Casting of Vanessa's Mother



Vanessa does have parents! Gina Torres ("Alias," "Firefly") has signed on to play Vanessa's mother, Gabriela Abrams.

It sounds as though Gabriela, described as a former Brooklynite who's defected to Vermont, will have more of a role in Vanessa's life than previously thought (V, after all, has been living by herself in Brooklyn all this time). Torres will appear in two episodes this season, but definitely expect Mrs. Abrams to be a recurring character in the series. [source] '


I don't really know how I feel about this. I don't know this woman, I have never seen her in anything so I don't know what to think. Personally it sucks that Vanessa is going to have more screen time. UGH. But at least she will stay away from Chuck and I kind of want to see her back story and where she came from. What do you think?

  1. I like this actress, but more V storyline is not on my GG wish list. But as long as V is AWAY from Chuck (and Blair for that matter) I don't care. Plus, one can only hope that V's mom takes her back to Vermont and she is never to be heard from or seen again. Win!
