Do You Think 'The Facts Of Life' Should Have Added Dana Plato to the Original Cast?

No, "Garrett's Girls" (The Girls' School) was the DS episode that was a pilot.

Tootie came to visit the Drummonds before the new at Eastland and when the new year started at Eastland, school was closed for some reason in New York and Arnold came to visit Mrs. Garrett in the 1980 season openers of these two shows.

Actually Arnold did appear the second season opener of FOL. He was hanging around Tootie.

I will watch it tomorrow because I never knew Arnold appeared on FOL alone. I thought his only appearance was with the Family.

I thought only Wills appeared alone

Didn't you say that Mr D and Arnold never appeared on the series?

Check it out, man. Tootie visits the Drummonds before school starts in the city and I think she said that she was in summer camp before her visit. Then on FOL, Arnold visits a few weeks later in TV time while school is out in the city. She tells Natalie that she was at summer camp and went on a panty raid at the boys' camp. LOL.

She appeared on the episode when Kimberly had the sleepover with the girls from the school.

She appeared in the season opener where Willis and Arnold got held up at the bank.

She appeared in the episode where Willis smokes pot

She then appeared in another episode that aired before or after that pot episode. She appeared in these two eps for the 1981-1982 season when Gary did not appear.

No. She only appeared on DS visiting Kim's family. During the 1981-1982 season, she appeared twice staying with the family. While the school year started in the city, she spent her last few weeks of summer vacation with them and she and Kimberly were discussing how the school year at Eastland starts a few weeks later than schools here in the city.
