Just a quick question. I notice that they switch actresses for the role of Harriette later in the series, why do they do this?

LecyGoransonfan · 08-17-2006, 07:51 PM

well the show was originally suppose to be a spin off for Hariette's character from Perfect Strangers. Then Urkel came into the show and it became all about him so from what I understand this pissed off JoMarie Payton since it was suppose to be her show and then around the 9th season she started trying to suggest family themed episodes to the writers but when they rejected her ideas she had enough of it and quit.

wow, I never knew that. Thats very interesting. Poor her.

Urkle rocks though hehe. I wondered why he was never in the beginning episodes but now this explains it.

you know I nervery did know why They Replaced Hattiette

I'm glad somebody already posted about this because i was about to post about her leaving the show. I was watching Family Matters this morning and i noticed the woman who played Tisha Campbell's mom on Martin tv show replaced JoMarie Payton. Now i see why JoMarie left the show after reading what somebody posted about she gave the writers of the show some ideas and they rejected her ideas. That's not right. The actors deserve to have some input to give to the writers and producers. JoMarie and Reginald had good chemistry. I didn't watch the show when JoMarie was replaced.

Yes this is true. And to add insult to injury while they were turning down JoMarie Payton's ideas they let Jaleel White, and Reginald Vel Johnson write episodes.

Interesting. I've always wondered why. I prefer the original Harriette.

I didn't like the last season anyway. Steve and Laura was NOT meant to be!

I totally agree with you on that one.

Furienna · 04-21-2007, 05:53 PM

You know, most people think they weren't right for each other. Almost everyone except the writers.

Tyrone Biggams · 04-27-2007, 03:42 PM

haha, poor JoMarie. that really sucks, i had no idea.

did this happen on Fresh Prince as well? don't the mothers change in that show as well?

The 2nd Harriette and Carl didn't mesh as well together as the 1st Harriette and Carl did. I always watch that episode where Carl goes to a hot massuesse (spelling) and wonder how JoMarie Payton would've been. With the change, the role of Harriette was different. Would the 1st Harriette be so willing to do Eddie's laundry or to have Eddie's job changed? It just didn't seem like Harriette to me.
