 Today we're bringing back the nine days with your sister-sister question. So take out those rib jeans, some plaid, and your favorite hat. Wait, aren't those all back in style again? Seeing Sister-Sister on again, it brings back so many memories. I love hearing from you guys who are fans then and from a whole new generation watching for the first time. It seems like a lot of you guys are watching with your kids. So let me know in the comments below. Your questions take me right back to all of the amazing moments I got to share with my sister, Tia, and the whole Sister-Sister cast. Let's get this Q and A started. Priceless Ambition7 asks, how did you guys get on the show in the first place? All right, so fun fact, my sister and I got on the show in the first place because of my brother actually. My brother was doing this show called Out on Night with Patti LaBelle and Morris Chestnut. I think like a fox. We used to always visit that set. The executive producer on that show recognized that my brother had other siblings and she loved that we were twins, met with us and said, you girls need to be on TV. We basically thought of a really cool idea. My sister and I loved Sweet Valley High and we loved Parent Trap. So we wanted to do something like that. We met with an amazing writer named Kim Bass. He's the one who actually created the show that you guys watched over 20 years ago. Ooh, can't believe I'm saying that. And the newer generation, the show that you're watching right now. Once we got the script, we then went to different networks. At that time, there was only like ABC, CBS, Fox and let's see, NBC. And we went to each of those networks to present the idea for Sister-Sister and funny story, every single network pretty much turned it down. And my sister-in-law like, oh no, I guess this is it. Except for ABC. What was funny is, is my sister and I, we'd never, we did, you know, some things before commercials, did some guest spots on some television shows like Dangerous Women back in the day, Full House, some commercials, but we never had a regular role on a sitcom. So ABC was definitely making, or taking a risk with my sister and I. We did a pilot first, which was more like a presentation. And when I saw it, I was like, oh God, I was really surprised it even got picked up. Nothing but God. We definitely needed some acting classes. Teeny Jeannie asks, did you and your sister get to choose whether you wanted to portray the studious responsible twin or the carefree party twin or were those roles assigned to you? We actually did get to choose. Dana, what are you doing? Yeah. Sorry. We actually did get to choose if my memory is correct. It was, it was so long ago. I don't, oh Lord, I hope my memory is okay. Back in the day, Tia was actually the more studious one I think. And I was definitely the, I would say like, maybe not mischievous. I wasn't as mischievous as Tamara Campbell was. I did become mischievous as I got older, like once I turned 23. I definitely was boy crazy at a very young age. And I can see it happening in my daughter right now. And I'm like, oh God, she's only five. But I turned out okay. So I just wanted to first say, watch this sister on Netflix for the first time. Hi, Lauren Milburn. Julie G288 asked, were you and Tia like the characters you played on the show or not really? How are you alike and different from your characters? I feel like we have a bit of like now, a bit of both of the characters within us. I think at that time, Tia was definitely the studious one. And I was a little bit more of the mischievous one, meaning I was boy crazy. I had a lot more energy. But as we got older, I feel like the roles kind of would switch. It was interesting. Like every five years we'd like switch. I would be the studious one. Tia would be the more outgoing one. Then Tia would be the studious one. Or did I just say that? Or I would be the mis, yeah. Oh hell, I forgot what I said. I feel like right now, I think we embody both of the characters. Like we both know when to be really studious and when to be very focused and work related. And when to kind of let go and just kind of have fun. Contrary to some people's belief, when I was on the Rio, I was very like do, do, do, do. No, that's not, that's not, that is not me. And I remember people, my family members, they would be like, why do people think you're so like uptight? I'm actually not. And as the girls got to know throughout the years, I'm a good time, I have fun. Okay, so I noticed there's some theme questions for many of you about romance on the show. Court knee, I think we should do that. She asked, did you ever have a crush on one of the guest stars? Um, yeah, Brandon Adams. I had the biggest crush on Brandon Adams. Jason Weaver, I had the biggest crush on, oh, Deon Richmond, the guy who played my boyfriend on the show. I think I had like a little crush. I think that's the reason why our chemistry was so great. There you go, inside. Maybe all the exclusive. Let's keep the romance theme going. Do you wish Lisa and Rae'd end up together? Yes! I like want a reboot just so we can see that maybe they got together. I wanted them to get together. That would have been perfect. Maybe it was just so like on the nose if they did or cliche. I don't know why they never did, but I think they would have made a great couple. Coco's pug life says, why did you never kiss your boyfriends in the show? The fact that you even recognize that, that is so true. Because back in the day, we were prude. I'm just gonna call it like it is. We were so prude. I didn't want to. I just, I did not want to. I was like, this, I don't even know that person. I don't, we don't wanna, that was my reasoning. I can't speak for Tia, but I know I was prude. Let's just say that. So, so many of you asked this question. What was your favorite episode and why? I had so many. We did over 100 episodes, but my favorite episode that I can remember was when I crashed the car. I think that was either the second or third episode of the first season. I don't know. I think it was because I was learning to drive at that time. I thought I was something. And it was just so much fun. I really got to play into my mischievous character. And the other one was when Brittany Murphy actually was in the episode and we were smoking cigarettes. I just loved, loved, loved the message. In the episode about peer pressure, about doing things that you probably shouldn't be doing, but we kind of explained why, you know, the characters felt the need to try something that they knew they shouldn't have been doing. So those two are my favorite episodes. And the cigarettes that we were using, I think I thought I was like a really cool actress because I got to pretend I was smoking and it was just like this little contraption that obviously wasn't a real cigarette, but I thought I was something doing this. Fun fact, I don't know how much fun this is, but I did smoke at one point in my life. I was a social smoker. I do, a lot of people can't believe that. Told you I was a little mischievous. I was a social smoker. I don't know who I thought I was, but like whenever I would drink or go out with my friends, that's when I would do it. And I quit on my own. I was like, this doesn't make me feel good. It makes my breath stink. And I don't feel healthy. My chest was always like, so you will never see me pick up a cigarette, ever again. All right, Tanya Michelle Brown asked, was it hard to memorize lines? No, when you're that young, your memory's like that. Now I am like, Jesus, Lord, help me. Oh my Lord, oh my Lord. But when you're doing a sitcom, you practice it every day. So it's like repetition. It's kind of like listening to your favorite song for four days in a row. Eventually you'll like, you'll naturally get it. LaLaLove 2012 said, do you still quote the show? If so, what's your favorite? My favorite quote, the answer is yes, is when Tia and Tamara went to a concert to see Cold Dog. And actually I've seen Flex years after, and we still say the same thing. It's, you walk at that doe don't come back, no mo. That is my favorite line of all sister, sister, other than that girl has my face. I love, twin booty is a thing of beauty. Write that down, somebody. Those are my favorite lines. Once again, you walk at that doe don't come back, no mo. And then Tamara Campbell says, it's Doria moron. Oh wait, there's more, I'm thinking more. Go home, Roger. That one everyone wants us to repeat. Go home, Roger. Passion believer 29 says, could you please, Tamara say all righty again? Okay, I have to say the fact that you guys still like me saying that is hysterical to me. So Ace Ventura was one of my favorite movies back in the day, and Jim Carrey was one of my favorites. You're a true Jim Carrey fan. If you watched him in, and live in color, you can do what you wanna do, in live in color, in live in color. Anyways, I just dated myself. Well, he was on there, and I was a huge fan when he was Fire Marshal Bill, and he would say, Edna pan Edna. I used to always imitate him. So I used to always imitate Jim Carrey around the house when Ace Ventura came out. So of course, I'll do it for you. All righty then. Ophelia GMC, can you just say, oh man again? Oh my God, I die every time. I'm in the part when you're dating Jordan. Oh, I still say that. Jantheana1, did you guys have any embarrassing moments in an episode, and if yes, what episode? Oh my gosh, I can't believe I'm gonna say this. Yes, I had an embarrassing moment. I was 15, 16. This is kind of like a lady thing. We were shooting in front of a live studio audience. I had this gorgeous skirt on. I thought it was really cute. And I had just got my menstrual. I remember sitting down on this like chest that we had in our bedroom. And it's first season and I sat down, got back up and there was, you know what? No one knew about it except for Tia. And we kind of like, oh this is so embarrassing. But I feel like every girl kind of has this moment. You kind of like, I froze because the studio audience was there, the cameramen were there, and I was 16 and you're just like embarrassed. So I remember kind of just dragging my skirt along the chest to kind of like clean it up. And I finished the scene. And of course I told, you know, our wardrobe stylist, Cece, at the time, what had happened. And she was so understanding. Obviously she's a woman and so yeah, that was really embarrassing. Camille Marie says, was your high school experience anything like what you two went through on the show? No, because ironically, we didn't really go to high school like fully. We were tutored on set. We would have to go to school on set in this trailer. Our teacher's name was Glen Woodman Z. I absolutely loved him. We had to do three hours a day and a lot of the kids once they found out that we only had to do three hours of school, they were like, lucky. We're like, no, we basically had to do all the work that all the other kids who were actually in high school within three hours. So it was a lot of work. You had to do that. And then we still had a job. We had like an adult job doing a show and being the lead on that show. So it was a lot of work. There was a lot of balance, but it really taught us the balance of work and doing other things at such a young age while you're doing it all at the same time. I hope that makes sense. Ellie S says, did you get to pick your styles of clothing for the show? All the outfits are so fun. We actually were like top 10 best dressed kid stars during that show. And it was because of CC, she was fantastic. And yes, we got to say yay or nay. I loved it. I would get so excited for our fittings every single week. And it was that way all the way up to the end. I actually have one skirt and one robe that I wore on Sister Sister and it's a theory skirt. What's so great about the brand theory is that most of their pieces are classic and I can still wear that. Well, I can wear it now. Thank God. And the robe. It was the pink robe with stars on it. Stargirl24k asked, what was a typical day on set? Fun. That was the most fun I've ever had. So much fun with a cast. Just, it was such a blessing. We wanted to make sure and we've even had some people who were guest stars on the show. We wanted to make sure that everyone's experience on that show was fun. And I think we did it. But you start with a table read, then you would practice it on its feet, kind of like read through the scene with your script. That was kind of like one of my favorites. Then you would do that Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, you would block and tape, which is basically you're blocking the scene. The cameraman will come in and throughout Monday through Wednesday, you would have the producers come in, the writers come in and you would do a run-through for them. Then Thursday you would block and kind of record so people can kind of get an idea. The producers can kind of get an idea of how the show is gonna run, if they need to change anything. And then Friday, we would shoot live in front of a studio audience. You're dressed up, Dana. That is so freaking cute. This is so effing tight. We have to take a picture, it's amazing. Okay, sorry, yarn chick ass. Where do you think all the characters would be right now? I don't wanna say anything right now about that, because who knows? Like, I wanna save that for if we possibly do a reboot. And I am praying, I'm hoping, I'm hoping, please God. That it happens, but if it's meant to be it will. Peace, love, des, the house, the life. There were so many guest appearances and musical performances. Who are your favorites? Brian McKnight, come on. He was awesome. I loved him. Aliyah, have you let your kids watch Sister, Sister, Sister? If so, what was their reaction? They freaking love it, they're obsessed with it. It's insane for me to sit there, watch my children, watch me, because I still think I'm like, it's crazy. I don't feel and think I'm as old as I am, but day. Let me know if you would like me to answer more in another episode. I know one biggie is whether we're going to do a Sister, Sister reboot. Hmm. Don't forget to subscribe to the Housely Life.
