The reunion didnt start out as sentimental as Candice Bergen imagined it would.
But the group proceeded to make fun of Bergens lavish quarters instead.
Faith came in and said, This is like Vin Diesels trailer, recalls Bergen.

We were all shocked at the size of it, adds English.
Theres a rock garden, says Grant Shaud, who plays Miles Silverberg.
A fireplace, continues Faith Ford (Corky Sherwood).

I liked sitting next to the water feature, says Joe Regalbuto (Frank Fontana).
Then Ford started in with the hugs, and Bergen was suddenly overcome with emotion.
These were the people she knew and loved from 1988 to 1998.
It was just too much.
Not only were we doing it again, they built these exact replicas of the sets.
I felt so lucky.
It was like coming home in a really deep way.
Ive often said Im not sure that would be the case today.
But here we are again.
She didnt have much experience, had very strong opinions, and was extremely out-there.
I really disliked her.
I made a joke someplace like If CBS just gave me six episodes, thats all I would need.
But Warner Bros. Television did.
It was hard, recalls English.
In the back of my head I was thinking, Is this gonna be a mistake?
There was a legacy there, and I didnt want to mess it up.
Candice didnt want to mess it up.
Fortunately, it took far less time to reunite the rest of the gang via email.
We all responded immediately, adds the Pennsylvania-based Shaud, who recurs onYounger.
Regalbuto was just appreciative of the timing.
This is the perfect time to bring this show back.
(Its also in the bio of her addictive Instagram account, BergenBags.)
Trump is president for sure, says English, who moved the show to New York to accommodate Bergen.
Our show has always been like that.
We treat our characters as though they live in the real world.
Avery has followed in his mothers footsteps by following the 2016 campaign.
He calls her out on that a lot.
Reality will definitely inspire how English crafts her scripts.
Upcoming episodes will shine a light on the #MeToo movement and those truth-challenged White House press briefings.
So yeah, well be really topical.
Im just someone who says, Blow it out your nose, Ive got problems of my own.
Murphy doesnt understand anything I do, says Dodani.
Not that the revival needs any extra star power.
The audience went nuts.
They loved the show, and were just desperately hungry for the other point of view, she continues.
No fake news here.
