Question Jo's legacy

How will you remember Jo? Since she wasn't in the reunion and everyone made it clear she was a cop, with her 'divistion', and that the girls hadn't seen her in a 'lifetime'. When you think of her will you imagine her as Jinny? Or will you remember her as herself in the 80's?


Will your subconscious believe her to have change into a heavy drinker, or the same level-headed Jo we all knew and loved?



I'm not sure if my subconscious knows the difference anymore...

mm..well I know I think of her as the smart assed street wise Jo. She's way different than Jinny and yeah. I remember her by her remarks and the fact that she was the one who would pick a fight w/ you. I'll also remember her and Blair and their friendship. And lots of other stuff that my brain cannot reach....

I'll always remember Nancy McKeon as Jo. I'll think of her as Jinny, but to me she'll always be Jo.

Same with Kim Fields. She'll never be Regine...she'll always be Tootie. And if any of the other girls end up in TV Series, they'll still always be the FOL girls to me. Especially Lisa

Jo will always be Jo to me, not Jinny. Jo would never do the stuff Jinny does. I see Jo as a 36ish year old woman, level headed as always, working with children in some manner, and happily married with a few children of her own. Of course she gives Blair a call three or four times a week, sometimes just to pick on her, and she keeps in touch with all the girls. Jo is someone who'll remember her roots...she'll always be level headed Jo to me no matter what.

That is the way I've always pictured Jo. I was kind of sad that the reunion movie seemed to try to make us believe differently. The Jo they described, the cop who hadn't seen her friends in "a lifetime" and was too busy with work to visit for Thanksgiving, was disappointing to me.

Yes, that's just about exactly how I picture Jo. If I ever saw Nancy McKeon on the street (ha fat chance) I'd say, "JO!" even though she'd probably look more like Jinny. lol
