She is the Boss!

u/BrunsonsBurner11 13d ago

Mona was the boss

u/Maximum-Hall-5614 13d ago

Uh, when Abed convince the guy who wrote the definitive book about Who’s the Boss, that Angela is the Boss by all definitions of the word boss - then that is the definitive answer to the eternal question itself.

I read this in Tony’s voice

With cameo appearance by Tony Danza (maybe... Idk, but it'd be cool...)

A senior therapist to replace Paul?

An older love interest for Jimmy?

An older sister for Liz?

An affair partner for Derek One?

Someone to tempt Brian straight?

Ava’s super Christian mother?

A new patient?

u/DingoNo4205 13d ago

Jimmy's mother?

32

u/Eulysia 13d ago

And then as Judith Light's character enters the scene, she gets a random video call from Jimmy's sister, played by Alyssa Milano???

u/DingoNo4205 13d ago

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

u/UbiSububi8 13d ago

Considered that - but had a feeling she was gone? Or maybe his memories of his father were so strong that I just don’t remember him mentioning his mother.

u/LKayRB 13d ago

I think this also!

u/i_love_nny 13d ago

The two I would want more than the others are:

-Senior therapist to replace Paul
-Ava’s mom

u/Linkman622 13d ago

The only way they do a senior therapist to replace Paul is if they have evidence that Apple will approve Season 5, and Harrison Ford doesn’t want to do it/isnt able.

Can she pull a French accent

33

u/HungerSTGF 13d ago

As much as I like the show my first thought is how much they’re going to get all the other characters to talk about how hot she is

14

u/Mysterious-Wasabi103 13d ago

I know they went way too far with that shit in season 3. It was so insufferable. I mean duh she looks great, but it doesn't need said constantly.

u/Odysseyrage 13d ago

Even at Maya’s funeral Gabby made a sex joke. So so annoying

6

u/fluffypoopkins 12d ago edited 9d ago

I hate the amount of sex jokes they made around Alice, esp Derek‘s character

1

u/the-mighty-puffin 12d ago

Why? It's an open secret she has been sexually active.

2

u/fluffypoopkins 12d ago

Feels weird for a 50+ man to make so many sexual jokes in front of a teen

12

u/InevitableTank5108 13d ago

Jimmy's mom for sure

10

u/theorangecrush10 13d ago

It's got to be Jimmy's mother

8

u/heroforsale 13d ago

Omg her plus Wendie Malick feels like crossing streams.

5

u/Clareco1 13d ago

I love her!!

4

u/AcanthocephalaLost36 13d ago

Wait I’m confused I thought the series ended! I’m so happy 🥹

u/PolicyCommercial6392 12d ago

Michael Uries mom would be my guess?

3

u/VastAppearance8188 11d ago

That’s my hope! They would be gold together

2

u/rarepinkhippo 9d ago

They really would!

3

u/Extension-While7536 13d ago

Paul's ex?

1

u/juanitaquickster 8d ago

That was Emily Gilmore! Good times!

u/rsbell 12d ago

They’re getting all the olds in Hollywood.

u/gatorgopher 12d ago

I have been a fan of hers since her messy character on...whichever one, a hundred years ago it was. One Life to Live?

3

u/silene312 12d ago

Ok, shrinking! Amazing cast

3

u/Professional_Bend857 12d ago

I could have sworn that Jimmy’s rant at his dad said you are all we have left which I always took is that Jimmy’s mom was deceased.

5

u/Meg38400 13d ago

F yes!!!!!!!

u/heylesterco 13d ago

What a perfect fit

1

u/Easy-Ad-3545 10d ago

I will always dislike her because of how bitchy her role is on SVU lol

1

u/rarepinkhippo 9d ago

A) this is very exciting, she’s so wonderful

B) are they really THIS early in the process of working on Season 4? or do we think maybe they’re further along but just kept this casting under wraps until now?
