The Original Different Strokes Concept was to be just starring Gary Coleman (Arnold) and Conrad Bain (Mr Drummond).
Willis and Kimberly were never supposed to be in the show. However a Housekeeper was still in the concept, except this Housekeeper was supposed to be a young, sexy playmate type housekeeper.
And the best thing was that the show was never supposed to be a serious sitcom, but yet more like Three's Company.
If this had gone down instead, this show would had be either a major hit or a major flop.

Would of liked that more, though it would of rid the world of "Whatcha talking about, Willis?", for better or worse.

Mr. Drummond would've come off as looking like a major perv in that setup. Old white man living alone with a black midget kid and a sexy housekeeper. Sounds like a bad porno.

But if the maid was some young sexy thing and not an old battle axe, we wouldn't have gotten The Facts of Life as a spin-off.
Man, they really should have went with the sexy maid.

Would of liked that more, though it would of rid the world of "Whatcha talking about, Willis?", for better or worse. Imagine if he still said it, but Willis was never around. Then, at the end of the show's run, it turns out Arnold was talking to his dead brother Willis. |

It's ok, Dudley would've still been molested by the WKRP guy, and his other friend would've tried drugs.

Kimberley was very attractive.
It's such a shame she turned into a drug fiend and died.
