It all started when the cast reunited for the *Live in Front of a Studio Audience* special, where they performed episodes from *Diffrent Strokes* and *Facts of Life*. The response was massive, so much so that Norman Lear, the legendary producer, got excited about a full reboot. Mindy revealed that Lear, who has since passed away, noticed the overwhelming love for the show and asked the original cast if they’d be interested in bringing it back.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the cast reconnected on Zoom, hired a writer, and even had meetings with Lear. It seemed like the stars were aligning for a revival. But then drama struck. When asked by Jeff Lewis what went wrong, Mindy didn’t hold back. She said one of her co-stars went behind everyone's back and tried to secure a spin-off deal just for herself. This betrayal, she said, shattered their 40-year-old friendship and sisterhood.
Mindy described the fallout as a "tidal wave of emotion," and when co-host Michael Hitchcock called the actress a "greedy bitch," Mindy confirmed it without hesitation. The betrayal caused a significant rift among the cast, and although they’ve started talking again, things are far from being patched up. Mindy admitted the reboot is “very dead” and that some cast members can’t move past the incident.
Now, Mindy didn’t name the castmate responsible for the drama, but she hinted that you might be able to figure it out by checking her Instagram to see who she hangs out with and who she doesn’t. Intriguing,
