Meet the Parents

Although most of the characters' parents are never seen, they are sometimes mentioned.

At the Flashforward 2006 Seattle public appearance, The Brothers Chaps revealed that emails they receive asking about the characters' parents are one of the groups of emails that are virtually certain not to be answered.
