I’ve had multiple asks come into by inbox about this and I apologize for ignoring them but we all decided to wait a few weeks before revealing who/what was behind the Mama Bennet reveal at the end of episode 100…but alas, the wait is over!

Yes, for all of those wondering, that WAS my arm and part of my…back of me. But the story of Mama Bennet is so much more!

First, there was the problem of my “young looking elbows” as Bernie pointed out the first time we had tried to shoot the entrance. Luckily, Kate Rorick had a quick solution in the fact that she had a scarf on-hand.

And then there was the fact that I can’t do a convincing Southern accent for the life of me. But we knew a wonderful actress who could and that was the fantastic Taryn O'Neill. Who incidentally just started appearing as a guest star in the new series Granite Flats, which premiered yesterday. You go Taryn!

And finally, I must give credit to Margaret Dunlap, who first told me the idea of revealing Mama Bennet in the last episode…and my body would make a fine addition to the cast…haha.

There you have it! It takes a village to build a Mama Bennet! ;)
