Lisa Ann Walter says she's ready for a 'Parent Trap' reboot under one condition
Lisa Ann Walter, beloved for playing Chessy in The Parent Trap (1998), says she's open to returning for a reboot but only under one very specific condition. Speaking at an Abbott Elementary event in Los Angeles, Walter shared what would convince her to revisit the fan-favourite role. 'One-hundred percent if Nancy Meyers wrote it,' she said, referring to the director and co-writer of the 1998 Disney remake. Walter also insisted any reboot should include Lindsay Lohan and Dennis Quaid, and thoughtfully honour the absence of Natasha Richardson, who portrayed the twins' mother. 'Dennis has said that he doesn't think it's doable without Natasha, and I understand that,' she explained. 'If it was written beautifully, maybe it's doable.' The actress remains close with co-star Elaine Hendrix and occasionally hears from Lohan via Instagram. She even kept in touch with Quaid during the pandemic, delivering meals to his home. Walter added that although her own kids weren't obsessed with The Parent Trap, they've had their own experiences with its legacy. 'All of my boys have said that girls have dated them specifically because Chessy is their mum,' she joked. Reflecting on the film's lasting impact, Walter said, 'People still dress up as the characters to this day.' She believes a new version, if made with care, would resonate with longtime fans.
