Dunno, but I have my own Drew Carey Show question. I saw my first new episode in a long time, and I see that Mimi no longer slathers her face in make up. What happened? Was it on amicable terms? ---

She had an allergic reaction to the make-up she was constantly made to wear. I guess after a while it was taking out her eyelids or something. I doubt it was amicable. Probably swelly. ---

The obvious reason for losing the charcter was probably that the actor who played Kate got tired, or wanted to move onto bigger and better things… Anyways, Drew Ended up marrying Nicki and Kate at the same time, and they both did not realise Drews stupid move. Drew got the news from both girls that they loved him, so in his stupor he agreed to marry them both so he did not hurt their feelings. In the end when they found out, they did some sort of prank on him to really freak him out…something to do with his car and running over a doll of one of them…or something. Both were very distraught at what he did, and left him for good. Sorry, I cant clear that up a bit. Its been a while since I’ve seen it. And double sorry because I cant remember where the new girl came from either.:smack: ---

She married some guy and left town or something like that. I guess Christa Miller moved on from the Drew Carey Show to Scrubs… ---

Christa Miller got pregnant (just like her character on Scrubs) and left the show to have her baby. Fun fact, she’s married to Scrubs creator Bill Lawrence. ---

Personally, I would have had her character be shot down over the Sea of Japan. It would have been fairer to the fans. ---

**Ranchoth** - I dont’ see why she can’t be shot down over the Sea of Japan on Scrubs. I like the way you think. Any change you’ll go into TV? ---

So how DOES that new friend fit in? AND, Why did Drew decide he HAD to get married? For a while, I wasn’t getting ABC at my house, so I didn’t watch the show for a couple of years. Just started again about a month ago, and we were a tad confused about what was going on. Sorry if this is a hijack. ---

See, I was highly upset over the fact that, apparently, Drew’s been in love with Kate for YEARS, and when he finally marries her, it all blows up so quick. Just once I’d like to see something nice and happy happen in terms of relationships with all characters involved. Actually, **That 70s Show** has done a damn good job of it. I just felt really sorry for Drew. Especially seeing as how the first time they were going to do it, he broke his penis. Man, talk about life grinding a lemon in your eye. ---
