I'm going with Hubbert-Whitten. She had so much attitude and flair. She was great. The second Vivian was kinda bland.

I kind of got used to the second aunt. You were right about the first Aunt. She did have attitude and flair, but Daphne Maxwell-Reid was successful in taking over the role.

I also liked the first aunt. Besides being beautiful, she was a strong woman with a lot of guts and wouldn't take crap from anyone. I especially liked the episode where she danced with a group of women half her age. That took a lot of courage. I was sorry she was replaced with the second aunt, who I think pales in comparison.

i totally agree, but my question is WHY did she get replaced, what was the reason? if anyone knows please tell me!

I most definitely liked the first aunt the best. She had so much attitude and style. No disrespect to the second aunt or anything, but she just couldn't live up to the first aunts performance

Janet was definetely the best at playing Aunt Viv, she really got into the role and she proved that even though you have a rich husband you can still be independent. The second Vivian just messed that all up, she seemed to be more dependent than independent. No offense to Daphane but I don't think she could act very well in that role, it just didn't fit her.

Oh yeah, I heard a lot of different reasons why Janet left. I heard it was because she was pregnant in real life and she wanted to take care of her baby. I also heard that her and Carlton didn't get along. I also heard that her and Will didn't get along. I don't know which one is true but if someone knows please clarify.

I'd have to say the 2nd one! I think the show got better in its later years.
