the Hotel went out of Buisness Blanche moved to be with her daughter in Georgia and Rose went back to saint olif be with her family. guess Rolland n cheech find somewhere to work.

and sophia couldnt handle hard work labor anymore so she decided move back to shady pines to windown and relax and spend time with her friends. what u all think

If i was the writer of empty nest in the fall of 1993 i would of said... Blanche and Rose lost the hotel and move in with Dorothy her Husband. Sophia wanted to stay at the NEW shady pines so she did like the one in the the Golden palace episode I Love that shady pines THE END!

hmm i like that sounds good to me u sure got a good imagination i like that i think if we both wrote for Nbc or Empty nest it would of made more sense and had lot better shows.

i think they schould made a new Golden Girls but since sophia to ill do act anymore they could have Jean stapelton Edith Bunker as their new roomate. can u see her n Rose telling their stories together at the table with Dorthy and Blanche.lol

Would Empty Nest's ratings decline still would have happened or had been even worse without Sophia? Estelle Getty wasn't exactly getting "A material" anymore, and she could no longer handle long stretches of dialogue, but there were still a few tender moments like her and Harry going square dancing at Shady Pines.

I think the ratings decline would've been the same with or without Estelle since, as you say, she wasn't doing much on the show anyway. Kristy McNichol's departure was the biggest hit to the show's ratings, which started slipping in season 5. But when you add in the absence of The Golden Girls, plus NBC's dwindling interest in sustaining a strong Saturday night comedy block by those last couple seasons, plus weaker writing...it all contributes. It went from 17M viewers in season 1 to 6M in season 7.

Really, no one on the show was getting "A material" there towards the end. I'd say short of Kristy rejoining the show, nothing was going to elevate it...by that least season especially.

I liked seeing Estelle on there, although I wonder what would've happened had they brought in a different Golden Girl, say Betty White, instead. Although explaining Rose's constant presence around the Weston house would've been even odder than Sophia's.
