Throughout each and every episode, Clarissa persistently hits the fourth wall to tell audience how she's feeling and provides her side of the tale in regard to various life events, from happening her first date to buying her first automotive.
As Clarissa used to be Melissa's first primary TV position, the actress tells us she was incredibly excited to look the sequence go back as a reboot nearly three decades after the series finale and he or she was relatively concerned with its rumored comeback. However, regardless of her efforts to make it come to lifestyles, it seems like it won't happen.

"I'm not allowed to say more [about the project] right now, but hopefully we'll have more news later on this year... we just need a writer to figure out what the U.S. version of the series is, and then we'll be able to start production."
Work aside, Melissa has been ready to spend more time with circle of relatives because of the pandemic.
Despite the tumultuous yr that was once 2020, Melissa was once overjoyed so to spend more time with family. She says she just lately moved into a new house along with her husband and three kids, where they have enjoyed spending a lot of high quality time.
"Moving helped us feel like we haven’t been stuck in the same place the whole time, so I feel like we've been lucky to clean our house and say goodbye to it," she explains.
"For the first time in my life, I've had the time to watch TV with my family and my husband.. we have a few different shows going on right now — my husband and I are watching Yellowstone, I just started watching Bridgerton (which I watch after my husband falls asleep!). I just finished The Queen's Gambit and The Crown, and with the kids, we just started The Wonder Years. I never really watched it, so it’s been fun," she tells us.
