Yeah they did a pretty good job casting the new kids honestly. Only thing I don’t like is the leia kelso dating storyline felt rushed. I hate that things are only 10 episodes these days, completely kills proper character and relationship building. This joint should be a 2 part season 1 with 10 more episodes by summer. So over stupid short seasons.
I’m sure they’re gonna be on and off like Eric & Donna. They got together first episode of 70s show
Leia and Jay not knowing each other also means that Eric & Donna didn't keep in touch or ever visit Michael & Jackie
They kept stealing each others girls when they were younger they decided to cut each other off once they settled down
The new kids aren’t direct copies and actually are a mix of multiple characters of the OG show but the characters I think they align with the most based on the roles they fill
Leia —> Eric
Jay —> Donna
Gwen —> Hyde
Nate —> Kelso
Ozzie —> Fez
Nikki —> Jackie
Sherri —> Bob
My favorite new characters Leia, Gwen, & Sherri. Red & Kitty still great and seeing all the old characters come back were highlights. I hope Bob comes back more since he is her grandpa too. It’d bring a fun dynamic of him raising Leia vs Red
I think all the guy characters need some more work coming into their own and Nikki got the least chance to shine
Also did Gwen & Nikki smash? When they were talking about how they “had fun twice” the night before and weren’t gonna tell anyone
