Shelly's Parents

Post by Jerry Horne »

Are Shelly's parents mentioned in any of the scripts? She is the only young character that does not mention her parents at all. I wonder if they lived in Twin Peaks?

I dunno. She must have been a latchkey child with absentee parents with her dropping out of high school and marrying Mr. Scumbag, Leo.

i'm guessing they disowned her for dropping out and marrying leo. i would have....and i wonder how long shelly had been married to leo? i'm guessing she had to have been at the very maximum age of 16 when she met him. they never say her exact age but i'm guessing she's supposed to be 18 or 19.

Laura was certainly not a 'latchkey child' with absentee parents and look what happened to her. Besides, Leo at least took the time out of his busy schedule to show Shelly the proper way to clean the floors.

Way to stick by your hypothetical Child Brad D! Maybe Shelly chose Leo as revenge against her parents for the rotten upbringing?

At least Leo provides Shelly with a roof over her head. Well, more like sturdy plastic sheeting.

He also likes to play sports with her - one of the all time Johnson family faves Soap In a Sock.
