Fan Casting Unnamed Parent

Role added by matiasramonsanchez on July 30, 2023

Make Suggestion

Description of Unnamed Parent:

The remarkably common practice in kids' shows of not giving a character's parents actual names even if they're around, instead being addressed as Mom and Dad, or occasionally by their last names. While this is probably to insert the feel of a story being shown by a child's perspective, as children don't usually use their parents' first names, it can make for really odd dialogue when another adult has to talk to them. Or even when they have to talk to each other, assuming they don't constantly use generic endearing nicknames like "darling" and "sweetheart", which would make them Happily Married by default. In some cases, they will refer to each other as some variation of Mom and Dad.
