Taken from an email in the "jopolniaczek" Yahoo! Group...

Yes, you all heard that right. They are already in the planning
stages for a second Facts of Life Reunion Made for t.v. movie.
It'll of course have Charlotte Raye as Mrs. Garrett, Lisa Whelchel as
Blair Warner, Mindy Cohn as Natalie Green, and Kim Fields as
Dorothy "Tootie" Ramsey. And also being in this reunion who was
missing in the last reunion will be Jo Polnaiczek, who will be back
in full person this time, that's right, Jo's back, but the bad thing
is that Jo won't be Played by Nancy McKeon at all, instead Jo will be
played by another actress. After all, did Scott Bryce, the same guy
who played Rick Bonner on the show, play Rick Bonner on the reunion?
Heck No! Instead, Rick Bonner was Played by none other than Carl
Marotte. That's Right, Carl Marotte!

Right now, the producers are in a bind trying to decide if the
folling replacements should play as Jo Polnaiczek Bonner:
Sandra Bullock; Daphne Zuiga, Tiffany Thiessen, or Anjelina Jolie.
Now if you were the producers of the second FOL reunion movie, Who
would you choose from the above list of 4 possibilities to play as Jo
Polnaichec?

I dont know whether or not to believe this... if its true then that's soooo cool!!!!!!!!!! Does anyone know anymore about this or if its even true?

First... Lisa Whelchel has made it clear that she has no intention of returning to acting...

Second, the person obviously didn't take too much time with this post, because he/she didn't even spell "Rae" correctly. So, where did this information come from.

I'll believe it when I see it posted on Lisa's website or read it in a magazine. I'd advise you not to place any bets on it.

I hope they don't make another reunion movie unless it has all the main actors in it. I liked the Reunion movie, but it just wasn't the same without Blair and Jo's sarcastic remarks to one another. I hate to typecast someone, but only Nancy can play the Jo role. I wouldn't even bother watching it if they got another actress for Jo. Die hard fans just wouldn't click with it. JMO....

vienna waits · 07-31-2002, 01:22 AM

Yeah Sandra Bullock in a FOLR Movie seems very unlikely.

iluvjoandnancy4eva · 07-31-2002, 07:39 AM

I think that's a crock.

*Melissa* · 07-31-2002, 10:13 AM

I highly doubt it. Besides, from what I heard before they started making the first reunion movie, they had trouble getting Kim Fields to come back to play Tootie. I highly doubt she would sign on so quickly to do another FOL movie, as with all the actresses.

Until I hear it from an FOL actress myself, I won't believe it.

I agree. It just wasn't the same without everyone there, and it would be even worse if they decided to replace Jo. No one can play Jo but Nancy McKeon. That's just how it is supposed to be. Unless they can get all the girls to come back and a good script I hope they won't consider making another one, it wouldn't be right. Just leave it as is.

Maybe they'll make a reunion movie of the Season 1 axed girls! We'll get to catch up with Cindy, Sue Ann, Nancy, and Molly, triumphantly played again by Molly Ringwald herself!

BonniesLilCutiePie · 07-31-2002, 12:35 PM

It won't be the same without Nancy McKeon playing Jo! And if Nancy and Lisa *espically Lisa* aren't in it then I will not watch it!

Yeah it is a crock. NMK is the one and ONLY person to ever be able to portray Jo. I didnt even watch the real FOLR because NMK wasnt in it.

james_baby87 · 07-31-2002, 02:19 PM

If its FOL I'll watch it no matter whos in it

Mr. Stefani · 07-31-2002, 02:54 PM

I dont think it did well enough to have another FOL one.

Impressions · 07-31-2002, 04:50 PM

It's just another one of those rumors I'm guessing, someone just put it up to get attention and to get all excited all over it, I don't think it was that popular, so why would they make another one, and if they are going to replace jo just leave her out again. It would be kind of hard for her to be replaced just because they look like Nancy, they have to have the personalitiy.

KimFieldsFan637 · 07-31-2002, 04:50 PM

I personally don't believe it - But she said that someone else will play Jo. And that the same person didnty play Rick...Well that is TOTALLY different - Nancy Mckeon WAS Jo - you can't just replace her! I will REALLY

if they DO have a reunion and put someone else as Jo...That just wouldn't be right

Fender106 · 07-31-2002, 05:37 PM

I don't believe it. I think it is definetely a hoax - It will be totally ruined if another actress plays Jo...and if someone else is Blair, then forget me watching it at all. Blair and Jo are just not the same unless it's Lisa and Nancy.
