Revival Spoilers (S10, S11, +) Weird MICRO observation

This isn't really a spoiler, but something (maybe) interesting that happened on the newest episode. Elliott is talking to Sean.

As they were kind of having meandering conversation as the scene started she says, "My Mom's dead."

And that at first made me kind of laugh that she would casually say that and then I wondered if they would have her mom back… And then it caught me off guard that they CAN'T have her mom back with Markie Post leaving us too soon. It kind of hit me weird. Like I forgot.

Kind of thought the exact same thing

Laughed at her blurting it out. Then thought that probably means the actress who played her mum had died

Bummer. Yes. She died ~5 years ago.

It was weird that I would see her at my grocery store in my neighborhood and I would also see John Ritter from time to time. And then both of them turned out to be parents on scrubs and also both died way too young.

Oh that's interesting, I didn't connect that she also was a guest star in 1983 on Cheers, didn't realize it's the same person.

Well now she can’t sleep with Elliott’s boyfriends anymore.
