Pick up some cheesecake, because a trio of elderly ladies are taking after “The Golden Girls” to endure the coronavirus pandemic.
The three friends from the UK are all in their 70s and have moved in together in a bid to quarantine themselves as the spread of COVID-19 continues around the world.
Doreen Burns, Carol Spark and Dotty Robinson have been pals for over 40 years and each spent a week in their own homes before deciding on cohabitating like the iconic television show’s characters Dorothy Zbornak, Rose Nyland and Blanche Devereaux.
"A week in our own homes in isolation, seven days, and then if we were still fit and well, we would decide which house we'd go live in," Doreen told the British morning show “BBC Breakfast.”
While they each have homes with the same amount of bedrooms, Doreen seemed adamant they would be mostly staying in her residence, even if she didn’t have a lanai.
“I have got a front room, in case we get tetchy with each other. That might be handy,” she added. "And I've got Netflix, so we could watch 'The Crown.' So I think I'm the winner.”
Regardless of whose home they isolate themselves in, all three were in agreement as to what essentials they would be stockpiling. And it isn’t toilet paper!
“We'll have a supply of wine in," joked Dotty, as Carol showed off one of their bottles.
