Jess Merriweather/Jurnee Smollett Appreciation Thread #1

Jurnee will play Jess, the daughter of a onetime NFL hopeful who knows the game and helps raise her siblings with the help of her father. She knows the game inside and out. When she’s not busy coaching her younger brothers, this sophomore/junior is getting crushed on by every guy in Dillon, East and West.

I remember her from Full House. She looks a bit different now.

So pretty.

Thanks for the thread.

Please add me.

***Enigma*** · 10-27-2009, 07:55 PM

You're welcome.

Of course.

Like everyone else I find it a bit hard to welcome new characters into the show, but FNL always has great casting taste. I love Jurnee. She is beautiful and a really great actress.

I hope I will like the character of Jess.

**colorful_dust** · 10-27-2009, 08:02 PM

Thank you.

I hope I like her too. She sounds interesting and different from the other girls on the show.

***Enigma*** · 10-27-2009, 08:10 PM

You're welcome.

She does sound different from the other girls on the show. I'm excited for her character.

**colorful_dust** · 10-27-2009, 08:24 PM

Yep. It'll be cool to see a girl knowing all about football and stuff.

metal heart · 10-27-2009, 08:40 PM

***Enigma*** · 10-27-2009, 08:42 PM

Lexi

I hope we see a friendship with her and Julie too.

**colorful_dust** · 10-27-2009, 08:52 PM

Awe, I'd like that. I wonder what grade she's supposed to be in.

***Enigma*** · 10-27-2009, 09:04 PM

Yeah, I noticed the description said sophomore or junior............not sure if they've made it clear one way or the other yet. Both the guys are juniors.
