Karen Mayron

Karen Mayron is Dusty Mayron’s second wife, Adrianna’s mother, Roger’s ex-wife, and stepmother to Megan and Dylan Mayron. She is a highly attractive doctor/novelist, but she is often depicted as a bit of a rebel and a poor parent, which unnerves and causes insecurity in Sara, especially since the latter worries about Adrianna being a bad influence on Megan. This is reinforced by the fact that Karen writes about Sara, which worries Sara as she at first believes Karen is depicting her in a bad light. She divorced Roger some time ago before remarrying Dusty, although she ends up in a similar position to Sara when Dusty meets and is intimidated by Roger, her ex. Karen is quite the poor parent despite loving her daughter, as she openly shoplifts (which she calls “living a little” even though this sets a highly bad example for Adrianna), depicting a rebellious and bad side, nor is she depicted as being close to her daughter other than spoiling her with Dusty, and did not care if Adrianna and Megan drank alcoholic eggnog, which is illegal and dangerous for underage children, but she was worried when Adrianna fell from her platform being drunk, showing she does have a responsible side. She and Sara butt heads when Sara accuses Karen of being an irresponsible mother due to Adrianna and Megan getting drunk, causing Karen to retort Megan could have easily been the one behind the drinking, however it is obvious and clear it was Adrianna that was behind it. She later gets mad at Dusty for calling Adrianna a brat. However, she makes up with both Dusty and Sara after a blizzard traps them at the movies, where she reveals her writing of Sara is actually in a very good light, focusing on Sara’s positive traits, which causes the two mothers to reconcile.
