Figured I post this here...

"The Facts of Life" and "Living Single" alumna Kim Fields is set as a lead opposite Wanda Sykes and Mike Epps in Netflix’s multi-camera family comedy series "The Upshaws".

Fields will play Regina Upshaw, Lucretia’s (Sykes) sister and Bennie’s (Epps) high school sweetheart, now wife, and the mother of his three children. Regina works in medical billing at a local hospital and struggles to stay upbeat and keep her family happy — and her husband in check — while pursuing goals of her own.

Cool! I hope Regina watches "The Facts of Life"!

It's funny because for many years, Kim played "Regine" on Living Single. Now she's playing a character named "Regina". Too bad she's not playing "Tootsie"

Yeah, totally!

I wonder if Kim mentioned that during auditions: "You know, I've already played a character with a very similar name..."
