What happened to Leo's mom?


Just discovered the show on Netflix and think it's a great premise. Very good cast. I just wonder what has happened to the mother? I know she's a newscaster, but. Is she always on assignment? Or are they just writing her character out of the show?

she's still there...they just don't utilize her character enough. i'm not sure why, she's a great addition to the show imo.

I agree. They could use a mother figure especially Bree who is the only female in the group. I love Tasha's interaction with Bree.

Watching the first episode I was wondering why she's not in the opening credits sequence. They've already got a huge male to female character imbalance and very few POC characters, so what do they do? Severely limit the mother of a main character, who is also a POC. Crap move, Disney.

I'm hoping they send her to a foreign country or something. She is the one person in the show I really don't care for that much. And she adds nothing to the show. Fact is, I can't see anyone as fun loving as Davenport marrying that slug in the mud. Keep in mind I am talking about the character played here, not the actress. Though I admit I hate that hair style of hers which probably doesn't help my opinion of her. But she really doesn't add anything to the show in any way, except for being Leo's mom, and him being introduced to the others by marriage. Her part is basically now over. She can go to another country or whatever now, as she is no longer needed.Her main plot line is already over.

Isn't the character a reporter? I agree kallamis, they can have her "on assignment" reporting or something.

I think Tasha is hilarious.

Hmm, see I don't. Shes funny, sometimes, but mostly just gets in the way.
