Wait for it… Reba and Barbra Jean are back!!!
Reba McEntire and Melissa Peterman briefly revived their Reba characters this week for a mini-reunion to let us see how their characters would handle the current quarantine.
The short reunion clip began with Barbra Jean sitting in her closest and sending a virtual message to her friend Reba.
“Just wanted to check in and see how you’re holding up during this quarantine,” she said. “Girl, I’m going crazy. I’m hiding in a closet right now because Brock and Henry are driving me bananas.
They have painted a giant checkerboard on the living room floor, and then they’re using frozen pizzas as checkers. I had to trade in all my Beanie Babies for toilet paper, and every day, I’ve started turning clocks back, like, 15 minutes so I can start drinking earlier!
Me! Reba, I’m day drinking! It is a slippery slope, my friend, a slippery slope. And the worst thing is that you’re just down the street and I can’t come over and give my very best friend a hug! I mean, isn’t that just the worst?!”
Reba’s responding message came from her pantry, where she told Barbra Jean to keep it down.
“Kids have been wanting me to play games all day long,” she said. “I’ve played more games than you can imagine! You know how much I like games, but I’m sick of it. Sick of it! You might even be a welcome visitor but we can’t, we’re in quarantine. So video chat me back or something. Here they come, I’ve gotta go”
The show Reba ran from 2001-2007 and the duo has reunited many times over the years. These two friends recently had an in-person reunion in December when Peterman visited Las Vegas to take in one of Reba’s residency performances with Brooks & Dunn at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace.
If you were wondering, yes, they did post a picture to remember the evening!
We absolutely ADORE these two! Anyone else want to see more of them?
