#WHITLEY RELAX RELATE RELEASE PROFESSIONAL#
Ultimately, Whitley is coaxed into seeing a professional to get to the bottom of her jealousy and almost drags her psychiatrist, played Debbie Allen, off the ledge with her. So this week we cover A Different World, season 4, episode 14 Ex-Communication and this episode is packed with one-liners, famous Whitleyisms, and director Debbie Allen steps in front of the camera to portray Whitley’s therapist! Whitely is a little too excited about her ex, Julian coming to town to see her but her ego quickly takes a punch when she finds out Julian is engaged to a runway model and they are moving to Paris! Whitley begins lamenting about the luxurious lifestyle she would have had if she and Julian were married almost costing her relationship with Dwayne. Now you see this on T-shirts, mugs, journals, as mantras, website titles, wellness guides and of course memes but it all started HERE! Stories dealt mainly with college-themed issues such as racism, fraternity pledging and on-campus romances.Three words that started a movement happened on this episode: Relax, Relate, Release.

Witley and Dwayne began an on-again off-again relationship before they became married at the end of the fifth season.

Vernon Gaines, chef at the campus hangout, The Pit, became a regular in the third season. Also, Ron Johnson and Walter Oakes became regulars in the second season after appearing occasionally during the first season. Giving Dwayne a hard time was his math professor, Colonel Bradford Taylor. Freddie was a "hippie-child" who developed a crush on Dwayne and Kim, an aspiring med student, became Whitley's new roommate. In the fall of 1988, new students Freddie Brooks and Kim Reese entered Hillman College. Each directive affords us a game plan to realign and to regain mental clarity. Although Whitley’s therapy session scene was comical in nature, the charge to Relax, Relate, and Release can be applicable even during trying times such as these. At the end of the first season, Denise would return home (and to The Cosby Show) after dropping out of college. One key piece of advice given to Whitney in that episode, which has subsequently reverberated throughout pop culture to this day, was to Relax, Relate, and Release. Lettie Bostic later replaced Stevie as the new dorm director. Also included in the first season cast were obnoxious and extremely wealthy dormmate Whitley Gilbert, ladies' man Dwayne Wayne and dorm director Stevie Rallen. It was inspired by student life at historically black colleges and universities.ĭenise Huxtable enters her sophomore year at Hillman, alma mater of her parents and grandfather, where she moves into Gilbert Hall and shares a dorm room with 26-year-old Jaleesa Vinson and talkative new roommate Maggie Lauten.
