Could Bob End Up Moving Back To Point Place In That ’90s Show Season 2?
Bob Was Still Living In Florida In That ’90s Show Season 1
Stark’s more prominent presence inThat ’90s Showseason 2 suggests that Bob could be moving back to Point Place. Though he’s still dressed like he’s in the Sunshine State, Bob appears to be quite settled into his old neighborhood in the trailer. AlthoughBob has been living in Florida since 1980, he clearly misses Point Placeand wants to be in closer proximity to his granddaughter. Leia may live in Chicago for most of the year, but Wisconsin is a lot closer to Illinois than Florida, making it much easier for Bob to visit Leia more often.
Bob’s potentially permanent return to Wisconsin is even more likely with Laura Prepon also returning as Donna inThat ’90s Showseason 2. Considering Leia is staying with Red and Kitty in Point Place again for the summer, Donna and Eric presumably still live in Chicago full-time, but Donna’s reappearance inThat ’90s Showseason 2 would make even more sense if her own dad relocating to their hometown. Of course, he’ll have to find someplace else to live, since his old house next door to the Formans is currently occupied by Sherri, Gwen, and Nate Runck.
That ’90s Showseason 1 is available to stream on Netflix.
