TVLine Items: L Word Vet Is grown-ish Prof, Oprah Live With Beto and More
Katherine Moennig (Ray Donovan, The L Word) has a thing or two to teach the grown-ish kids: The actress will recur during Season 2 of the Freeform comedy (airing Wednesdays at 8/7c) as Professor Paige Hewson, our sister site Deadline reports.
Moennig’s character is an openly lesbian CalU teacher for a gender studies class that Zoey (Yara Shahidi) and her friends are enrolled in. The prof will be especially important to Nomi (Emily Arlook), who hasn’t come out to her parents yet and sees her instructor as someone she can talk to.
Moennig’s other TV credits include Three Rivers and Young Americans.

I wish there was a way to watch Oprah’s interview with Beto live in real time rather than wait who knows how long for OWN to air it. :(
Oprah and her bandwagon jumping. Is she going to anoint O’Rourke as the next president? I can’t stand Trump. Wish he’d get impeached. However, replacing him with someone who is equally unqualified is a bridge too far.
