Blair is wealthier than ever, after building a hotel empire with her husband, Tad. But she suspects he is having an affair. "Tootie," now preferring to be called by her real name, Dorothy, has forsaken her acting hopes to host her own talk show. Natalie is a dedicated TV news producer, juggling an active love life with a frenetic work schedule that takes her all over the world. Jo, ever the free spirit, is a devoted cop, wife and mother.

A Grin A Minute

I loved it. For me, "The Facts of Life" was little more than "The Lisa Whelchel Show," but this was a wonderful look back at a series I really loved. I really missed Jo, Nancy, Sue Anne, Pippa and the rest, but the few cast members really made this like old times. The plot was as whimsical as the series, even with "Psi Factor's" Barclay Hope, and even Blair back to being Blair (she hasn't aged a day in my book) and even Tootie and Natalie are irresistable. Thanks for the memories !
