Where were Sue Ann, Cindy, Molly, and Nancy living during the TLC era? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Where were the Lost Girls living during the events of The Little Chill? There are a few clues, but maybe not enough to be conclusive.

Cindy, Sue Ann, and Nancy arrive at the Core Four's house at the same time, indicating they drove there together, either carpooling or in a caravan of vehicles. It would be very weird for everyone to otherwise arrive at the same time.

Cindy is a model, indicating she might have been living in NYC, the fashion capital of the US. LA would also be a big location for modeling.

Sue Ann says that she's working as the VP of a big corporation, and that she picked up her outfit at Bergdorf's department store in NYC. This indicates that she's living in NYC, but we later find out her VP story is a lie. However, the outfit could still be from Bergdorf's. If she didn't live in NYC, it's kind of senseless to lie about it, as the area code in those days would have given her away. Then again, I suppose she could have lived in Connecticut or New Jersey, as Angela Bower on WTB didn't seem to have a problem with the daily commute.

We get very little information about Nancy, other than she planned to be a psychiatrist, and go to medical school. Not enough info, there, to figure out where she might be living.

Anything I missed? Where do you think they were living? What about Molly? Do you think she was in Hollywood, too busy fighting for environmental causes and fighting for women's rights to attend a class reunion?

Nice to see the show sticking to its tried and true formula!

Maybe she was still living in Manhattan? Perhaps involved in causes there? But I'd imagine probably a big city somewhere for sure, where she could actively have resources and locations, etc. for causes and activism.

It's true: even though she got a reasonably sized part in TLC, the fact that we got so little info about her home life is a little disappointing.. but par for the course with Nancy, anyway.

TLC really should have been a two-parter... and if Molly had agreed to appear, maybe we would have gotten a two-part story.

Definitely a big city.

I read that Joan Baez lives in the San Fransisco area; if Molly wanted to be the Joan Baez of the '80s, maybe she moved there.

Of course, if she wanted to be the president of GM, maybe she would have moved to Detroit.

There definitely would have been a lot of press coverage. Time Magazine might have run a story: "Molly Ringwald returns to her 'worst job ever'!"

My take.

Since Nancy O. is about ready to be married to Roger, I would take that that she was an undergrad and goes to a Medical School in NYC. She stayed close to Roger. Long distance romances for college students generally don't go well because one of them will find someone else to fall for.

As for Molly, she was either the same class as Tootie or a year ahead. So she would have probably have gone to some college to take up Womyn Studies (yes, my college had such a major and womyn was spelled that way). Molly transferred out of Eastland long ago and no one knows where she is since she cut off all contact with them (Life imitates art?).

Good theories!

The script for "Dope" says Roger was a townie. Do you think Roger followed Nancy to NYC, or did he stay behind in Peekskill? Would he have helped her raise the baby? Would their marriage have lasted?

I strongly suspect Molly took at least one class on Feminism. I hope she also took Guitar Tuning 101.

I can see Molly going to one of those womyn only colleges in New England.

Peekskill isn't that far from NYC. Roger could go see Nancy on weekends.
