How would the episode "Rumor Has It" change if Caitlin Ryan weren't the main character?

...That's not just a hypothetical question! We have a real answer, straight from the official Degrassi Junior High planning documents from April of 1986 (almost an entire year before this episode aired!), which Eevee and Degrassi Kid were able to access during their recent trip to the Degrassi Archives at the University of Toronto -- and we're going to share it all with you!

After reviewing the planning documents, we discussed the episode "Rumor Has It", which aired on February 22, 1987!

Episode description:

• Many of Ms. Avery's students think that she is a lesbian. Caitlin insists that her teacher isn't gay. After dreaming that her classmates think that she is also gay, Caitlin begins to feel self-conscious at school.

Thank you so much for listening! Feedback and sharing this with friends and fellow Degrassi fans are both much appreciated!
