why is it that in all the episodes ever made kimberly seems to be always "unimportant" or "forgotten"? i mean think about it... she has just as an important role in the show... i mean she is mr.drummonds biological daughter and coleman and bridges r funny but shouldnt they all derserve equal recognition??? and in the first season begining theme song it dosent even show her face... all it says is "and dana plato". I dont know but to me it seems like they were playing favorites and not being fair when they created the show.

Exactly!!! I always thought she was as Important as any of the boys. She was after all their (adopted) Sister. They should have had more stories surrounded around her. I think they eventually felt bad, that's why "FOL" was created.(And when she was on that, she was treated unfairly).

probally why she killed her self

Buffyboy323 · 11-29-2005, 11:10 PM

Oh God! That wasn't very nice. (lol) That's not why she killed herself. She killed herself after she was fired from the show. And the show was over at that time anyway.

dstrokesislife · 11-30-2005, 02:20 PM

i know=( im just kidding... and accually what happend was she overdosed on strong pain releivers after having her wisdom teeth removed but non the less she had alot more problems before that

To all those true fans out there who really loved Dana and believe in there hearts that Dana didn't die because of some stupid overdose. Here is the truth. Dana was murdered by her craphead so-called fiance robert mencaca. He killed her because she was going to to dump him. He also had a deal with one of his friends to make money off her death. But the real person behind the scenes who wanted Dana dead was Joni Richardson. Her mother -in-law. She hated Dana real bad and didn't want her around Tyler.Thats the truth. I did more investigation than anyone involved in this matter and spoke with many town locals in Moore, OK. NOW YOU HAVE THE TRUTH.

Dana didn't kill herself. She was murdered.

But the maid wasn't in the opening credits either was she?

That's why I always said another female should have played Kimberly Drummond because Dana Plato was funny. Neither was Willis to be honest. It was just Mr. Drummond and Arnold

So you think somebody else should have played Kimberly because Dana WAS funny?! That don't make sense.

I didn't liker her chemistry with Arnold and Willis. I don't know if you ever seen the Hello Larry crossover but the girl who played RUTHIE had great Chemistry with Willis and Arnold and would have made a better Kimberly Drummond

Yes, I saw that crossover. Ruthie brought a different type of energy and chemistry with Arnold and Willis. The interactions were great. She seemed to set up a lot of jokes for Arnold. But how do you feel Dana should have been replaced because she WAS funny like you said? I didn't mind her role was suppose to be straight and nothing more than Drummond's daughter. the show was focused around Arnold, Willis, and Mr. Drummond. Though there were some good episodes when the show focused on Kimberly and Dana did a good job being dramatic in the episodes that did.
