Everything was extremely well done and executed with class. Here, the inter racial situations mixed with poverty and social clichés were the spinal cord for the plot and even in jokes. "Diff'rent Strokes" is an important sticom in American pop culture and also paved the way for comedy shows with a social message inserted. Who would think that the main characters from a naive, tender, family show would end up meeting such fatal fates? Well, that's another story. While most series revolved around the typical lessons of growing up, some were quite serious (including a frightening encounter with a child molester and a memorable episode dealing with drug abuse guest starring First Lady Nancy Reagan). In early 1984, Drummond found true love, marrying fitness instructor Maggie McKinney she had a 6-year-old son, Sam. Arnold's friends, Dudley and Robbie (and later, Charlie) Willis' girlfriend, Charlene cast members from "The Facts of Life" and Drummond's sister, Sophia, were frequently seen. Garrett left to become housemother at the Eastland School for Girls she was replaced by the cantankerous Adelaide Brubaker and still later, charming Pearl Gallagher. Also part of the family were Drummond's beautiful daughter, 13-year-old Kimberly and his no-nonsense housekeeper, Edna Garrett. At first, Willis was rather skeptical of their newfound wealth, but eventually, both he and Arnold felt right at home in their newfound surroundings. The boys, whom Drummond always introduced as his two sons, went from rags to riches literally overnight. Drummond had made a promise to their dying mother, his housekeeper, that he would care for the boys after she passes away their father had died years earlier.
