One of my co-workers reminds me of Fay. She's an older woman (Close to 60, I think.) and she's always so sweet, caring, and cheerful. She's like a mother hen to everyone, kids and adults. I know when she retires in a couple of years, it will be a huge loss to the school.

There's a girl I work with who's always saying that I remind her of Lowell. She even calls me "Lowell" sometimes, lol. There are times when I'll try and be funny, and I find myself delivering jokes like Lowell.

And there's a woman I know that kind of reminds me of Fay. Funny thing is she's a retired stewardess, lol. But I knew her from school, she was also a subsitute teacher.

One of my nieces (30 years old) looks almost exactly like Casey. She doesn't have Casey's personality, but the resemblance is amazing. If she grew her hair longer, she would look like a younger version of Amy Yasbeck.

Another one of my nieces (22 years old) doesn't look like Helen, but she acts a lot like Helen -- loud voice, assertive, a little bit "bossy", lots of wisecracks.

Does she bore the hell out of you with mindless minutae when she tells a story?

You know it's funny you mention that. I noticed that many Wings fans, with the exception of Helen, don't seem to care much for the female characters on Wings. I wonder why the writers had a hard time coming up with another female character that was both likeable and funny. They tried to give Brian a love interest, but fans said that Alex was too tough, bitchy, not funny etc. and that Casey was either too snobby or too whiny.

And even the likes of Helen and Fay played the 'straight man' alot of the time. I mean, when people mention the funniest Wings characters, they are always male. Lowell, Antonio, Carlton, Brian etc.

I LOVED Helen's character. Alex, IMO, wasn't too bitchy. I just think Farah Forke wasn't that good of an actress. Could have done without Faye, though. The more I watch the shows, I think she was "filler"; meaning they had to add 60 seconds or so with her meaningless drivel. The only character on Wings I could have done without.

Sure do--ME and my brother. I am totally Brian. I am a free spirit, love to have fun and I do before I think (haha maybe not always good but eh) and my brother is Joe, very calculated, has all his ducks in a row and sometimes thinks things over a bit toooo much. He even agreed with me when I mentioned the comparisons.
