A scene from Inventing the Abbotts 1997

Joan Abbott

Jacey needs to be disciplined.

Helen Holt

I don't think that's neccesary.

Joan Abbott

Well if I were you, I'd talk to him, and--.

Helen Holt

No, Joan, I'm not going to do that. If you've got something to say to my son, you're going to have to say it to him yourself.

Joan Abbott

I just thought you would like to know what your son has done.

Helen Holt

And why on Earth should I believe anything you say, Joan.

She disappeared from Haley, vanished or banished, no one knew for certain. But life with the Abbotts went on without her. Doug Holt Hey Jacey... Remember the time I got my dick caught in my zipper? Remember in school, in the first grade? Narrator/Older Doug A year later, the impossible finally happened. One of the Holt boys married one of the Abbott girls. We have two daughters. I named the youngest Helen after my mom.
