Biography[]

Doris is one of the 1% extremely wealthy Westport housewives and meets Katie and Angela everyday at a restaurant to give advice and unwind. She's there to give advice, albeit not always helpful, but regardless always there to aid Katie.

Personality[]

Doris is a complex person, she flaunts her wealth proudly and regularly exhibits her oddity on a regular basis. She keeps up a brazen attitude and prides herself on manipulating people to get the results she desires, advice she gives to Katie when her household is fulled on an uprising. She apparently tore her kids down, so she could mold them into perfect, above-and-beyond prodigies (in music and art). She's a mother of four kids and disciplines them harshly. Molding them into perfectionists and overachievers, they are strictly disciplined in mannerisms. An example is when Marigold was told she could call Katie by her first name, she received a death glare from Doris and nervously said she couldn't. Doris is an undiagnosed sociopath because she “knows how to beat the test.”

Doris’ parenting methods have constantly been questioned by Katie and Angela, often being asked the question if she ever wondered if one day her kids would want to murder her.
