Facts of Life’s Lisa Whelchel Reunited With Costar Before Reboot Claims


Facts of Life’s Lisa Whelchel spent quality time with costar Geri Jewell before fans began to speculate the actress was responsible for stalling the reboot

“We aren’t technically family, but since we played one on TV (Cousin Geri) and we’ve known each other for almost a half a century, it sure feels like it!” Whelchel, 61, wrote via Instagram on Saturday, July 20. Now a motivational speaker as well as a standup comedian, Jewell has cerebral palsy, as did her fictional sitcom character — a milestone for representation of those with disabilities on TV in the ’80s. (Fans later discovered Cohn’s Instagram shows her hanging out with Fields, 55, and McKeon, 58, over the past few years, but there are seemingly no photos of Whelchel.)
