Synopsis Thirteen years after the events of the original series, a widowed Mrs. Garrett is heading back to America on a cruise ship, ready for a whole new life and also looking forward to seeing "her girls" again, all of whom have grown into successful, independent women: Blair Warner is a lawyer and also owns a hotel empire (Warner Enterprises) with her husband Tad Warner, managed by Mrs. Garrett's son Raymond; Blair and Tad have no children. Dorothy "Tootie" Ramsey—now preferring to be called Dorothy—is a morning talk show host in Los Angeles and the widowed mother of 10-year-old daughter Tisha (fathered by her longtime boyfriend and later deceased husband, Jeff Williams, who was portrayed by Todd Hallowell). Natalie Green is a behind-the-scenes television news producer at CNN with an active love life and a frenetic work schedule that takes her all over the world. Jo Polniaczek is a police officer who is still married to Rick Bonner and the mother of a 12-year-old daughter Jamie.
