<P> At first, Jenny disliked her brother Allan when he came home after two years in Paris, mainly because she turned out "black" and he turned out "white". But as siblings go, they reconcile and return their love for each other . Their love stayed strong, as Jenny asked Allan to be Jessica's godfather . But since Allan was snowed in, Harry Bentley was to be the proxy . </P> <P> Allan Willis (Andrew Harold Rubin / Jay Hammer) is the Willis' only son and older brother of Jenny . Andrew Rubin appears as this character in the first season finale episode entitled "Jenny's Low" (aired on April 12, 1975), in which Allan returns from Europe, and is given the "Cold Shoulder" by his sister, Jenny (Berlinda Tolbert). Jenny starts staying at the Jeffersons' apartment as long as Allan stayed at their own home . She was somewhat jealous of Allan turning out to be "white". They eventually reconcile . In the 1978--79 season, which is the fifth season, Allan is now portrayed by Jay Hammer, who joins the cast in a two - part episode of the season opener . Allan returns from New Mexico, while his parents return from Syracuse after Tom's father dies . Allan is left the Fortune Warehouse in the will and the relationship between Tom and Allan becomes very cold because of his "happy - go - lucky" attitude . Allan is well known for his sharp rebuttal against George's insults and his well - rounded personality . After this season (1978--79), Hammer was fired from the show cast, and Mike Evans returned to the series in the fall of 1979 . After that, the way it was described with Allan's writing out of the storyline that he was residing in Minnesota . Allan was also chosen to be his niece, Jessica Jefferson's, godfather upon her birth, but Allan supposedly had gotten snowed in, so Harry Bentley was chosen as the proxy . </P> <P> Florence Johnston (Marla Gibbs) is the Jeffersons' sassy, backtalking, wisecracking maid . Her first appearance is actually in the pilot episode, when she was interviewed and hired as the housekeeper for the title - bearing characters . Although her job is supposed to take up most of her time, she is flat - out slothful, using very little energy or effort to clean the Jeffersons' apartment . She regularly bickers with George . George, who pays Florence's salary, repeatedly complains about her laziness (and cooking), and he gives her a very small paycheck . Several times he was on the verge of firing her, but Louise, who thinks of her as one of the family, forces him not to . Originally a recurring character, Gibbs later became the core of the series, becoming a series regular, appearing in 207 of the 253 episodes . </P> <P> Despite being a decent Christian (as Gibbs is in real - life) woman, Florence never kept a long relationship with men . This was the biggest reason she gave to the Jeffersons and the Willises when she contemplated suicide in a Season Two episode . However, George incongruously told Florence not to, simply because she would be hurting everyone if she did . Louise would later credit George for convincing Florence not to take her own life, and gave that as a big reason that underneath his gruff, stubborn exterior was a man who was concerned about others . </P>
