AHH, our hearts. Drake Bell took to Youtube, reverting to his TV persona Drake Parker, in a rather tragic clip titled #whereswalter. His stepfather, Walter Nichols (aka our favorite Fancy Cat reader and weatherman) has gone missing. The video shows a short scene where Walter is found rummaging through a garbage can donning a very hobo-like attire (yikes!). Bell asks that if anyone in San Diego or surrounding areas has seen his TV-father, to post a video using the #whereswalter hashtag.
Helen Dubois, played by Yvette Nicole Brown, also gets involved in the Walter search and vows to place flyers up in The Premier. She immediately blames Josh, and tells Parker to call her, as per usual, she thinks Drake is as cute as can be.
Audrey Parker, played by Nancy Sullivan, TV mom of Drake and wife of Nichols, wants to bring Walter home as well -- yet, strangely enough, she shows off her new pup whom she named Bruce. Bruce as in Bruce Winchell, Walter Nichols rival weatherman? HMM, something sounds suspicious there, Mrs. Parker *takes notes*.
Even Foam Finger guy makes an appearance (but now he sells Bobbleheads at the stadium) by handing out flyers outside a local Starbucks.
Keep your eyes peeled for more sightings of Walter. But also, could this continuation of the show’s plot mean a reunion is in the mix? Drake & Josh, aired it’s last episode almost a decade ago and our lives have been empty ever since.
In an interview with MTV early last year, Drake Bell hints at a Drake & Josh reunion, explaining “We're like a family. So we would love to come back and reprise the characters and see where they are.” Parker also guest starred on an episode of Grandfathered last year, rejoining Josh Peck on screen (you can’t keep these boobs apart!).
Fingers crossed Walter will be found soon and a cast reunion will be announced (PLEASE). But as for now, these #whereswalter clips will continue to make us feel nostalgic AF.
Come home, Walter. Your family needs you.
