Why did Willis Jackson from Different Strokes spend the Night at Eastland? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I never saw this episode bu just was wondering why Willis spent the night at Eastland and more importantly why would he be at Eastland without Kimberly, Arnold and Mr. Drummond?

I believe only Arnold spent the night. He went up to stay with his "girlfriend," Mrs. G., and was bored because all the girls went to the Chug-A-Lug bar.

This was "The New Girl" episode, where we first meet Jo.

There is a episode of Facts of Life when Willis guest stars by hisself. That episode is called "Bought and Sold". Have you seen that episode?

First of all, it's hiMself.

Second, I have the episode on tape. It guest stars Zsa Zsa Gabor as the Countess.

Why did Willis visit Mrs. Garrett by himself?

It doesn't make sense.

well isn't the facts of life kind of a spin off from different strokes?

Mrs. Garret worked for mr. drumming as like a maid/ nanny and then left mid show or late show to go and work in eastland. So if willis was over, I wouldn't think anything of it, he was probably visiting his former nanny.

Granted I'm speculating because i've never seen this episode.

i just need someone who seen this episode to tell me why willis went to eastland alone.

There was no reason. He was just there.

Good Lord

Well if you can't tell me why he was there alone, either you have not seen this episode in years or the writing was very poor. WHERE WAS ARNOLD, KIMBERLY, and MR. DRUMMOND in THAT EPISODE???

Do you live on this website?? My lord... you are on here all the time.

If you're so concerned about it, check the episode guide.

Where's my ignore button????

SOLOMON you nut.

Anyway, I've seen the episode. The reason why Willis went up there alone was probably because he was old enough to. I visit people I used to know when I was younger once I got the chance to drive. Even if he couldn't drive, he could have taken the train.

Also, maybe he went alone because he wanted to spend time with someone at the school....let's say a girl...alone.
