CHARLES IN CHARGE
Nicole Eggert as Jamie
Powell (1985 - 1990)
WHAT'S
THE STORY?
Genre: Comedy
Nicole doesn't appear in the first
season (since 1984), but from the second to the end (1985-1990). The
first family was the Pembrokes that left the house to the Powell
since 1985.
When Charles in Charge returned
to the air as a first-run syndicated series in early 1987, only
Charles and Buddy were left from the original cast. The Pembrokes had
moved to Seattle and sold their house to the Powells, who became
Charles' new employers. The man of the house was not Mr. Powell, a
Navy commander stationed in the South Seas, but his cranky father
Walter, himself a retired career Navy man. Also in the houser were
Walter's daughter-in-law Ellen, and his three grandchildren, Jamie
(14), Sarah (13), and Adam (12). Jamie was much more outgoing,
worldly, and boy-crazy than her younger sister and seemed to be
forever preoccupied with getting Sarah out of her shell, while SArah
was moving at a much slower, but for her more comfortable, pace.
Rambunctious Adam could have been a clone of Jason Pembroke.
That fall Charles' loving mother, Lillian, came from Scranton for a
short visit. She bought his favorite hangout, Sid's Pizza Parlor, and
took up permanent residence in New Brunswick. Not only did he have to
deal with her good-natured medling, but picking up girls at Sid's,
when she was there, was not what it used to be.
During the 1988-1989 season, Lillian converted the pizza parlor to a
nostalgic diner named The Yesterday Cafe, her hip young nephew,
Anthony, came to live with her for awhile, and Charles was involved
with sexy Stephanie--his most serious romance since Gwendolyn. In the
last original episode, which aired in December 1990, Charles was
accepted to graduate school at Princeton.
