Dana's Broken arm - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

What led up to Todd Bridges breaking Dana' arm ? I've watched many DS retrospectives - some in which Conrad Bain and Dana Plato were interviewed, but it seems all were trying to cover over the incident. I've been a Dana fan since ine 1970's and have ALWAYS been angry about this. (A guy should NEVER strike a female, much less cause an arm to be broken !)

I never heard of this. This is prob just some legend, like Cindy Brady being run over by a bus while crossing the street

Naaaaah ! It did happen. Watch the E! Channel special on Oct. 27. Conrad Bain and Todd Bridges talk about it. Todd claims they were wrestling around and he broke Dana's arm. Conrad Bain says they were wrestling, but Todd was'nt playing around. He said Todd was mad. Benn, watch the E! special and you'll see that regretfully i'm telling the truth.

Yep sweetie ! It really happened ! :O)

I've never heard of this too. So what made him so mad??

In all that time I've never heard this. It's rather shocking.

I know they both did stupid things that hurt other people, but it's unbelievable that either of them would try to hurt each one another- weren't they buddies?

Yeah, it happened but it was an accident. If you listened to the Howard Stern Interview with Dana Plato, she says they were just playin. Believe me, it was an accident.

It's a serious accusation folks. I've never read any verifiable quote from Dana plato saying that todd Bridges maliciously broke her arm. Tread lightly.

As a hispanic american i find different strokes to be nothing but a poor immitation of The Monkeys, without davey, mickey, and the great music ! All different strokes fans should be ashamed !

This whole thing about Todd breaking Dana's arm sounds like an ugly rumor to me. I find it very hard to believe.

panman · 08-27-2001, 11:13 PM

It's true, but it was an accident! Dana freakin admited(sp) it at her interview. Why the hell would she say "Uhh, Todd broke my arm....." and be lieing. Isn't that rediculous? Believe me, it happend and was an ACCIDENT.

It made the tabloids (Enquire). Dana was on the cover holding her casted arm. It said, He Broke My Arm. Now does anyone know someone with good archive to search for the incident?

Have a nice day
