Does anyone remember Lillian who was on the show from 1990-1993? And does anyone know why she was taken off the show, or what her very last episode was?

Her very last episode was in the very last week of Season 24, show #3133. A grouch was visiting daycare, and Lillian kept telling her that there's plenty of grouchy stuff about daycare. Also, this episode started and ended with the new opening intro and closing theme, as opposed to the old harmonica opening intro and closing themes. They actually stopped using the harmonica music in the end of Season 24. And the last few weeks, some shows used the old music, and some used the new. It's wierd, and I don't know what determined it.

Back to Lillian, she was performed by Lillias White, and she had a daycare center. Lillian was actually a film singer for longer. She sang film songs such as "Reach Your Hand Up High", "Every Bit of Litter Hurts", "Face Facts", "When You Grow Up", "You Can Get Right Up", and "Say Cheese". She also did the voice of some character in the Disney movie "Hercules."

I know this thread is a couple years old, but I came across it tonight while doing my human cast research. This post says that Lillian's last episode was at the end of Season 24, but my information says that her very first season was season 24 and stayed on til season 27. Which is correct? It seems that out of all the human cast members, her facts are the most varied. Thanks.

Lillian did in fact appear on Sesame Street from 1990-1993. I know this for a fact as I was watching the show religously during that time. Now she may have done songs for the show right up until Season 27. I think that you could hear her voice singing a few songs after she departed from the show.

So what were the seasons that she appeared (not including voiced over songs)? Thanks.:smile:

She appeared in Seasons 22 23 and 24. She left the show right before The Around the Corner days began.

You won't believe what I just found out. She's coming on the show as a guest next season! They're doing a flashback where they go back to Gabi and Miles' first day of Kindergarten. I can't believe they're doing this! I think this is the first time this has EVER happened on Sesame Street!

First time what has ever happened exactly?

Also, that would be really cool to see her again as I hardly remember her at all when she was a regular. Will the flashback be old footage or newly filmed stuff? How did you find this out? Exciting if its true.

This is totally awsome! I always wondered why they never had the long lost humans make comeback appearances. Well now they are finally doing it. Looks like Season 37 is going to be a good one, and theyr'e finally starting to make the show better again. Now I know this isn't going to be a Flashback episode about Gabi and Mile's First day of School, because there was never a such thing. Gabi and Miles were not originally the same age, in fact I think Miles was about 5 years older, until the 25th Season, when they brought in an older actress to play the part of Gabi. So I take it theyr'e going to do a "fake" Flashback, and include Lillian in it. Now I do remember Miles having a first day of school back in 1990. But Gabi was just a baby then and wouldn't have been going with him. So that's how I know this is definetley not a flashback episode.

So what are they doing? Are they bringing in a couple of toddlers to play Miles and Gabby for this episode? What exactly is the plot/theme of this episode? Sounds exciting. I look forward to this.
