Post Both Felice Schachter and Julie Piekarski are in negotiation to appear.

Read in a tabloid that both actresses will be back for supporting roles when all the eastland girls get together for a wedding shower(guess who) that will be part of the filming in toronto. The new writers spent alot of time watching old tapes of the initial seasons and feel that the original girls are an integral part of FOL history.

I also hear that the one person that they really were pushing for to make a cameo was non other than 80's bratpacker Molly Ringwald, but of course she declined since she doesn't have fond memories of he FOL days.

I'm really not sure if I'm going to like this movie if they bring the first season girls back. I mean, they were good in the first season but they were never really FOL. They left afer the first year. Why would they come back!

Nancy Mckeon should consider herself lucky to not being in the reunion movie. It's getting worse all the time.

Well since Britt is a Jineddy (Jinny and Teddy) and Morganne is a Jinanybody (Jin and Anybody) I'm a JinMag, now you can figure that one out on your own.

*Me, Britt, and Morganne are self appointed message board bad girls...we rebel against self appointed moderators... You know who you are!*

On April 24, 2008, Kaley and I are going to meet in LA and handcuff ourselves to Nancy McKeon and Jay Harrington, and you're not. Ahahaha!

"COME ON! SAY IT WITH ME!" *LOL!*

I'm glad there coming back in cameos to be part of Natalie's bridal shower and wedding, it's not like the movie is going to revolve around them for peet sakes. Even thogh it would be cool to see tham share equal spotlight in the opening credits like it was in season one.

I was watching the E! True Hollywood Story on "Sixteen Candles" and it said that *she* is the one who quit to do a movie ("The Tempest" I think). But who knows for sure? That could've been an excuse to save face!

Well, I think that NMK has total control as to how much of an appearance she wants to make in this movie, if any appearance at all. It's not too late, and she can still change her mind (I honestly think she will).

Actually Max, I usually agree w/ you, but this time I think differently (please don't hate me for expressing my opinion). After purchasing the 1st volume of FOL, I have a change of heart about the 1st season girls. They were the original cast members, even though they didn't last long. I have seen the 1st season many times before, but after analyzing it again, all in all I must say that it's not that bad. Of course, Blair & Tootie were the ones who helped it survive, IMO. I am a Jo fan too, but the 1st season girls deserve more credit than most of us give them.....I would feel bad if I were one of the actresses who played in the 1st season and I was fired due to casting changes.

(Eek, notice that I am always having to edit my messages. My eyes are getting worse and worse and sometimes I don't see my mistakes the 1st time around.)

Not too sure if this is going to be a good idea to bring the season 1 girls back. For a cameo, great idea though!
