Is Nancy McKeon quitting the show? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Nancyfan2005 · 05-26-2004, 10:14 PM

I've heard somewhere that she wanted alot less drama in her life.
Then it said she's not doing a season 5, and then it said thatshe's doing a 5th season. Which one is it. Is she quitting, or is she staying, what. I think the truth should come out. If Nancy quit's, I'll never watch the show or the Lifetime channel or the Lifetime Movie Network ever again. I'll also petition for other networks to show Nancy Mckeon's movies instead, IE, Lifetimes big archrival the Oxygen channel, The We channel, the Biography channel for the Tracy Thurman movie and Firefighter both, Court TV could also show the Tracy Thurman movie as well, as it involved a big court case. The Wrong Woman could be shown on one of the Premium channels, especially on the IFC channel. The Wrong Woman according to the IMDB is classified as an Independent Film. So it could be shown on IFC. Her other TV movies like This Child is Mine, Strange Voices, and The Last Mafia Marriage could be shown on either WE channel, PAX, or A&E channels. I hope to god that Nancy doen't decide to do something foolis and quit the very show that reinvented her image. That would be very boldheaded to just give up on fame, especially considering that her husband, a key grip, makes a hell of a lot less money than her.

Whew....ok...the "lots less drama" thing was Jinny. Not Nancy. Big difference. Go to www.lifetimetv.com. They explain that part.

I haven't heard if Nancy is doing a 5th season. Personally, I hope the cancel the show, or decide to stop doing it. I really don't like it now. Not just because of CD's leaving, or just because of Stacey...it's a culmination of everything that has happened these past two seasons.

I really don't think that $$ is an issue for Nancy and her husband. I'm sure she's made more than enough by being one of the stars of a hit show, twice. (FOL is probably still being shown in syndication somewhere, just not anywhere here, unfortunately, and she probably gets royalties, if that's what you call them.) So, she doesn't have anything to worry about.

Nancyfan2005 · 05-26-2004, 11:28 PM

I don't think FOL is showing anywhere else in the world. Heck, alot of foreigners don't even know that FOL exists, let alone Nancy McKeon. I think that FOL royalties already dried up a couple of years ago when they stopped showing it on Hallmark. So no, Nancy McKeon is not receiving any royalties from FOL anymore. I don't think any of the former FOL stars are, either. The only hope if they are to get their royalties flowing again is to have FOL released on DVD.

As much as I wouldn't want to lose Jinny from the show, I really don't think that it would be "foolish" for Nancy to quit. I mean, my gosh, she's been working since she was three, and now she has a family that needs her, too. I think it would be totally understandable if she wanted to quit.

So Snowfall, you would still watch it if Nancy McKeon were to quit.
I know I wouldn't.

DarthMaul'sDiciple · 05-27-2004, 02:16 AM

The show would totally, and I mean really totally suck without Nancy McKeon and her Jinny character. It would totally suck hard core without Nancy McKeon in it, period. And don't even flirt with the idea of recasting Jinny Exstead if Nancy were to leave. That would suck at so many levels more. Both scenarios would suck so hard core.

CD DeLorenzo · 05-27-2004, 07:47 AM

okay, this is something that desperately needs to be said.

you guys are ridiculous! (mind me, of course not all of you. This is directed to the hypocrites here)

when Tracey left and the Tracey fans were upset, we got to hear "It's just a show" and that we complained too much and god knows what else. And we didn't even start until it was certain that she had left, without reason even!

Now Nancy had a baby, and it isn't even official that she leaves the show, or if the show is even gonna have a fifth season. Of course it would suck if she leaves, or if it gets cancelled, personally I couldn't care less, I stopped watching when CD left, so I can understand those who don't want to watch it anymore. But whatever happened there, or whatever is going on with Nancy now, those are personal things, between the actresses and the producer. Shouldn't we just all wish that each of them are happy, no matter what they want to do next?

The thing that's pissing me off is that the same people who first scolded the CD fans, now, just a few months later, are doing the exact same thing. Hypocrites really are the worst thing for a community.

Peace

I agree...I was one that helped make a protest for the CD fans, but I never EVER said anything about Boycotting the show, or at least I don't believe so. I could be wrong, but I am just about postive that I didn't ever say boycott the network, and or all of lifetime channels. WE had a petshion for people to sighn maybe hopeing to bring back Tracey Needham, but once we realized that it wasn't going to work we stopped.

Something else I would like to point out...Yes, we did have some Annoying Tracey fans who were spouting out to stop watching the show, And who were putting down Amy Jo, but I for one don't believe i did that, and told other fans that it was not right for them to do so, and I still believe that. So I may not like the character but I waited to watch her before I made my opuion. Yes, I think the show hasn't been as good this year, but that's me. For all I know it could get better next season, and I think this season has gotten better as the year went on besides the shows that Nancy weren't in I didn't like those that much, but i did like the secound one. I gess this is just another one of my rambles, but it's how I feel...and now on to the next thread , and my next ramble!

So, she doesn't have anything to worry about.

I'd like to see a ballpark figure of how much Nancy makes per eppisode of The Division and how much she made per eppisode of Facts of Life and how much she makes per year on Facts of Life royalties and royalties from her TV movies and Intimate Portrait.
I thought so. She doesn't make enough. I've even heard she married Marc Andrau because of his moneys. I think he makes a hell of a lot of money being a key grip. More money than Nancy McKeon herself makes in a year with The Division and all her royalties(if she gets royalties that is{I think the producers of FOL and Nancy's tv movies gets all the royalties instead}). I think Nancy could survive off of just Mark Andrau's income alone. Hell, I've even heard Nancy sold her car, her house, and her production company all and is making a permanent move to Austin, Texas to stay with her husband. She's even dropped her McKeon last name and wants to be just known as Nancy Andrau instead. She's dumping Hollywood for good. Hell, I've even heard that she doesn't even care for her fans anymore. She would care less if her millions of beloved fans, and her most die-hard fans, all turned againt her. It was even estimated that she lost hundreds of thousands of fans when she first got married in June of 2003.
Nancy McKeon, whether you like it or not, is losing too many of her fan base, not to mention that she's losing her cult and her cult status. I think Nancy would rather live off of Mark Andrau's income for the rest of her life and be a housewife and have Marc Andrau rule the home instead. Let's face it, people, Nancy is giving up acting for good, just like Lisa Whelchel did in 1991.
Future predictions:
I see Nancy McKeon being a born again Christian next year and home-schooling her child and any other children she has when they're school age, just like Lisa Whelchel does with her kids.

I just hope I don't get ridiculed for this or kicked out for this, either.

*MIBabe03* · 05-28-2004, 04:00 PM

Okay according to you she is losing her fans and doesn't care about them anymore. If that is the case, than why would her die hard fans boycott Lifetime if she left the show. That doesn't make any sense at all. Also if she does end up leaving for Austin Texas, maybe she is doing it because she wants to focus on motherhood. Maybe that is more important to her, it's her perrogative. I say whatever makes her happy, it's her life. If you were a true fan, you would be happy with her decision regardless. Also she is married to Marc Andrus, not Marc Andrau. I'm not even one of her fans and I knew that.

Ewan's My Man · 05-29-2004, 12:50 PM

Honestly? I personally don't care anymore. The show needsta be shot an put out of it's misery anyways. Besides, Jinny was best when she was all troubled.

Nancy gave us what...34 years of her life? Well, I want her to be able to go off and actually LIVE a life while she still has the chance.

*shrugs* I'm done.

Inspector Bariteau · 05-31-2004, 02:04 PM

ALL I KNOW, is ANYONE who is mad at Nancy if she leaves TD needs to think about this. Lifetime may be stupid in writing, but they're smart enough to know that 90% of the fans they have is because of Nancy, or Nancy and Tracey respectively. Because they have BOTH done LOTS of other roles in the past, and that the fans just follwed them over to TD. So now with Tracey gone, and Nancy gone the show will hit rock bottom soon. Watch! At least if Tracey were there it would keep there head above water, so to speak. But that's not my point. My point is, if you can't understand that the only reason Nancy would even dream of leaving the show is to concentrate on her family, then you need to rethink this all. And I think she is real smart for leaving, if she does, and I LOVE her for that. I would do the same. It is virtually impossible to have a full-time career on screen, and take care of all of the demanding needs of a mother to an infant, and STILL be a loving and caring wife. IT IS VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE. Although I understand if anyone could do it, it would be Nancy. She'd probably do a scene, and have Aurora 10 feet away from her if she'd cry she'd stop a scene. HAHA I can so see that. As her mother said, a vacation to her is another job, but I know she wouldn't put her child at risk to do what she loves. She's not that kind of person. But anyway, I can not blame her 1% if she wanted to quit the show and take a break. Hell she deserves one!!! 30 some odd years of service on screen. So remember, if you boycott Lifetime for agreeing with Nancy leaving and not putting up a fight about it, then you're pretty much boycotting Nancy wanting to make a job out of being a full time mother. Think about it.
