Default Nell Carter sighting on D.S.

I know you guys! I couldn't believe it myself. She took time from "Gimmie A Break" to appear as "Carmella" on Diff'rent Strokes.

She looks all the world like Nell. She was wisecracking, heavy set, same hairstyle, sarcastic, a singer, man chaser and violent. Any opinions?

LOL. She looks like Nell Carter. The only difference between me and Solomon is that it is amusing to me and I am not insulting the girl. She looks the same way Nell looked during season five of "Gimmie A Break". I was just waiting for Carmella to say "Addy, Addy, Addy" or "There ain't no Julio here!" LOL.

I thought the exact same thing this morning while watching. Good to know I'm not the only one who thought so.

My problem with the Drummonds is that they keep checking Arnold but Carmella needs to be put into check as well. I would tell her that she needs to watch how she talks to Arnold in his own house. I don't play that. Even as a seven year old watching this episode on NBC on Sat. Night, I thought that she should not talk to him like that in front of his parents.
