I'm glad she had a good sized role in "The Buck Swaps Here".

Chazz93 · 05-22-2007, 07:15 AM

Today my fiance asked me if Frankie had an IF. Since I really only play the BFAHP and don't watch the show very often I figured I would ask here. Did Frankie have an IF and what happened to it?

Medikor · 05-22-2007, 07:38 AM

That's still very much up for debate, my friend. As of now, nothing has really been given to us to suggest that she had/has an imaginary friend of her own. But that doesnt mean that an episode will not be made out of it.
I think it would be something special if we got an episode where Bloo thinks that Frankie's friend Kathy is and imaginary friend (since we never see her) and tries to find her out.

Ub3rD4n · 05-22-2007, 10:18 PM

That would be a good episode. I think Frankie probably had an imaginary friend at one time or another (since she loves them so much) but still, nothing definite, she may have just played with the IFs at her grandma's place.

Medikor · 05-23-2007, 09:31 AM

I like to play around with the idea that Kathy is Frankie's imaginary friend that she put up for adoption and they like to keep in touch. But it's most likely that Frankie never needed an imaginary friend since she got to be with all the friends at Fosters. I guess we'll just have to wait for the minds behind Fosters to reveal Frankie's past.

They'll tell us more, eventually, though the wait is killing me.

As I stated in the old thread, I'm pretty sure Frankie never had an IF of her own, not because she lacked the creative ability to make one but because her parents wouldn't allow her to have one. As for why, we can only guess. I admittedly have no proof that my idea is in any way correct; it's just a feeling that somehow feels right to me.

Medikor · 05-24-2007, 05:08 PM

And maybe that's why Frankie's past is still a mystery? Maybe it was left vague enough for us to fill in the blanks for ourselves and dream about what may have been.
But I'm sure we'll learn more about her past when the writers need more stories for the show. It's only a matter of time and all good things come to those who wait.

Hopefully they WILL tell us about her life and not just continue to keep Frankie's existence both socially and family out of the lime light. I think the reason Frankie never had an imaginary friend is probably a difficult question to answer.

There's ALOT of possible reasons:

1. If the parents death theory holds true, emotional grief or trauma.
2. Stress from constantly working at her job (something tells me Madame Foster started her early).
3. Didn't feel lonely in a house of imaginary friends.
4. Wasn't bored enough to think one up in a house of imaginary friends.
5. Didn't want to make one in fear of it turning out like Mr. Herriman did (

joke)
6. Felt fine with her grand mother by her side.

I personally think the fact she grew up around so many imaginary friends is the real reason, that and the fact she has to take care of so many would help too. Whatever happened in Frankie's life is still a mystery, but we do know she's been to Foster's at least ONCE every year.

Judging by the photo of the year in "Big picture". The photos show her at a very young age so she ended up there alot, either constantly visiting or (again the possible parents death idea) lived there because she had no other relatives or elsewhere to go.

And if that is true it'd be kind of ironic when you think about it Frankie living at a foster home which is where she'd end up if had no relatives to take care of her. But anyways those are just my ideas and what not.

I still think it would be pretty funny if Duchess ended up as Frankie's imaginary friend. But I suppose Frankie wouldn't be so at odds with her own if she had one.

Cass, does Frankie have a good-sized role in the new episode that's on CN.com?
