favor for her.
I'm not understanding why you're having trouble with this.

3 or 4 years

At the time I had not seen the episode and saw he made a guest spot alone on FOL and I could not figure out why

I guess Mrs. Garrett called the Drummond's to ask Willis to do a favor for her? But that all could have been explained in the episode.

Willis appearing FOL alone to me was like Gloria Stivic appearing on the Jeffersons LOL


Seems like Kimberly would have made a guest alone before Willis

3 or 4 years

They dated in real life though. Todd retweeted this:

IIRC, in "Bought and Sold" Mrs. Garrett did NOT invite Willis up for the weekend. He just came over to help Blair deliver the Countess's makeup, that's it. Right?

In "The New Girl", Mrs. Garrett did invite ARNOLD to spend the weekend with she and the girls at Eastland.
