• She manages to make the senile (or maybe not) Mrs. Donaghy really funny while still making the fact that her and Jack put up with each other seem at least somewhat realistic. Only appeared once during 2008 but it was a great appearance that really showed off her comedy skills. --The-jam 17:51, 19 February 2009 (EST)
