Season 2 Premiere Episode Info, 9/23 - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Pavan · 09-08-2003, 03:40 PM

On the season premiere episode, "Premiere," Bridget finds her popularity waning because of her exclusive, long distance relationship with Donny (Thad Luckinbill, "The Young and the Restless"), while Kerry's social status skyrockets because of her relationship with Kyle. But Bridget's eyes begin to stray when she meets Damian (Paul Wasilewski) - a sexy new kid at school. Meanwhile, as she waits for the results of her pregnancy test, Cate is stunned when Paul, Bridget, Kerry and Rory seem more concerned about how the baby could disrupt their lives than the blessed event itself. In fact, the only support Cate seems to be getting is from her nosy neighbors, the Doyles (John Ratzenberger, "Cheers," "Finding Nemo"; and Cindy Williams, "Laverne & Shirley"), who share a well-kept secret about their own family, on "8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter," on TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 23 at 8:00 p.m.-8:30 p.m. ET/PT.

No idea. Maybe she was busy or didn't want to do more episodes. So far The Doyles are scheduled for "Premiere" and "Donny Goes AWOL."
