Plot Differences[]

The series differences start off with rewriting the series to focus on the Greek Culture and Modern Settings, but at the same time the series has many differences:

  • First off the Characters names Dorothy became Dora, Sophia was rewritten to Sofia, Rose became Fifi and Blanche became Bella.
  • Also the Character of Coco was kept for most the whole series, his name is now Gerry, he works as a Driver as well and after Sofia comes to stay they use Bunk Beds.
  • Dora calls Sofia Mama rather than Ma.
  • Blanche has the house blessed after the break in.
  • Blanche's sister Virginia was added into the first series after The Transplant episode in one she's Fifi's Partner in the Bowling Contest briefly before she is dumped for Sofia, she's present at Big Daddy's debut as a singer and after her date stood her up she realised he died in Fifi's bed.
  • Also there was a character called Katia, she was close to all the girls but only appeared in three episodes.
  • Fifi is skilled at Greek Dancing and her Traditional Background has her looking after a Goat while hiding it from Bella, Dora and Sofia.
