'Mom's Beth Hall on playing an oddly interesting emotional mess on the show: 'I can't think of anything I would change about Wendy'

While everybody was busy focusing on Marjorie beating cancer and Jill coping with miscarriage, somehow Wendy morphed into a person who is 'not afraid to stick up for herself'.

CBS' hit comedy 'Mom' starring Anna Farris and Oscar-winner Allison Janney has probably one of the funniest, most unique takes on the issue of alcoholism and alcoholics in recovery. Revolving around the characters Christy (Farris) and her mother, Bonnie (Janney), the show also tackles some really important crisis situations like substance abuse, sexual assault, and the many roadblocks that come with surprise teenage pregnancies, side by side showing the hilarious relationship and subtle resentments and pride that exist between mothers and daughters. But what the show also revolves around are the lives of Christy and Bonnie's three closest friends - Marjorie, Jill, and a certain Wendy, whose super power is pretty much crying at everything. Or so fans of the show thought until this currently airing sixth season where suddenly Wendy is a lot sassier and brimming with dark humor.
