- *****Personal note: Sadly, Joshua Ryan Evans who played Timmy passed away on August 5, 2002. In a strange twist of art imitating life, the character Timmy was to give the character Charity a heart transplant. Joshua died on the same day the episode aired due to complications with his heart during routine testing. Joshua suffered from achondroplasia, a genetic condition that restricts cartilage growth and physical development. He was only 3'2" tall although he was already 17 years old when he started on the show, hence his role as a doll. All said of him that what he lacked in stature he made up for in heart. He was 20 years old. Other film credits included "Ally McBeal", "7th Heaven", "Baby Geniuses" and "How the Grinch Stole Christmas." *****.

Are you supposed to dilute the cans of lemonade and orange juice as directed on the cans? Or do you add it concentrated? I've seen this recipe in a few other places and it says to dilute it. I'm confused because it says this recipe makes one pitcher but if you add up the ingredients, even undiluted. It makes 17 cups or 4.2 litres. That's not going to fit into a pitcher. And if you dilute it as other recipes say you'll have 32 cups which definitely doesn't fit into a pitcher.

Per Chef Adrienne, DO NOT dilute the frozen juice concentrate. "I have made this punch many times and have never diluted the concentrates. The punch is made to be sweet (after all it was for a soap opera human doll child ). There is more than enough ginger ale (a full 2 liter bottle) as well as cranberry juice cocktail (a quart) to handle it all. And after a few generous shots of rum (my preference) you may not care anyway!"
