The Cast of 'Blossom' Then and Now

Blossom is back! Actress Jenna Von Oy, who played Blossom's best friend Six, tweeted this picture of the exciting cast reunion writing, "Check us out on @HubTVNetwork on July 7th! Older, but still together!!"


Since Blossom went off the air in 1995, its cast has gone on to pursue many other avenues on different television comedies. With this long-awaited reunion now officially in the works, it gives us a chance to take a look at the Blossom cast then and now.

Then: Bialik starred as the eponymous Blossom Russo, one of television's first quirky girls and a pre-cursor to the "manic pixie dream girl." Bialik had already starred in a number of films and television shows before Blossom got picked up by NBC, including her acting debut in the horror classic Pumpkinhead. Blossom ran from 1990 to 1995.


Now: Bialik currently stars on The Big Bang Theory as Sheldon's love interest, and a neuroscientist. The role hits close to home because Bialik actually has a PhD in neuroscience from UCLA.

Then: Joey Lawrence starred as the lovable Joey Russo on Blossom, adorable, handsome, but not the brightest light on the porch. Before Blossom, Lawrence had already appeared on the successful NBC sitcom Gimme A Break! from 1981-87. He also provided the voice of Oliver in the Disney animated feature Oliver & Company.


Now: Lawrence currently stars opposite former teen-star Melissa Joan Hart on the ABC Family original series Melissa & Joey.

Then: On Blossom, Stoyanov played Joey Russo's older brother Anthony, a recovering drug and alcohol addict. Stoyanov stayed with the show for several years before leaving to be a writer for Late Night with Conan O'Brien from 1993-96.


Now: Stoyanov has continued acting and writing after leaving Late Night. He wrote for such beloved sketch comedy shows as The Dana Carvey Show, Mr. Show With Bob And David, and MadTV, and acted in small roles in Beverly Hills, 90210, Prison Break and as one of The Joker's goons in The Dark Knight.

Then: Jenna played Six Dorthy Lemeure, Blossom's very best friend who also had a huge crush on Joey. Before starring in Blossom, she had a guest spot on Tales From The Darkside and the acclaimed Tom Cruise film Born On The Fourth Of July. During the show's run, von Oy temporarily stepped back from shooting Blossom to star in the short-lived CBS sitcom Lenny, and returned after Lenny got canceled.


Now: Jenna von Oy continues to act and provide her voice to animated projects, including Family Guy. In 2007 she released her debut country music album Breathing Room.
