Jackie would definitely demand Donna help her get her non-Eric Hyde back. I wonder how long Hyde could keep up the facade, though.

This would be one interesting scenario.

MistyMountainHop

Maybe Donna would tell Jackie to do what she's doing with Eric, encourage Hyde to keep up the Eric-ness. That would be a proper punishment, but Jackie might not have the stomach for it.

I can't see Jackie having the stomach for it!

MistyMountainHop

No, she wouldn't. She'd tell Donna that pretending to like Hyde's Eric-y-ness would be prolonging her own punishment.

This would all be so interesting to watch.

This is an episode we should've gotten in S7. Instead of manipulating the characters to serve plot, give us something that's both funny and characterizing.

msstock87

We have so many better ideas than the writers at times.

MistyMountainHop

Soooo many.

So if Pam and Bob had actually gotten married, Jackie and Donna would've become stepsisters. And once Jackie and Donna married Hyde and Eric, they'd also be sister-in-laws. Neither of them would have ever expected to become the other's sister in any capacity.

msstock87

That would be interesting for sure. I am glad Pam and Bob didn't get married though!

MistyMountainHop

Me, too. I feel bad for Joanne when Bob says, "I will have my pretty lady!" It implies he didn't think Joanne was pretty or attractive, which I don't believe. It's yet another character regression due to an actor (and character) no longer being part of the show.

msstock87

I hated that he said that too. Joanne was the perfect fit for him.

MistyMountainHop

She was. She challenged him to grow and change, and he did. He grew up with her and dropped so much of his chauvinism. It was such a missed opportunity and mistake not to have at least one episode featuring Donna and Joanne together -- and Donna acknowledging the positive changes Joanne's presence made in Bob's life.

I would have loved an episode like that too, I also wouldn't mind seeing Joanne interact with Jackie a little more too. They did live together for awhile.
