Yes, I think they did a nice job of combining Maggie and Vicki. Because, imo, that is really what needed to be done. Vicki was the catalyst for the show, but Maggie was the one who resembled Josette (and actually became wildly popular for that). But since her name is Vicki, I'd rather she be an orphan. We will see...
Oh, and I am not promising anything, but I have sent some feelers out in Hollywood. I know someone who knows people who have worked on the film (Yeah... that sounds legitimate, right?) and she is going to see if she can get any info from them. Hopefully it pans out. If it does, that will be great. If not... at least I tried.
