Wow, that is interesting. Paulina is really getting a lot of attention from the show. I don’t think Lani has mentioned a grandmother very much, but I guess now she’ll be seeing her. This actually makes me wonder if there was ever discussion of Abe’s parents. Certainly I wouldn’t expect them to bring that up now, but I’m just thinking he’s been on the show for 40 years and wondering if that’s something they were ever developing. Both Abe and Marlena seemed to largely avoid getting an extended family treatment, whereas Roman’s family was built out into the Brady clan we know and love today.

Marla Gibbs received five Emmy nominations, from 1981 to 1985, for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for CBS’s The Jeffersons. Series co-lead Sherman Hemsley was nominated once (in 1984). And co-lead Isabel Sanford was nominated seven times and won in 1981. (To this date, Sanford is the first and only woman who is black to have won that specific category—and the first of her race to have won a lead-acting Emmy for a regular television series.) The Jeffersons was a groundbreaking series. And all three deserved to win (even though only Sanford did). Perhaps this upcoming role on NBC’s Days of Our Lives will be a really good one for Gibbs, who is now age 90, and I hope people will enjoy it.

Shame Marla Gibbs never was nominated for 227

I wonder if they are going to bring back Lani’s mother Tamara (Marilyn McCoo) for a guest stint as well.
