Lila, who portrayed Punky’s best friend in the original 1980s sitcom, shared several pictures on Instagram featuring herself alongside her co-star, both from the past and present. “GRATEFUL! Never did I think I’d get the chance to collaborate with this incredible woman again. What a true blessing! Thank you, Universe, and to all of our Punky fans who have been on this journey with us!” she expressed.
In her heartfelt message, Lila added, “This opportunity has filled us with joy. I’ve shed countless happy tears. I’m hoping for at least five seasons, and with your support, I know we can do it. Punky has touched the lives of many, imparting lessons of empathy and kindness.”
Bright also shared a delightful photo with their new cast member, Marcus Lee, who will take on the role of Travis, Punky’s former husband. “My heart is overflowing with love for these two,” she remarked. “Every day brings new adventures, and their kindness brings out my inner child. Thank you both for being instrumental in making this dream a reality.” According to industry reports, Lee’s character is described as a musician whose career keeps him frequently traveling, yet he remains a devoted father while still harboring chemistry with Punky.
