Empty Nest / Golden Girls SAME SETS/ACTORS

[Henny11]

I just love seeing some of the same actors and set pieces used in The Golden Girls in Empty Nest episodes. You don't pay attention to that stuff when you're younger. One of the first things I caught on to as far as using the same sets was that Carole's apartment - before she moved in with dad - was also Mel Bushman's apartment in the GG episode where Blanche thinks he's dead so they let themselves into his house and then he shows up. Anyone else notice? And then, of course, in the first Hallmark Empty Nest marathon alone, I noticed Harold Gould (the GG's Miles) played Harry's dad in 'Empty Nest'. And the actress who played Blanche's daughter Rebecca on the GG's was in the EN episode where they show a day in the life of a patient. And lastly, the actress who played Rose's daughter Kirsten played the women that both Harry and Charley were dating on EN. I know, I'm lame but it was so much fun to see familiar faces and places.

I agree! I love seeing the same actors take on different rolls on the two shows! Golden Girls is my all time favorite! Empty Nest is right behind them! These are two great classic shows!

I know, I have been pleasantly surprised at how 'Empty Nest' is making me feel just as giddy as 'The Golden Girls'. Now if only Hallmark can put it in a better timeslot!
