Post Kimberly

Would you have liked to see Dana Plato (Kimberly) join the FOL cast? Or was it better for her to stay on D.F.?

I guess so. Anyhow, there was already a rich kid in Blair.

In FOL, we had the rich snobby kid in Blair, the tomboy Jo, the clown in Nat, and the whiner in Tootie. What would Kimberly be?

But yeah, she ROCKED on DS!

actually, she'd be the mediator whenever Jo and Blair get into disputes, seeing that she's normally calm. However that's why Mrs. G was there.

I think it was good she stayed on Diff'rent
Strokes, but I think they could have used her
in episodes of the Facts Of Life.

Kimberly should of made more guest appearances instead of gary and todd and also should of been included in the little chill episode, since she was the catalyst for the spinoff in the firsrt place!. She was still attending eastland and the other girls would guest star as friends of kimberly on DS in a few episodes. She was rich but would of made a good mediater for blair and jo since she could relate to both.

I'm not sure....that's why I figured she'd do better hanging out with the first season girls who disappeared later than with Jo, Blair, Natalie and Tootie (the perfect set of 4).

She wouldn't have been in "The Little Chill" because the producers at DS had fired her and DS was on a diff'rent network at that time.

Where the shows on seperate networks at the time when Mr.Drummond married Maggie? Cause Charlotte Rae appeared on that D.S. episode as Mrs.Garrett.
