Lights, camera, reunion! Lisa Whelchel and Geri Jewell reunited for a heartwarming get-together that brought back all the feels from their iconic roles on The Facts of Life.
Whelchel, who portrayed the preppy Blair Warner on the show’s entire nine-season run, shared a delightful collection of photos with Jewell, who played her onscreen cousin Geri Tyler. The pair donned matching red shirts and heart-shaped necklaces, igniting a wave of nostalgia for fans of the beloved sitcom.
In an Instagram caption, Whelchel gushed about her longtime friendship with Jewell, despite not being related by blood. “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!” she shared.
This isn’t the first reunion for the cast of The Facts of Life in 2021. Earlier this year, Whelchel surprised viewers of The Drew Barrymore Show alongside former costars Nancy McKeon and Mindy Cohn. Barrymore herself expressed her deep connection to the show and its characters, highlighting the importance of strong female friendships and independence portrayed by the characters.
So, grab your popcorn and get ready for more heartwarming reunions as the cast of The Facts of Life continues to bring smiles to fans old and new.
