Georganne LaPiere as Woodman's niece

"The Goodbye Guy" introduces Georganne LaPiere as Kelly Woodman, Principal Woodman's niece, caught babysitting for the Kotters by an enraptured Epstein. Naturally, her uncle isn't pleased to find his pretty niece falling for a Sweathog, even less so when he learns that they plan to move in together. Things cool considerably after the couple dine in a health food restaurant, where Juan insults one of Kelly's friends and the hapless waiter. He confesses his longtime dream to her and finds only ridicule. Nothing is certain in their final scene in the schoolyard, but she made one return appearance in the very last episode, "The Bread Winners." Once again both Kotter and Barbarino are absent.
