Back in the first year or so of the show, there were a few other "regulars", and I like a couple of them more than the eventual "core" 4. One was played by a really young Molly Ringwald and the other was a long haired blond whose name I don't recall.

Some of that initial core cast (Lisa Whelchel, Julie Piekarski) came from the cast of the New Mickey Mouse Club that had debuted a year or so earlier.

If I recall correctly this was a spin-off of Different Strokes. Kimberly attended the school for a while or something.

 

Mrs. Garrett was the Drumond's original housekeeper before they spun her into working as the housemother at the school on Facts of Life.

A little further research...

Back then I thought any one of Molly (Ringwald), Nancy (brunette), Sue Ann :wub: , or Cindy (tomboy) >>> any one of Blair, Jo, Tootie, or Natalie.

 

It had amazed and disappointed me that the worst four were retained, but I guess given the popularity they attained, what did I know.

After searching Nell Carter on Yahoo I got tons of results stating that she was a bi-sexual. :huh:

 

That actually means that she's so fat...having sex with her is like having sex with two people.

 

 

ZING!!!

She died of a heart attack due to complications with diabetes about 5 years ago, by the way, so you're making fun of a dead person. :P

You know, Tex, it comes to my attention that you're not doing very well in the Soxtalk's Biggest Loser campaign...

 

You've still lost a whopping ZERO pounds.

If this plan involves drinking less beer, it's a failure.
