Exactly but had way more dimension than those two combined. Even Nancy had more dimension.

I know, I know. We'll discuss it in our support group in Peekskill.

Personally, because of what an actress Cloris is, I believe she makes Retro smile or chuckle or even laugh more than Kelly or Pippa would any day of the week. And that's what's important.

At least, I hope that's true.

I don't know about this. 1 - 6 are are how I would rank the actual female leads. I'm not saying Beverly Ann and Natalie are bad. I actually like their characters, but not as much as the other female leads. 7 - 13 can be mixed every now and then because they really aren't my hated characters from the show. 14 - 16 are the top 3 worst characters ever for The Facts of Life. You have Kelly who stole from the shop, Sue Ann who doesn't consider the girls her friends and lies to them making Natalie feel like crap, and then Molly who is just so damn annoying you want to sew her mouth shut.

1. Blair
2. Jo
3. Tootie
4. Mrs. Garrett
5. Natalie
6. Beverly Ann
7. Cindy
8. George
9. Mr. Bradley
10. Pippa
11. Miss Mahoney
12. Andy
13. Nancy
14. Kelly
15. Sue Ann
16. Molly

I still can't believe you're ranking 2 Lost Girls below Kelly.

Kelly.
