Ricky Schroder Made Out With Whitney Houston

I forgot Whitney Houston was even on Silver Spoons, but she was, and the then 15 year old Ricky Schroeder made out with the 18 year old Whitney and they never saw each other again.

  1. Ooh, I read this last night! Rick still looks like Ricky to me. He also said Kate Jackson refused to read lines with him because she didn't like him.

  2. Did he take her on a train ride around the mansion first?
    Man how I loved Ricky back in the day. My closet door was filled with a collage of pics I cut from Tiger Beat magazine!!! ~swoon~

  3. Oooh hot! Ricky Schroder is still totally adorable. I refuse, however, to call him Rick.

    I'm loving this 80s gossip today!

  4. Liar! Whitney was 8 years older than Ricky...not 3. Only way this happened was in his pubescent dreams...

  5. Ricky is mine! I was going to become an actress and star as his girlfriend then wife on the tv series, "Silver Spoons-The Adult Years." Then I turned thirteen.

  8. My best friend's little sister went out on a date with Ricky. Does this make me one degree of separation from kissing Whitney Houston?

  9. I used to love Silver Spoons! My internet connection is way too slow today to watch video (grrrr, it's storming), but he looks like he has not aged well. Isn't he only in his early 40's? The still looks like he's older than that.

  10. Whelp, got it to play after all. Yeah, he looks better in the video. It was a cute little segment.

  11. But really, bad plastic surgery? What happened to his sweet little face.

    Mega crush on that boy, back in the day!

  12. Because of Ricky Schroeder's role on Scrubs as Nurse Paul Flowers, my housemate called a male orderly "Nurse Flowers!" repeatedly when he was doped up to get his shoulder back in its place.

  13. I call BS on this one, at the time Whitney was strictly clitty and not into men so I doubt she would have made out with dude.

    1. Thanks MM - that and the age difference! And I never missed Silver Spoons. Not hating on Ricky, but I am calling him out on lying here. He was like 12-16 on the show or 11-15. What girl 8 years older (even straight ones) would want to make out w/a baby?!? Kinda creepy actually!!

  14. @Montana - 15 year old Ricky Schroder could turn anyone straight. That smile. Those eyes. Heaven. Maybe that's what happened? Once kiss from Ricky sent her straight into the arms of Bobby Brown.

    I'm SO embarrassed by my lameness right now.

  15. According to Wikipedia, that episode was in 1985, and she would have been 22 to his 15. Maybe they made out in his dreams, or maybe she kissed him on the cheek as she sent him on his puppy-love way... but made out for real? Doubtful.

  16. I was a HUGE Ricker fan...sadly my bff worked with him on a movie up here in 2008 and he was a HUGE DICK.
    Was, not has.

    Benjamin Bratt on the other hand was the nicest client she's ever had, period. He even sought her out on set to say goodbye on his last day.

    1. That's weird. I have a friend who worked with him on a movie annd said he was the nicest guy. He refused star treatment and made everything about knowing who the other actors were. Perhaps it depends on the day.

  17. Heard DeNiro tried to hook up with Whitney (he has a thang for the sistas)but Whitney's mother cockblocked.She thought DeNiro was too old.

  18. I remember that episode. I remember she kissed the lawyer dude, or whatever he was, on the show. (Franklin...something? Seales, maybe?) Since he was gay IRL and we know the rumours about her, guess neither one really enjoyed it after all.

  19. @ dia - That was an *awesome* post! I giggled out loud at that one!

    She probably just hugged and kissed him once and he's turned it in to "made out".

    @ just curious - are you m or f? I'm "just curious".

  20. Technically there was a 6 year 8 month age difference. In the video there also appears to have been, at least, a 4 inch height difference. Maybe she gave him a pity kiss so he could brag to his friends.

  21. That's impossible. Ricky was born in 1970 and Whitney was born in 1963. When Whitney was 18, Ricky was only 11 or 12 yrs old. That's just gross.

  22. Jax, that's sad, because his wife seemed like such a sweetheart on 'Top Design.'

  23. @crilla16 - Not impossible. As others have pointed out, the episode of "SS" she appeared on happened in 1985, when he was 15 and she was 22.

    I personally agree with those who stated that she probably gave him a pity kiss or a kiss on the cheek and he's just playing it up now, but this didn't happen when he was 11 or 12.

  24. I thought Rick looked rough in the club house. I watched SS but was always hot for the Dad.

  25. The problem I have with this is I refuse to see Ricky Schroeder as any older than 22.
