* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Gretchen was originally meant to be a plain and frumpy girl whom Regina only kept around because her parents were so rich. Naturally his trait was thrown out completely when Lacey Chabert was cast. The script, however, still has a few places where Regina claims no one finds Gretchen attractive.

** She's not a lesbian, she's Lebanese!
** Since she apparently [[spoiler:hooks up with Kevin]] at the end, the question is more [[spoiler:"is she [[BiTheWay bisexual]]?"]]
*** There could easily be a giant research paper about Janis Ian's sexual orientation. There seems to be a grain of truth in Regina's rather homophobic gossip - which suggests that Regina has problems with actually getting close to people as a friend and being cared about and she wanted to detach from Janis, her first really close friend - but Janis' grudge suggests that she did have feelings for Regina. She's gone above and beyond to get revenge on Regina, and she is incredibly wounded/panicky about the rumor.
*** It's also possible that Janis is still upset about a rumor spread by her best friend and the way Regina treated her.
