Every episode of 'Cruel Summer' has us at the fringe of our seats. If you are wondering what the heck happened to Jeanette's mom, who mysteriously vanished, you are not by myself.
We didn't expect this many twists and turns from Freeform's mystery drama, Cruel Summer. But right here we are, revisiting each Cruel Summer Reddit thread and googling each theory that's popped into our heads. Like, what's up with those mirrors in Martin's basement? Or Kate's eating room decor alternate? And will have to we be suspicious of Mallory? Is Annabelle's Kate's alter-ego?
Something else that is been bothering viewers is what happened to Jeanette's mom, Cindy. She isn't round anymore, and it's making us wonder what happened.
What happened to Jeannette's mom in 'Cruel Summer'?
The 1995 photos in Cruel Summer presentations that Cindy, Jeanette's mom, is not living with the family anymore. Something most likely happened between Cindy and Jeanette's dad, Greg, and it's without a doubt over Jeanette's involvement (in whatever capacity that can be) with Kate's abduction, but we don't know the details simply yet. We know that Cindy is suspicious about what Jeanette did or did not do, however does that lead to the fracture inside the Turner family?
Sarah Drew, who plays Cindy, talked to TVLine and shared a couple of main points which are lovely insightful.
In terms of what happens between Jeanette, Cindy, and Greg, Sarah says:
"You are definitely going to continue to see some twists and turns in the Turner family for sure. There is a general sense in the relational dynamic that [Greg] and Jeanette have always been two peas in a pod and as close as Cindy is with Jeanette there are some things that she does not tell Mom because Mom would fly off the handle and Dad is much more easygoing about it. So when rumors start to fly and things start to be said and people start talking, it does begin to cause some drama in the family dynamic."Does Cindy really feel like she's no less than partially to blame for what happened? She was the popular lady back when she used to be in high school, and possibly some of that power to be perfect rubbed off in Jeanette in actually terrible techniques.
Sarah shares:
"Cindy’s really an interesting character, but I think a lot of her identity is built on the way that she presents herself and her family unit. If she has a successful family, is a successful mother, the mother of successful children, then she will feel like she is OK and her identity is intact. But when things start to crumble, in terms of not only is her daughter not successful in this moment but she’s now being verbally attacked and the whole family is getting attacked, you’re going to see some spicy stuff. It definitely impacts Cindy in a pretty big way."One viewer tweeted, "It's Cindy's fault. She has made her feel like she has to be popular."
It's Cindy's fault. She has made her really feel like she has to be well-liked #CruelSummer
— Meg 💛💛 (Life's A Show) (@Lifesashow13) May 12, 2021It feels like we're going to in the end to find out where Cindy is, however obviously the suspense is killing us. “The handiest thing I will be able to tell you is that you are going to in the end find out where she is in 1995, however I will be able to’t in truth say the rest beyond that,” Sarah told Us Weekly.
