Default If there was one cast member who you could only ask one question, what would it be?

Let's keep this to 1 cast member and 1 question.

Mine would be to Lisa. Q: How did you feel when you first learned 3 of your closest friends would not be returning for the second season?

I always wondered how Lisa felt when she found out the great cast purge included her 3 close friends from Season 1. They were the girls closest to her age including two born the same year as her. I am not sure if the powers that be casted Nancy M. as Jo yet. But at that time Lisa would probably not know her that well, if she did at all.

We know Mindy was upset when she found out Felice was a casualty.

The only girl who had the best chance at knowing Nancy M. at that time was Felice since she was in an episode of Alice during the first season of FOL.

Yeah, we know Mindy and Felice were close, "like family", according to Mindy.

I guess the question I'd ask is for Molly:

The cast was obviously very close; who were you closest with on the set and would you consider making an appearance if the show had a reunion?

They had the same agent. Felice's mom. Mindy also said that Felice was her soul sister. While Kim was Mindy's best friend. Felice was probably like her big sister on the set.

Julie Pie seemed to have a similar role to Kim.

This would be how I would answer diplomatically if I was Lisa. "Yes, it really hurt me when my friends were let go. Then I got to meet and know Nancy McKeon who became a life long friend. Then when Felice, Julie, and Julie Anne came back to do a few episodes the next 2 seasons, it felt like a reunion with old friends. Today all of us remain friends".

Yep: Mindy and Felice were "soul sisters"!

Kim and Julie Pie were indeed like sisters: Kim says it in her book, Julie Pie said it, everyone agrees. 40 years later, Julie Pie's daughter Jacqueline was babysitting Kim's kids Sebastian and Quincy. That's an incredibly close friendship.

Question for Lisa: What did you think of the show and how it addressed lesbian relationships, especially the implications with the Cindy character, and how pop culture treated the Jo and Blair dynamic as a lesbian relationship?

I think Lisa did answer both of those.

Hmm it did cross my mind that she may have referenced it briefly but don't remember what specific conversation/show where she addressed it.

Lisa answers both in this interview. Skip to the 10:50 mark.
