The 60-year-old actress while attending the NAACP Image Awards on Saturday told People that she and Lindsay, 37, could work together in two fun ways.
‘Yes, absolutely,’ Lisa replied when asked if she would be willing to revive her character Chessy from The Parent Trap.
‘I would love to go back for another version of it — or if [Lohan] wants to come on to our show, I’d love that, too,’ Lisa said referencing the hit ABC comedy Abbott Elementary.
Lisa plays Philadelphia second-grade teacher Melissa Schemmenti on the sitcom that won outstanding comedy series at the NAACP Image Awards.

Lindsay, shown earlier this month in Beverly Hills, California, in The Parent Trap famously played 11-year-old twins Hallie Parker and Annie James who randomly meet at summer camp after being separated at birth
She previously revealed that she would be thrilled if Lindsay portrayed her redheaded relative on Abbott Elementary.
‘I guess we’d have to make her a relative since we’re both redheads — since I’m a “redhead,” and she actually is,’ Lisa told Entertainment Tonight in January.

Lisa played Hallie’s nanny Chessy in the film.
Abbott Elementary creator and co-star Quinta Brunson won outstanding actress at the NAACP Image Awards and William Stanford Davis, who plays custodian Mr. Johnson, won outstanding supporting actor.
‘I am so happy that people are recognizing the talent that [Davis] is. He’s my neighbor, he’s my friend. We watch football together on the weekends,’ Lisa said.
Lisa gushed about the ‘top-tier talent’ on the show and how it has changed her career.
‘It’s amazing that the audiences love us first and foremost, that teachers love us and the audiences love us is great,’ she said. ‘And then the critics and everybody in the business is so thrilled with our performance and with what Quinta has put together.’
‘I have job security for the first time in maybe my entire career for the next little bit anyway. And I get to go to work every day … with top-tier talent people. There’s not, I always say, there’s not a bum in the lot,’ she added.
Lisa also shared what it’s like on the set of the popular show.
‘You go right to hair and makeup and usually we’re sharing whatever happened either over the weekend or the night before. Sometimes there are people that are very quiet — Tyler [James Williams] — but we know he needs to have his coffee, so, kind of leave him alone,’ she said.
