Default Were Willis and Kimberly really lovers?

[B][I]Did anyone know before the t.v. movie that Todd and Dana where having a sexual relationship off camra. And do you think any of the cast members knew.

Personally, I was kinda surprised at the relationship at first, but then after thinnking about it briefly, it didn't really faze me, knowing Todd.I think there was a chance that Gary might have known, but with the problems he was having, that even wasn't a guarantee.

my father's wife is convinced todd's relationship with dana is what led to his early hassles with the police. she thinks that somehow word leaked out that "America's Princess" was sleeping with her black male teenage co-star and at that time, interracial relationships still being taboo, they decided to screw around with todd for kicks. i dunno but...could be

Yeah. I didn't know this either. They didn't even mention it on the E!THS, and they love scandal on that....I did like it that they really were best friends, even when they weren't sleeping together. Years later, they were still great friends. I got all teary when they showed them later on. LOL

Well I watched the E!THS the night before the movie, just to see how many things they would mess up, but they were pretty accurate. Mostly everything mentioned in the E!THS was shows on screen. You can probably find alot of info about the movie online.

What makes you think Todd Bridges is telling the truth??? I read a story many years ago when Dana Plato was ALIVE and he said that he and Dana do NOT have that type of relationship.

Now that Dana is dead there is no one to respond to the accuracy of Todd's claims.

Dana Plato just didn't strike me as the kind of person who would have an interracial relationship especially back the. I'm not saying Todd is lying for sure but there is definitely a chance that he is lying.

Big 3 fan you have got to be kidding right? Why would Todd Bridges,a happily marrierd man with two kids fabricate a story about Dana? This is the same person who knew and loved her for more than half of her life.The movie aired over a month ago and not one member of the cast & crew or families of them have refuted anything in it.You think Danas' ex husband didn't know about her past relationships,as I am sure she knew of his? What exactly is the type of person who would date inter racially anyway? That is the type of thinking that led to Todd and Dana being so secretive.I have recently seen some old pictures of Dana slow dancing (as a teenager )with a Black guy whose face is cut off on the pic.There are also pics of them out together without Gary Coleman.One of my co-workers said she had heard about the two of them while the show was still on the air.They were romantically involved and it's OK,it only proves how good they were at acting.

Wink Todd and Dana

I don't know why some fans of a show with racial harmony as it's theme is so uptight about this,lol. I hope I can attach these pictures. Todd and Gary knew Dana for twenty years,we didn't know her at all and I think it's pretty arrogant to think we the fans would know her better than them.

Yeah it's possible but WHY didn't Dana Plato every say a word about it when she was alive???

Dana's career took a turn into the dumpster with her posing nude and doing a porn film so if she was doing all that unsavory crap then she sure as hell could have admitted to an interracial affair with Todd but she never did.
