Facts of Life Does a Covert Gay Episode With Cousin Geri

“Cousin Geri” (December 24, 1980)

Fun game for listeners: Take a shot every time Drew mentions the phrase “gigantic bitch” in connection with Lisa Welchel’s Blair, who is in rare form this episode as she shuns her disabled cousin Geri for reasons that aren’t the ones you’re probably assuming. In this discussion, we bring up why Geri Jewell is a trailblazer as far as being queer and also one other thing and also why “actress recurring on Deadwood” is lowkey code for lesbian.

Erin Fletcher, we want you back for that Saved by the Bell episode.
