“I didn’t know how it would work for anybody to try to replace her,” admits Cheryl Ladd, who initially shot down Spelling’s offer to take over for Fawcett. “I mean, what a task, right?” But then he approached her again and had the “‘genius” idea to make the new role a relative of Fawcett’s Jill Munroe. “He said, ‘Why couldn’t you be Jill’s little sister and you’re already part of the family?’ I said, ‘I’m in!’ It was brilliant.”
Ladd’s eager Kris Munroe proved a perfect successor with her Season 2 bow and, in Season 3, finally got to play opposite her onscreen sis when Fawcett returned to fulfill her contract with a series of guest spots. Those appearances include “Angel in a Box,” the final hour of Saturday’s three-episode block. Jill races back to L.A. from Montreal to help Kelly (Smith) and Sabrina (Jackson) save her kidnapped sibling.
“She was really happy to see the girls,” the Texas-based Ladd recalls of the on-set reunions, adding that Fawcett’s megastar status never impacted her professionalism. “She said, ‘I’m here, and I’m going to do the best work I can and make this work.'”

As for Ladd, still tight with Smith and set to appear in a Lifetime holiday movie later this year, she remembers the episode fondly for another reason: It also gave her a break from Angels‘ endless wardrobe changes. “I was in the same suit the whole time!” she says with a laugh. “Farrah was in fabulous clothes every time she showed up onscreen.… She was gorgeous and sophisticated, and then there’s little Kris. One hairdo and one outfit — it was heaven!”
