Talk: Jamal

Relatives

First, I'm assuming this Tarah is no relation to the later wheelchair-bound Tarah? I keep wondering if that was one of those net rumours, but perhaps it's just another character disambiguation case. All the sources I've found only mention Kayla, who was six months old when introduced. More importantly, does anyone recall how Jamal and Angela were related to Gordon and Susan? I quote USA Today: "Three fresh faces - Angela (Angel Jemmott) and Jamal (Jou Jou Papailler), a black couple, and their 6-month-old, Kayla - are related to series regulars Susan and Gordon. "We want to show the family as a socializing agent, the most important part of a child's life," Lovelace says. The knowledge gained from the show's race relations curriculum "will guide our thinking on families, in terms of looking at their diversity." Any clues on this? (Especially as a Human Relatives page seems fairly imminent at this point). --Andrew, Aleal 02:28, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, I took the Tarah thing from Wikipedia, but then I remembered who Tarah was. I just changed the info on the Wikipedia list. Kayla was their only child. I don't remember how they're related to Gordon and Susan, though. -- Danny Toughpigs 02:32, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, I wasn't watching Sesame Street much in those years, so I'm a bit fuzzy on a lot of the details. --Andrew, Aleal 02:43, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

I think that Angela was Gordon's cousin. --Minor muppetz 03:24, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
