***READ FIRST!!!***

Listen. LISTEN!

I know the majority of the fandom agrees that Mrs. Burns was likely a great loving mother that died, probably due to illness or complications with Cody’s birth. AND I WHOLEHEARTEDLY AGREE THAT THAT IS MOST LIKELY WHAT HAPPENED.

I love Good Mother!Mama Burns

However! ANGST.

Let’s say, Mrs. Burns isn’t gone because she died. (It would make sense why they have nothing to remember her by around the house!) Why would she be gone then?

What does the fandom think is the most likely cause of her being out of the picture, if not death?

I saw your post about Cody's belongings. I noticed the pictures in the background. There's one of Charlie, a triple set of the brothers, a smaller solo frame of Dani, one of Dani with Cody. (Cute note: the photos have Cody when he was 9-10.) And there's six or seven that are blurry or have a glare. I was wondering if you knew any more about that, or saw any hint of Mrs. Burns.

I’m sure if there was any hint of Mrs. Burns the fandom would have scoped it out by now, lol. Unfortunately I don’t think there is any hint of Mrs. Burns at all in the show, but maybe you could imagine that one or a couple of the blurry pictures has her in it?

Okay, I skimmed through season 4 and these are all the times you can see that back wall, even briefly.

I’m impressed with the continuity of these pictures, honestly. It was rather pessimistic of me going into this to assume there would be errors! (And then there’s the layout of the house, which confuses and baffles me beyond belief and does have errors.)

4 pictures along the stairs, emergency phone, pic of Charlie, small blurry pic, three set of the boys (in the same order each time), a long blurry pic underneath it, pic of Dani, pic of what looks like some sort of landscape beside it, two blurry pics, pic of Dani with Cody. The frames are always the same colors too.

Okay so, after looking at genetic calculators, if we want to assume the Burns Siblings™️ are biologically related and all have the same mother, then*:

Mama Burns cannot be a full redhead (0% blond children) or a full blond (0% redhead children).

If she is strawberry blonde, she has a higher chance of having strawberry blond children than straight up blond children.

If she is brunette, there is only a 1% higher chance of her having blond children than strawberry blond, but less chance of her having full redhead children.

Given she had a full redhead child first and then had a reddish-brunette, I’m more inclined to believe she was a strawberry blonde and not a brunette.

And I now firmly believe Graham Burns is not a dirty blond as I had originally thought, but a strawberry blond.
