Will Meredith and Michael Gross appear? And hopefully Tina and Justine also!

I think there all scheduled to appear except for Justine Bateman. I heard a couple months back that Justine is the only one who the shows producers weren't sure about. Hopefully though she has had a change of heart and will appear.

Why would she of all people not want to appear with the other cast? She seemed like she'd be the first one in favor.

I know what you mean, I haven't seen Justine in years and am curious to see how she's doing. But it turns out she didn't show up, and neither did Brian Bonsall who played Andy, but everyone else was there including Michael J Fox, and my favorite Meredith Baxter.

She was on "Men Behaving Badly" a few years back which was another remarkable footnote in the history of the National Broadcasting Company.
