Was that Freddie?! Wow she looks different.

Intense1920 07-15-2006 01:40 PM

WOW! Lisa is kind of scary looking.

2Tuff2Quit 07-15-2006 05:18 PM

I know! They all look so much different. Ron still looks about the same though. Freddie kind of looks like the Diana Ross's daughter (the one from Girlfriends).

DSTinguished1 07-15-2006 06:55 PM

wow she looks exactly like "Joan" Tracee Ellis Ross ;)
I missed it did anyone watch it?

I thought so, too. And it looks like she has really lost weight.

When I first looked at the picture I was like " I don't remember Tracy Ross being on the show" Then I realized that was Cree

I had the same thoughts. Lisa Bonet looks bad.

f8nacn 07-15-2006 11:26 PM

Same here...they look like sisters...

I thought the same thing when I first saw the pic. Did anyone read the comments on that page. Some of them was funny as hayle. (LOL) I was wondering what happened between Kadeeem Hardison and Chante Moore. I know they dated for a long time and eventually got married and had a child then the next thing I know she was divorced and married to Kenny Lattimore. Anyway back on topic, most of them look kind of rough. I actually think Dawnn Lewis looks better since she left the show. She looked pretty decent on Girfriends. And just where was Miss Jada?

MsDelta797 07-16-2006 11:10 AM

I feel the same way about Dawnn Lewis, she seems to be the only one that looks pretty good. I would like to know what happened to Kim( I forgot her real name)?

I think it's Charlene Jones or something like that. I know that she has done appearances on other shows, like Living Single and Girlfriends, but she hasn't really done anything since DW. She needs to try and get in on one of those stageplays so she can make some money.

f8nacn 07-16-2006 12:01 PM

So is this going to air on TV because we don't know what they are doing now...all we saw were pictures....

Charnele Brown.

Yeah, I actually ran into her at a hair salon in Atlanta, and she looked really good. She had lost a lot of weight, and actually looked younger than before.

I co-sign on the Cree Summer/Tracey Ellis Ross piece. That isht is scary.

Finally, I know Jasmine Guy hasn't aged as well as we would have hoped, but I'm just always gonna love her...so I can't even say anything bad.

Where was Charnele Brown (Kim), Glenn Thurman (Col. Taylor), Mr Gaines??? It's not like these folks are working and too busy to come through.

"Mr. Gaines" is playing the role of Mr.'s father in The Color Purple play. :D :cool:

ETA: Cree and Tracee can definitely pass for sisters. Wow.

OMG this person made me lmaaaaaaaaaaaaaaao!!!!!

Question: Are Lisa Bonet & Cree Summers Vegans???

If so, Wow….
Cause all Vegans look like they are about to die any minute.

..You know like they are looking like they are lacking protein & vitamins, e.g Brandy…

There’s a reason why the Lord wants us to eat MEAT, but I digress

Especially the one that said Lisa Bonet looked like she was in Pirates of the Caribbean.

Just because we don't see them in front of the camera doesn't mean they're not working. ;)

jojapeach 07-20-2006 12:26 AM

@ ladylike: You took the words outta my mouth.

That's a doggone shame that they look like that. What are some of them doing with those syndication royalty checks, which are getting larger thanks to Nick at Nite?

Maybe Cree Summer is planning to make a guest appearance on Girlfriends as Joan's long lost half-sister. It looked Diana just spit her out! You would think that Cree's "gift" for doing children's voices in cartoons would keep her looking just as young as ever. Another theory gone straight to hell.

FeeFee 07-20-2006 11:21 AM

Does anyone know how old the cast members actually were when the show first aired? It doesn't make sense that so many of them look old.

Now do they truly look "old"? And when we say "old", how old are we talking?
Dawn looks the same to me and so does Debbie.
However, Lisa Bonet, Jasmine Guy and Cree Summer look "old"---or maybe haggard would be a better word. Sinbad looks pretty much the same and if you toss a hot and bifocals on Ron, he pretty much looks the same.
Kadeem Hardison falls under the "bless his heart" catergory. :o

ETA: The show premiered September 1987
Well...dang. LOL

They looked a HOT MESS, tattered, to' up from the flo' up...just wrong.

I guess I was just surprised that they were so wrinkled.

BlessedOne04 07-20-2006 09:52 PM

Cree Summer looks a hot mess!!! Isn't she Lisa Bonet's sister? I wasn't even looking for the newer folks like Jada, Charmaine (don't know her real name) because they were not at the core of the shows success in my mind.

PHP Code:

Actor                   Age at Debut                          Age Now
Jasmine Guy                23                                         42
Kadeem Hardison            22                                         41 
Cree Summer                18                                         37
Lisa Bonet                 19                                         38
Sinbad                     31                                         50
Dawnn Lewis                25                                         44
Darry Bell                 24                                         43 

I actually always thought that Jasmine Guy was much older than the rest of the characters. There was something about her hair and make-up that made me think she looked like she was in her late twenties while the others were in their teens and early twenties. Late in the series, when they changed her hair and make-up, made it softer, I thought she looked younger.

I know, I have way too much time on my hands.

How come these 2 aren't the same age now, if they were the same age then?

Subtraction mistake. Thanks for pointing it out. It has all been fixed.

Is anyone watching the "Hillman College Reunion" on Nick-a-Nite. The clips between the shows are too funny. It shows their characters as they would be today. :D

I was just coming to post about this! :D

HC after all these years, I am sitting here and thinking about Whitley....? I think that the hair in her mullet-type hairstyle was a weave. For nearly twenty years, I never gave it a second thought, but tonight, I realized that I may have been fooled by a clip-on for all these years.

ETA: Now that I look at it, it looks like it could be hers. At one point in this episode, the pony was looking kinda phony....

Rudy gets on my nerves. Considering that we virtually grew up together, I never gave it much thought. But now, I realize that she is kinda disgusting and I don't know if I would have made it with a little sister like her.

I know. Doesn't it seem like she always wined about something?:confused: And, do you remember when Vanessa had that big a$$ afro like GUMBY upside her head?:eek: But, those were the good old days...

treblk 08-29-2006 08:59 AM

Aww man I missed it. Does anyone know if they will air it again? :(

Little clips of the cast members will be shown all week long.

kiml122 08-29-2006 01:34 PM

Yup, I watched it, and it was nice to see the folks as they are now. Also I was on the Nick at Nite website last night, and they are suppose to have interviews from the reunion cast today on the site.

Good, 'cause I didn't see anything last night when I went online. Just cast info (as they were then).

I actually thought Cree looked better in the clips last night than she did in these pics from their gathering earlier.

jojapeach 08-29-2006 02:13 PM

I went to the gym, taped (no TIVO) all 2 hours, then fast forwarded to each clip. They were enjoyable! It's not the same as a two hour reunion show, but I'm glad Nick At Nite gave us an update on our favorite characters. I'll be watching the online interviews, too.

@ btb87: Jasmine Guy looked better, too.

mccoyred 08-30-2006 07:42 AM

I normally don't watch Nick at Nite but I have been enjoying the DW episodes all week. Boy, those were the days!
