Ummm, he wasn't originally in the cast from the get go, so I'll say that he was an addition.

Actually, I thought Dabnis was kinda cool! I would have liked to see more Dabnis, more Kenny (aka Bud!) and less Olivia. Jeez she was annoying and always dressed like a little clown!

I'm surprised a lot of people liked Dabnis.. I never really found him interesting and I thought Vanessa and Dabnis were a horrible couple. They seemed awkward together.

I wouldn't mind seeing the girl who played Theo's girlfriend more.. I forgot what her name was on the show but the actresses name is the late Michelle Thomas RIP. I would have liked to see more eps with her and Theo together. Explore their relationship more.

I'm really late but I'm just finding out they were dating in real life too.

I believe her name on the show was Justine Philips.

Now, now. I don't like Olivia either, but she didn't destroy the whole show.

Less Pam. For God's sake, less Pam!

Olivia I can deal with. It seems that most sitcoms add a youngster when times get tough....but Pam.....please.

These episodes were awful!

Wow!!! I totally think it's the other way around. I can deal with Pam. Heck, I even liked that character more than what I liked Vanessa. She was just more interesting. Olivia was just annoying and unneeded though.

I've been watching the season 8 DVD, and I really didn't know how little of the original cast were in those episodes. Even Bill Cosby and Phylicia Rashad were cut down a lot, to show more of Pam and her friends?

I would have liked to see less of Charmaine (easily the most annoying character on the show) and Olivia (for obvious reasons). I honestly can't think of any one I wanted more of. I got enough of most characters on the show-LOL
