The whole point of the supporting characters was to have some interaction with others than the main core of the four girls and Mrs. Garrett. There wasn't much involvement with the other students at Eastland or Langley without it becoming a "mob" like with the first season. So they added some secondary characters for comic effect. Kind of like a subplot. It's not the MAIN plot, but something to give you the idea that other things were going on, and there were other people in town or at school that had some effect on the girls.

So does anyone think George Clooney has forgiven Facts of Life for firing him from the show?
