Linda Duncan is the paternal grandmother of PJ, Teddy, Gabe, Charlie and Toby. She’s the mother of Bob and the ex-wife of Frank. She made her first real appearance in Welcome Home and a gag appearance in Dress Mess. She’s portrayed by Shirley Jones.

Background Information[]

She lives in Phoenix, Arizona. She and Frank Duncan got married and had their son, Bob. Frank and Linda are split up prior to It's a Charlie Duncan Thanksgiving. She has a bit of a habit with using the words "what not" to the annoyance of her daughter-in-law Amy. In A Duncan Christmas, she has gray hair, when in Welcome Home she has blonde hair, suggesting she dyed her hair or was wearing a wig. She and Amy dislike each other, but in A Duncan Christmas, they sing Deck the Halls with each other.

Gag[]

  • In Dress Mess, in the ending credits, Linda was portrayed by Eric Allan Kramer, but was named Gladys, and was meant to look exactly like Bob. She asked the Doctor what gender her new grandchild will be. She looks like Bob but has grey hair, wears pink and carries a handbag with glasses. The doctor assumed she was Bob in disguise, but then Bob came out with Gladys. These ending credits were just a joke and were not meant to be true.

Appearances[]

Trivia[]

  • It‘s possible that Linda's last name isn’t currently Duncan as she divorced her husband, Frank Duncan, and may have changed back to her maiden name which is currently unknown.
