I only wished that the off-screen drama was cut down for their sakes. I only wish Todd and Gary best for their future. Dana Plato who is gone to a better place never did get to experience the life of Kimberly Drummond except when she was on the set. How little did we know the truth? Gary Coleman never escaped the image of the chubby cute kid on Different Strokes. Of course, there was the guest appearances of First Lady Nancy Reagan preaching against drugs. I like them both in the role as the second Mrs. I never approved of them dissing Dixie Carter for Mary Ann Mobley. Edna Garrett played by the wonderful Charlotte Rae who got her own show without all the drama of Different Strokes. Of course, he was supposed to only be acting but I think he became a paternal figure to those youngsters. Conrad Bain was great as the father figure of the show. It's sad to watch the show, I wish I didn't know Dana Plato's problems because now I see how much she wanted her life to be like Kimberly Drummond. Watching the true Hollywood story on E! about the cast of Different Strokes was heartbreaking, after all, two of the three cast members had substance abuse problems and the star, Gary Coleman, had problems with his parents that he sued them.
