Would a Hotel reunion disappoint people?

Hotel aired from 1983-1988 and is considered one of the most influential TV shows ever on pop culture. Although no original episodes have been shot since, it has remained a regular feature on many station's schedules. But Sellecca said she's not sure if Hotel would work today. “I don't want to see old Christine Francis,” she told a journalist (Sellecca turned 69 in May). “Everyone’s going to have different vision of what the character is like, so to have that materialize is going to disappoint most people,” she added.

Still hoping for a Hotel movie?

In a recent interview, James Brolin said he can't imagine a Hotel reunion hitting the big screen. “I'd rather people go, ‘Oh, please! Please!’ than ‘I can't believe you did that. It was horrible.’”

Co-star Connie Sellecca has also previously explained, “It would be terrible to do something and have it not be good,”. “It was so terrific ... If we did a Hotel movie and it sucked, then it would, you know, blemish it.”

What about a Hotel reboot?
