The Facts of Life is one of the most beloved shows for Gen Xers. So much so that we have been hoping we would get a sequel. And we came close to that happening. But one of the key four sabotaged that from happening.
In 2021, ABC recreated one of The Facts of Life episodes for Live In Front Of A Studio Audience. And the response was enormous. So, Norman Lear asked Mindy Cohn, Kim Fields, Nancy McKeon, and Lisa Whelchel if they were up for doing a reboot. And they all said yes.
So what happened? Cohn told Jeff Lewis on his SiriusXM show, “There was drama.” Then she explained, “One of the girls went behind our backs and tried to make a separate deal for a spinoff just for herself and devastated the rest of us who we all, you know, I had booked Palm Royale, another girl is working. I’m just saying it was for a 40-year friendship and sisterhood, there was tidal wave of emotion around it.”
Who is it? Cohn wouldn’t name names. But she said that if you go to her Instagram, you will get the answer. That is because you will not find any recent photos of that classmate with her since their friendship will never be the same, and for a while, they weren’t talking to the mystery castmate.
I accepted that challenge, went to Cohn’s Instagram and I am shocked by who the “greedy bitch” is. All I will say is that this Survivor didn’t do Dancing with the Stars like the other two. I thought she was the nice one. I guess not.
