I don't know. Whenever she would be set up with a guy, it didn't look natural to me. Part of me wish her and Blair got together, but I know during the time of the show that never would have happened.
shareThey probably could have done this today--and very easily too. Nobody really would have cared. But yeah, back then the networks...etc would have panicked. Whelchel was also a religious fanatic. So there's that too.
shareShe likely was gay but didnt know it because there was no representation then like there is today......if they had a reunion now, she totally has a female partner.
shareNOPE!
shareNope. For a start I had the hots for her. Secondly I think it would have been too simple. She was a Tomboy that's all.
shareI'm watching several episodes and it feels like Jo is playing straight
shareI haven't seen an ep for a very long time. I never picked up on it but I was still a kid. Unless I am misunderstanding you, "playing straight" as in she is lesbian but pretending not to be?
shareJo talking about her boyfriends, getting married, doing it with them seemed 'fake' even for a fictional character on a TV show. It was like Jo 'was going through motions' other people wanted for her.
shareI agree, she always appeared straight to me.
shareShe was just a tomboy, which doesn’t make you gay..
