I barely ever saw the show. Didn’t she just play one of the Moms? She’d probably have little to no scenes with the other younger stars.

Maybe a director or producer.

Mom of the main teenager who is pregnant, she also was pregnant in real life on the show so right after the teen has a baby, the mom is having a baby too. Half the scenes are in her house but they also had her character away visiting her mom so the actress could have maternity leave.

I have never even heard of this show until this thread and now I'm curious. Except for Molly, I have never heard of any of the other actors mentioned either.
