Default New actress to play the part of Jo should they do second FOL reunion 2nd.FOL reunion:

As we all know, Nancy Mckeon wont ever again play as Jo on any future FOL reunions or FOL projects even if they bring back Jo.
So folks, Which actress do you think should play as Jo if they bring her back in a second FOL reunion?
Please post below.

Rick Bonnor was not a main character, that's why they can easily replace him. We didn't see that much of him or really know anything about him. However, Jo was the main core of the show, she and the other three girls, and it's hard to replace such a strong cast member with a total stranger. It'd be totally unbelievable in my opinion.
Either way, I don't think another reunion movie will be dreamt up anywhere in the near future...

OKay, you get with the times...Like KS said Rick wasnt a main character. Nancy Mckeon played Jo from the second she started on the show. And for us true Facts of Life fans it just wouldn't be the same. Nancy Mckeon IS Jo and no one can replace her...That's like having a Cosby Show reunion and replacing Clair (Phylicia Rashadwho played the mother) with someone else. Mindy, Lisa, Nancy, Charlotte, and Kim made up The Facts of Life - they were the stars of the show, and no one can replace any of them. sooo yeaaaaa

GOOO LAUREN!! lol...anyways, I agree...

As much as I don't apreciate Nancy's attitude toward FOL...No replacement...have you ever seen the Brady bunch reunions?? They replaced some cast members, although, m ost of the time it was because the original actors/actresses had passed away, but, occasionally it wasn't...annnnnnd, it's REALLY different...it's just not..THE BRADY BUNCH...well, that's kinda like what it would do to FOL..besides, if any actress in their right mind was offered the job, they wouldn't dare take it, because they would know good and well that they'd be ridiculed and gossiped about, and just, generally...killed by all the Jo fans...just like, if they ever get anyone to replace Mrs. Garrett I'll be going up/over/down, wherever they are...and kick their @$$e$!!! ALL OF THEM!!

No one could ever replace Jo Polniaczek, except for Nancy McKeon. She was a main character, and so many people Idolize her for just playing her character on The Facts of Life. If people see Jo has been replaced it wouldn't get any attention. Playing another reunion would be another bad idea, because many of the actors and actresses wouldn't participate, and they would decline, only to move on with there lives, and forget about their past. Changing a major part of the show can wreck the shows apearence, and we want to keep Jo Polniaczek just the way she always was.

You know what I think they should do if they ever do another reunion and want Jo on there they should find someone who looks almost identical to Nancy and use her kind of like they did with Lily and Rose on As the world turns (if you don't watch that I'll tell you about that) Lily and Rose are twins (Rose's charactor just started) and someone other then the main person that plays Lily plays Rose and you don't notice that it's a different person because they make them two look so alike and really they almost look identical so you don't know that there played by 2 different people (I know this because they talked about it on Soapnet) and I think that is what they should do with Jo and then nobody would know it wasn't Nancy. Even though Nancy would probably not like that because that wouldn't help her shake her porblem with getting type cast.

You're right, she probably wouldn't like it. Also, Lily and Rose are characters on a soap opera. Soap opera characters are replaced ALLLLLL the time. But w/e I think they just shouldn't have a reunion....

1-Neve Campbell
2-Valerie Bernatillie
3-Winona Ryder
4-Singer Sheryl Crowe
