I read the article too and am totally shocked! Lisa said that they have talked Nancy into doing the cameo in the coffin. Nancy what is wrong with you. When I watch the Facts of Life and look at Jo I don't want to think "That poor girl is going to die 17 years from that date" At least Jo has made accomplishments. The one thing that I want to know her husband the Rock Star going to be on the movie or will she have kids? A lot will have happened within the 13 years. Will Beverly Ann be written in. Another good question is: will Jo have have any lines B4 she is killed off? I assume that Tootie is coming back too. At least we'll have them all back together, even if it is focused around one's death.

Nancy McKeon did herself. I assume Beverly Ann Stickle will be in as a guest star for the first few episodes, and no, Kim Fields will not be playing tootie. If you were paying attention, your eye would have got caught in this: "Kim Fields will most likely not be in the reunion, hoping to break free from her cutesy image." Welchel said in an Early October interview.

My friend Jenny is obsessed with FOL and she told me that in one of those entertainment magazines the producer of the reunion thing is seriously thinking about a motorcycle accident.

Yes I read that part. However with all the talk about Jo, it seemed like Kim was unsure at first but then might have made a decison to.

Thank you for giving this news.Now I will make absolutely sure to miss the reunion film!Jo is going to die?To put it simply- that stinks!

daisygirlee · 11-01-2000, 03:09 AM

I can't beleive they would kill off jo. Dont they want high ratings? I can't beleive some ideas they come up with. I'll still watch it becasue i adore facts of life, but i wont be that excited.

ToddAO70 · 11-01-2000, 10:27 PM

I heard it was mostly Nancy's idea that her character be killed off. It seems she is really trying to distance herself from her most notable role so she can move on to other things (especially her directing career).
