48. March bonus: Teacher-student relationships on teen dramas
Paris Geller isn’t the only student to get involved with a professor on teen dramas. Today, sisters Jackie and Catherine explore the many (many, many) teen shows of the ‘90s and early 2000s that featured teacher-student relationships. There are almost too many shows to count. In addition to Gilmore Girls, we chat about Dawson’s Creek, Felicity, My So-Called Life, One Tree Hill, The O.C., Gossip Girl, Pretty Little Liars - whew! First of all, why is this such a common theme on teen dramas? How has our notion of consent, and what’s appropriate, changed over the years? We discuss whether these shows romanticize kids wanting to grow up quickly, teacher harassment, and how scandalous events of the late nineties inspired these ripped-from-the-headlines stories. And, excuse us, but did the girl from Pretty Little Liars actually marry her teacher??This is a topic best for adults, so if young ears are listening, we’d recommend popping in some headphones or airpods. Also, if topics like grooming and S.A. are tough for you, treat yourself kindly. To access this bonus episode for Gabbing Gilmore exclusive subscribers, join the Patreon community here.
