Mike confronts his new but rowdy neighbor, Helen Potts (Patricia Richardson), for waking up neighbors with their power tools and repair projects. But when Vanessa and Helen quickly become friends, Mike decides to get in the way. Meanwhile, Eve discovers that Ed isn't the type of Vietnam War hero she thought he was.Patricia Castle Richardson (born February 23, 1995) is an American actress best known for her role as Jill Taylor in the ABC comedy Home Improvement and Helen Potts in Last Man Standing, where she reunited with her co-star of Home Improvement, Tim Allen. A common joke in Home Improvement saw neighbor Wilson's face obscured by a fence or other objects; this is the episode that finally revealed it. Some Home Improvement actors also made notable guest appearances on Last Man Standing, so here are all the casting junctions. Last Man Standing gave star Tim Allen the chance to reunite with some of his Home Improvement co-stars and here are all the actors who were invited to the show.
Richardson played Helen Potts in two episodes of Last Man Standing, with her first appearance in the aptly titled Helen Potts filled with calls from Home Improvement. The series cast him as Tim The Tool Man Taylor, who growls A LOT, host of a home improvement show called Tool Time, but most of the drama revolved around his domestic life with his wife Jill (Patricia Richardson) and their three children. Richardson played Tim's wife, Jill, in Home Improvement, and it was a joint decision between her and Allen that the comedy would end after eight seasons, since they were afraid that it would become obsolete. Last Man Standing also embraced Allen's past in Home Improvement on a regular basis, including the actor who reprised Tim Taylor in an episode titled Dual Time.
Home Improvement was one of the most important comedies of the 90s, with the premise loosely inspired by the monologue routine of Allen's Primitive Man.
