Nurse Jackie: The Return of the Lesbian Moms

So who else is watching the season premiere of Nurse Jackie on Showtime tonight? As fans of the show will know, it’s full of all kinds of The Gay—plus Edie Falco, whose character Jackie isn’t gay, though her hair is. Personally, I’m most excited about the fact that Dr. Coop’s (Peter Facinelli’s) lesbian moms will be making a reappearance (thanks, After Ellen!)—with Swoosie Kurtz as Leslie and Judith Light as Maureen (replacing Blythe Danner, who had “scheduling conflicts”).

Here’s my take on the moms’ appearance in Season One. There’s a clip of them after the jump.
