"Fogelman also recently said season three will see a deep-dive into Beth’s backstory to shed light on the younger years that fostered her strength and big heart. When given the early scripts of the series, it’s a given part of the actor’s job to fill in the blanks not found on the page. Watson developed, for instance, the idea that Beth is of Caribbean descent (both Watson and Beth are Jamaican-American) and since the pilot, she has had a hand in helping to paint Beth’s story by giving feedback to the writers.
When asked about any Beth-heavy episodes to come, Watson said she hopes to see more of her character's family. “I want to see her family. I want to see their faces, and I want to see what they’re like because I know so much about the Pearson side,” she said. “I want to see what that side of the family is and where she came from because she’s interesting to me. She’s different from me in so many ways. None of my life as Susan resembles Beth’s, but I feel like there is something about where she came from that I’m familiar with.”"
But also, I *need* Randall's birthmom's (Laurel's) story!!!!! I will be very upset if we do not get this because it would not make sense at all. Randall wanted to know more about his birthmother yet we have seen very little about her.
I need more of this...
I also need more about her before she met William! He did not seem to know her long and there is probably a lot he didn't know. Maybe Randall could do some genaeology and meet someone who knew her earlier and longer.
Please, Dan Fogelman et al. Do not drop the ball on this!!
We've already praised This Is Us for being one of the best shows on television but last night's episode has raised the bar as the best episode of the season.

Sterling K. Brown as Randall Pearson & Ron Cephas Jones as William Hill/ Jermel Nakia sit down for a no-holds-barred deep dive on a show that broke your heart, in This Is Us Season 1 Episode 16 "Memphis."
As for Randall’s late biological father, “a lot more William coming this season, we have a big storyline coming up,” Fogelman said.
I *really* hope that doesn't only mean seeing older William (Ron Cephas Jones) but also younger William (Jermel Nakia). I love older William but it is younger William we need more of to understand his full story. And we *need* to learn about Randall's birthmom, Laurel. And Jermel Nakia is as fabulous as Ron Cephas Jones.
