The Long-Awaited ’90s Show Mystery: Unraveling the Forman Family Secret!

That '90s Show can finally resolve a long-standing mystery from That '70s Show with the introduction of a character cameo. The Netflix spinoff centers around Leia Forman, the daughter of Eric Forman and Donna Pinciotti. The series has already featured cameo appearances from Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher, reprising their roles as Jackie Burkhart and Michael Kelso. Wilmer Valderrama also returns as Fez, a beloved character that allows the actor to display his comedic talent.

Topher Grace and Laura Prepon reprise their roles as Eric and Donna, with Grace appearing only in the pilot episode, while Prepon makes multiple cameo appearances. While none of the original characters are essential to That '90s Show, Debra Jo Rupp and Kurtwood Smith, who play Kitty and Red Forman respectively, are regulars in the series. As the second season premiere approaches, fans can anticipate another exciting cameo in That '90s Show that may finally bring clarity to Kitty's convoluted family tree.

Penny Making A Cameo In That '90s Show Can Finally Confirm If Kitty Has Another Sibling

In the TV show called That '70s Show, there is an episode in season 4 called "Eric's Hot Cousin" where Eric's cousin, Penny Sigurdson, visits. Although Kitty's twin sister, Paula, also appears in the series, it is clear that she does not have any children. The show never explains who Penny's parents are, but it is evident that she is somehow related to Kitty's family as their last names match. It is possible that Kitty may have a brother who could be Penny's father, although this sibling is never mentioned in the show.

If the spinoff show, That '90s Show, includes a cameo from Eric's cousin, Penny, it would be an opportunity to finally address the mystery of her parentage. Additionally, it could explore Kitty's family history further and provide an explanation as to why her other siblings never make an appearance in the original show. Although the episode featuring Penny is an example of a storyline from That '70s Show that would not be considered acceptable today, it is still intriguing to imagine the implications of Penny's return in That '90s Show for the show's overall story.

Penny's Possible That '90s Show Return Would Create A Problem With That '70s Show's First Spinoff

Regrettably, Penny's inclusion in That '90s Show creates complications within the shows' shared universe. Furthermore, actress Brittany Daniel had a prominent role as Sophia in That '80s Show. Although it's not a spinoff but rather a spiritual successor overseen by the same creative team, the 1980s-set series differs from That '90s Show by featuring an entirely new cast and distinct storylines and characters that never intersect with those from That '70s Show. Since That '80s Show does not qualify as a typical spinoff, there are no in-universe inconsistencies in Daniel's portrayal of Penny in That '90s Show.
