“#’This Is Us’ Writers Debunk Season 5 Theory About Randall’s Mom<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

[Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for the Season 5 Premiere of This Is Us<\/i>, “Forty: Part 1” & “Forty: Part 2”]<\/strong><\/p>\n

This Is Us <\/em>delivered one of its biggest twists yet in the Season 5 two-hour premiere, revealing what really happ<\/a>ened to Randall’s (Sterling K. Brown) biological mother Laurel (Jennifer C. Holmes) after his birth.<\/p>\n

In the final moments of “Forty: Part 2,” viewers learn that Laurel survived the overdose that Randall’s father William (Jermel Nakia) believed to have killed her. The revelation spurred a number of social media<\/a> fan theories about Laurel’s role in the show moving forward.<\/p>\n

One such theory ties to another development from the premiere’s final moments \u2014 Randall is leaving therapist Dr. Leigh’s (Pamela Adlon) care to seek help from a Black therapist. “I need something different,” Randall tells Dr. Leigh on the phone during his ride back to his Philly from the Pearson family cabin. “I’m gonna make a change and find a Black therapist.”<\/p>\n

Taking both big reveals into account, several viewers made an interesting prediction: Randall’s birth mother Laurel will end up being as his new therapist.<\/p>\n

While it certainly seems on par with twists fans have come to know and love from the show, This Is Us<\/em> writers are already debunking the theory.<\/p>\n

“She is not going to end up as Randall\u2019s therapist,” tweeted<\/a> the official This Is Us<\/em> Writers account following the premiere episode’s broadcast.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And don’t forget, Randall’s new therapist could always be a man. Creator Dan Fogelman told reporters that “he or she becomes a recurring part” in the series<\/a>, adding that the role will start as soon as “the next episode.”<\/p>\n

Whether Randall’s mother Laurel is still alive in the present remains to be seen, but he’s definitely going to have a new therapist soon \u2014 so who should play him or her? Considering the show’s history of standout guest stars, we know it’ll be someone great.<\/p>\n

If Randall’s therapist is a woman, we’re dream-casting actresses like Lynn Whitfield, Loretta Divine, Octavia Spencer or Viola Davis. If it’s a man, how about Keith David, Dennis Haysbert or Louis Gossett Jr.? So many great options!<\/p>\n

Don’t miss the possible therapist reveal as This Is Us<\/em> Season 5 continues on NBC.<\/p>\n
