Have you ever had a crush on a fictional character? Who was it and why did you like them?

Yes. Joanna ‘Jo’ Polinaczek. Played by Nancy McKeon. Started in Season 2 of the American sitcom Facts of Life.

1. She was a rebel and different than the rest of the cast.

2. She rode a motorcycle.

3. Her hair

4. The fact that she was a "tom-boy" character.

5. It seemed like she was having more fun than the other kids.

6. Different than being a rebel, she was also an outsider.

I could and can relate.

7. She always had a grounded, practical outlook on life.

8. She wound up being a police officer.

9. She was older than me.

10. I was 12.
