Living
on social security the Jefferson’s
had to fire their maid Florence
Johnston (Marla Gibbs) and move
into their new apartment at
"227". As you may
know 227 was the show Marla
Gibbs moved onto after the original
run of the Jefferson’s
ended.
Gibbs will remain on the show
as her 227 character Mary Jenkins
and Hal Williams will return
as Mary’s husband Lester
Jenkins.
Other returning characters include
Regina King who played Brenda
Jenkins, Curtis Baldwin who
played Brenda‘s boyfriend
Calvin Dobbs and yes…
Jackee’ will be returning
to play that sexy devil Sandra
Clark.
To add a little flavor to the
show Lenny Kravitz will be playing
a wild rocker that lives next
door to the Jefferson’s.
His character (Dreads Willis)
coincidentally will be the son
of The Jefferson’s old
Neighbors Helen and Tom Willis.
The late Roxie Roker who played
Helen Willis was the real life
mother of Lenny Kravitz.
When asked why he agreed to
do this show Kravitz said, "It’s
like ya know man, I’m
paying a homage to my momma
who always said her life was
all about The Jefferson’s.
I plan to incorporate some of
her style and flair to my character,
Dreads. Of course Dreads will
be a little goofy like his Poppa
Tom."
The writers plan on having Dreads
and Sandra Clark (Jackee’)
get married mid season. Jackee’
says of this soon to be union,
"Well, I hope that little
man knows that you can’t
just tie Sandra down, Sandra
does the tying baby. Any man
who even sees her automatically
wants her and I hope that Dreads
can handle that; I doubt he
can. It will make things very
interesting though."
The Jefferson’s will be
airing Thursday nights at 9pm
on NBC.
