I saw her first episode yesterday. While Pippa is a dumb name, I liked her character and the Australian accent is charming. Kelly is a lot worse.

You're not alone, Catsrule! Valentina likes her, too.

I'm glad that you like her. Now valentina will have company and no longer be a Loki anymore.

The only thing I can agree with is that Kelly is a lot worse and the most hateful character that's ever came on FOL.

In my opinion though, this Pippa girl is a few years too late to the party. At this point in the show there's no need to shove a young teen girl into the mix when you have a main cast of 20 year old women now. It feels like regressing. I know Andy needed a playmate to lesson his growing creep factor since he was aging, but it only detracts from the Core Four who should be the main focus.

Anyway, valentina will be happy to have company now!

Surprisingly Sherrie Krenn (Pippa) in real life is only 1 year younger than Kim Fields.

OMG that kangaroo is only 5 months younger than me!! So she was 17 years old when she began and was playing a 15 year old. Hmm.

They should've went the other way and slutted her look up a bit to have her be a Langley freshman instead to be more compatible with the girls. Bringing on an Eastland girl at this point seemed like a step back.

But I guess they probably had plans to use her in the Eastland spin off that never came to be?

YEP! She was prominently featured in the backdoor pilot.

Someone said in a Facts of Life Facebook group that the Core Four objected when Sherrie got lots of lines in an episode (Bad Girls in Trouble).

Nancy suggested a special episode where Pimppa was beheaded in a workplace accident at Over Our Heads. And that was going to be the reason they closed the store.

Fortunately, cooler heads prevailed.

If PIPPA was featured to be in the 'FOL PILOT', does that mean she was going to be the new BLAIR from the old 'pilot'? You know, the new bad girl? (1988 vs 1979?)

Interesting. I wonder if that's true. It sure is similar to what Pamela said about Nancy/Lisa.
