Wonder why the Pam character didn't join Charmaine on A Different World? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Not that I wanted to see her but the actress who played charmaine carried her cosby show character over to ADW and would have expected the actress who played Pam to do the same

Plus Living Single didn't start until after ADW was cancelled

Maybe because they had a similiar character in Lena James?

It was said that Pam's grades weren't up to snuff. She waited to late to start trying to get her grades up. And since Hilman was a prestigious University her grades weren't gonna cut it.

Yeah but she was accepted, they never showed when Charmaine was accepted. They were crying because Pam was going to move to Cali and Chamaine was going to go off to College.

Oh ok, so it must have been something decided in the offseason. Wasn't lance a character on ADW or did he just make a guest appearance?

He made a guest appearance in the 5th season. Lance and Charmaine were touring the campus for the weekend.

Brie is one expert, I's be the other. LOL.

When I was watching the show back on NBC, I was for Lance to make an appearance but he never did.

There was an episode of The Cosby Show when Lance and Charmaine stopped over at the Huxtables to visit Pam before they went off to Hillman. Then the actual episode when they arrive which was part two of an episode where Dwayne seduced Whitley.

Right! Dwayne is in Whitley's robe and goes to the back room and change. Lance and Charmaine show up at Whitley's. I'm not certain if TCS and ADW aired these eps back to back that original air date.

Does Charmaine ever mention Pam on A Different World?
