If they did a FOL Reunion part 2 - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

As we all know, Nancy will no longer play the part of Jo in any future reunions or FOL projects even if we brought back Jo, so we minus well fit some other actress to play the part of Jo. If they were to make a Facts of Life Reunion part 2 or did a Facts of Life the Later years seiries like they did with the show Leave it to Beaver, and they brought back Jop, who do you think should play the role of Jo?

Nobody. Characters just shouldn't be recast imo. It's kind of insulting in a way if they recast a character. Okay, we've got all the Brady Bunch reunions to show examples of that. I'm not a fan of the Brady Bunch, so let me do another example. Let's say if they didn't kill the Edith character off in 'Archie Bunker's Place' and they did a reunion movie in 2002. How ya gonna do that since Carroll O' Connor is really dead. It would be a downright insult to cast another actor as Archie Bunker. I say if they do have another FOL reunion, they need to leave Jo out. Even if they get a Nancy McKeon lookalike that looks exactly like her- people will still complain it will be so obvious that it isn't Nancy McKeon.

I agree with Jenny on that one

I totally agree. There is NO ONE like Nancy McKeon. All we can hope is that IF they have another Reunion, Nancy will be kind to us all and SHOW UP! Some people can't be replaced. Maybe next time it will be more drama/comedy type show, and it'll be more appealing to her.
