“Abbott Elementary” star Lisa Ann Walter shared with People that she’d be up for revisiting her 1998 version of the classic “Parent Trap,” telling the outlet, “Yes, absolutely.” She was only too happy to speak about her “Parent Trap” costar, Lindsay Lohan, at the NAACP Image Awards on Saturday.
“I would love to go back for another version of it — or if [Lohan] wants to come on to our show, I’d love that, too,” she added.
This isn’t the first time Walter has discussed bringing Lohan onto the hit ABC sitcom. In January, she told Entertainment Weekly that the younger actress could play a relative. “I guess we’d have to make her a relative since we’re both redheads — since I’m a ‘redhead,’ and she actually is,” Walter explained.
In February, Walter brought up the possibility of reviving her “Parent Trap” character again, this time at the SAG Awards.

Lindsay Lohan may not like watching her own movies, but admitted she got emotional when she saw her son watching one of her beloved films.
The actress stopped by The Drew Barrymore Show on Thursday, where the host asked her whether she watches the films she had starred in. Drew Barrymore noted that she can’t because it feels “indulgent.”
While Lohan said she doesn’t seek out her movies, she will occasionally have one on in the background. “I mean, if someone wants to watch it and I’m there, I put it on and I’m like cooking in the kitchen or I have to run upstairs or I’m busy doing something else, ’cause it’s hearing my voice that I’m like, ‘Eh,'” she explained.
However, the actress recently caught her 8-month-old son Luai watching 1998’s The Parent Trap, where she played twins Hallie Parker...

While the Hayley Mills faithful will likely consider it sacrilege, Disney's update of its 1961 charmer, "The Parent Trap", emerges as the most satisfying of the studio's recent dust-offs.
Marking co-scribe Nancy Meyers' debut at the helm, the picture is a handsomely mounted, impeccably cast midsummer romantic comedy that for the most part hits all the key classic moments with respect rather than sticky reverence.
Although the two-hour-plus running time might tax smaller viewers' attention spans (granted, the original was even longer), this "Parent Trap" could very well double the going family-fare rate at the boxoffice, snaring both young girls and their nostalgic moms. And video should be, to quote from another memorable Mills outing, scathingly brilliant.
Doing double duty as spunky Northern Californian Hallie Parker and her separated-at-birth, London-bred twin Annie James, freckle-faced daytime soap veteran Lindsay Lohan is a major find, nailing her British accent and demanding eye lines with considerable finesse. Mills would likely approve.
Meanwhile, the Brian Keith and Maureen O'Hara roles have been neatly filled by dependable Dennis Quaid as Hallie's winery-owning dad and Natasha Richardson as Annie's wedding gown-designing mum. It's particularly gratifying to see the endlessly versatile Richardson demonstrate a winning but seldom seen flair for physical comedy.
Likewise, TV comedian Lisa Ann Walter ("Life's Work") shows off some sparkling line delivery as Parker family housekeeper Chessy, while busy British actor Simon Kunz ("Four Weddings and a Funeral") has some fun as the Jameses' unstuffy butler, Martin. And, in a nod to continuity, Joanna Barnes, who played the conniving Vicki Robinson in the original, returns as the mother of the current evil fiancee played by Elaine Hendrix.
Meyers and longtime writing partner Charles Shyer, who handed over the directing reins to his wife but did second-unit work here, do a nice job in lightly modernizing David Swift's original screenplay, which, in turn, was based on a German novel.
But there's an episodic feel to the material that could have been eliminated had Meyers and Shyer been able to cut it down to a more compact, contemporary length.
Behind the scenes, the production is a pleasant surprise. Rather than adhering to the usual, budget-conscious, shoot-it-in-Vancouver approach, the producers have done it up right with the help of a couple of Deans of the industry -- production designer Dean Tavoularis ("The Godfather" movies) and director of photography Dean Cundey ("Jurassic Park", "Apollo 13"), who lend the remake an unexpectedly rich luster.
Add solid visual effects, some chic contributions by costume designer Penny Rose ("Evita") and a bouncy Alan Silvestri score -- but subtract the onslaught of too cute song cues -- and "The Parent Trap" is live action Disney diversion at its breezy best.
