The difference between Floyd and Archie is that Archie actually loved and cared for Stephanie.

Archie has such a beautiful, pure love for Stephanie. He’s like everyone’s favorite Dad or Grandfather. The producers made a brilliant decision by adding Stephanie. We will never forget you Mr. Carroll O’Connor.

Usually a child coming in doesn’t work
What makes this scene so sad is that she finally see what everyone been trying to tell her that her dad is nothing but a deadbeat. I cried when she cried when i first saw this scene.
That’s my stepdad Ben Slack. Nothing like the character he played here. Shows what a great actor he was.

Breaks my heart to see a child suffer. On her special day, her own father causes her pain. I see Stephanie, a lovely young lady, all dressed up for her special day, standing there with her head down, it just breaks my heart.
Archie always loved his family. Sure, he was caustic at times, but he has their backs when it counted.

He sure was, and Stephanie knew it.
The show had some really great writers.
Danielle did fantastic work on this show. and that's saying a lot , look at the huge talents she worked with.
Archie and Stephanie had a strong and unique love for each other. It showed you didnt have to be blood to be family. He changed in so many ways to be a good single parent tp her and what I loved about Steffie was she was never ashamed of him. She always asked him to do the special things with her and she always showed him off and even if he really did not want to do something she asked he always gave in just to make her happy. I think he may have been closer to her than he was Gloria

What a worm stealing from his own daughter.
I like this show it showed Archie's independent side.
The Dad has no morals he should have been ashamed to take that money from her. Such a sweet girl, it’s so sad to believe that some kids really have parents like that .

i loved ALL IN THE FAMILY & ARCHIES PLACE, both showed the reality of real life & families. NOT every thing was a happy hollywood ending
In a 1995 interview with Cardhouse, Danielle Brisebois mentioned this was her personal favorite episode of AITF/ Archie's Place.
Archie’s heart ❤️ was always Carroll O’Connor
From the moment Archie picked her up at the bus station way back in all in the family he loved her even willing to pay Floyd to go away
Archie Bunker gets such a bad rap. He was the glue that kept the Bunker family together. We see it time in and time out. What a show. They don’t make them like that anymore…
One thing that money was never gonna fix was her broken heart so what good would’ve been to keep it . Yes Archie wasn’t always the easiest especially in the early episodes of AITF but one thing was for sure he had a heart of gold and loved his family unconditionally.
I was in high school when this series was on. I didn't really watch it much at the time, but watched it in reruns recently and even though it's a spinoff, it was pretty good in its own right.
Still brings tears after all these years 😊
I always thought he had better chemistry with Steph not gloria

@@kimberlycroteau86 Exactly. It was definitely more of "Here, take the money. Just get out of my life and I never want to see you again." And like Archie said, Stephanie did grow up a long way in that moment.
The way I saw it - she paid him to finally be out of her life. She has a real father and it ain't him.
Archie Rocked!!!
Sad reality … life is full of promises. Broken ones too …
our money was tight, we took in two Forster kids 16 and 17 year old that was aging out of the system, we did not accept one dollar for taking care of them I had to go back to work with Parkinson's to make money for food and their needs, they said that we was the first ones who ever cared about them without getting paid, 15 years later they still call us mom and dad, got 5 grand kids from them that call us grandparents, that person is one POS

My husband and I were honored to be called the grand parents of Martin. G. His mom was our first foster child. She is spreading her happiness of his Graduation to us. We must have do ne something right years ago when she was ours. Yes. We are mom and dad. Her bio parents are gone many years now.
They made a good team.
Powerful scene and the actors did an amazing job. My personal input is that I would rather be homeless then take her money.
This was the last of a three episode arc that marked a significant change of direction in ABP, it pretty much wrapped up the Stephanie character. Since Billie was older, they could do a broader range of stories with her. Denise Miller got a progressively larger role and lovely Stephanie's part on the show from this point was drastically reduced. They didn't know what to do with Miss Mills at the awkward age of 13 where she wasn't old enough to hang out at the bar but too old to spend a lot of time with a father type figure like Uncle Archie. They occasionally worked Danielle Brisebois into an episode just to remind viewers she was still on the show, but Stephie was no longer a significant part of the storyline.

He could have kept that 2cent lie because she knew that he wasn’t going to pay her back!
Doesn't even give her a hug! Takes her money and leaves! Disgusting!
He already had some of it in his pocket
I think some people often misinterpret this scene based on what Archie told Stephanie ("Thinking with your heart instead of your head") after giving her money to her deadbeat dad, thinking that was she did was unconditional and generous, when it was obviously clear that she gave him her money out of spite, being proven right all along that her father would much rather spend more time drinking his sorrows away than spending time with his daughter.
Touching
This is kind of an ironic episode considering a few years later Danielle Brisebois (allegedly) had all her money stolen in real life. Desperately trying to jump start a stalled career she was emancipated at 15 hoping it would increase the number of roles she would be considered for. But she was more interested in boys than balance sheets and got buried in bad business deals. By the time she turned 21 she only had $10k of her childhood fortune left.
Stephanie was so beautiful

Did you see how Floyd snatched the money out of Stephanie's hands, and didn't show any gratitude? Yes, Archie may have his faults, and he had a tendency to say something stupid, but he loved Stephanie. Floyd was nothing more than a spineless weasel.
