Yep, whatever they do, they'll always be "Jo, Blair, Natalie, and Tootie. Together Again!" Sorry, that's just me reciting lines again....

If the show had only run for a few seasons, then people wouldn't have remembered so easily. However, it ran long, was popular and enjoyable so people will long remember the likes of Blair, Jo, Natalie and Tootie. This is the downside of popularity because typecasting occurs.

Lisa will always be, well,...Lisa to me. Especially after I meet her. She was never Blair. She played Blair, but was never Blair. Anyone get what I'm trying to say?

I GET IT!!!! Like, whenever I watch FOL.....sometimes, I'll think, That's Charlotte, but then I'll be like, wait...no...it's Mrs. Garrett........I think there's a fine line though.

Ummm ya I guess. If I see them on tv or something I just think "FOL" Except with Nancy. For a while I always thought of her as Jo, but not since the Division(especially b/c it's been on for over a year now) I see her a little more as Jinny, but when I see Nancy, I think Nancy....Get it?

i'll always see lisa, mindy, and kim as blair, natalie, and tootie. nancy is a different story. even tho i always see a little jo in her...her role as jinny on the division is soooo different from jo. so to me..nancy's a mix between the 2.

Gingerly drip down a lover’s face
Cry for hours and weeks on end
And never feel a bit out of place
And it can feed a field, put out a fire
And never feel the pain
I wish I were the rain
I wish I were the rain
I wish I were the rain
Oh Yeah, I wish I were the rain

Well, If I ever see them, Nancy will be Jo, Kim will be Kim, Mindy will be Mindy, and, well, I've read 2 of Lisa's books, and I see another side, so she'd be Lisa! Are you as confused as I am? No I'm not. Wait, If I just said are you as confused as I am, I can't say I'm not confused or can I? Wait, No, well, yes, wait, oh help!

I know Kim most as Regine from Living Single so she'll first be known as that character to me, then it's Tootie.
