    Loathsome Characters Wiki

    Stephanie Mills (All in the Family)

    This page needs some cleaning up to meet Loathsome Characters Wiki's quality standards.

    The following reason has been specified: Short page and no infobox.
    If this page looks good to you, you may remove this template.

    Stephanie Mills is a character from season 9 of All in the Family and the follow-up series Archie Bunker's Place. She is Archie Bunker's grandniece who's taken in and cared for by the Bunkers after her father, Floyd Mills, abandoned her on the doorstep to extort some money.

    She was portrayed by then-child actress Danielle Brisebois, who joined the show in 1978.

    Why She Sucks

    1. She's yet another example of a "pointless child addition towards the end of a sitcom" character, similar to Sparky except the latter is a dog.
      • To make things worse, Gloria and Mike had a baby named Joey during Season 6 in a similar ratings ploy, which makes her existence even more pointless.
    2. Her character can be pretty offensive to Jews since Stephanie reveals herself to be Jewish and extremely liberal in her views contrasted to Archie. Does that even sound awfully familiar or something?
    3. She seems to only exist to give Archie a reason to grow softer, which the series had never built up on or would have welcomed the change.
    4. Her character is also known for placing too much sentimentality on a series that's famous for having realistic, thought-provoking conversations and plots.
    5. The show later got a spin-off series where she was the lead for some reason, and Archie's a widow managing his bar. This can easily get longtime fans frustrated if they barely tolerated her in the original series.

    Redeeming Qualities

    1. At least she's a talented very singer and dancer, which does make her a bit interesting.
    2. Danielle Brisebois does a great job portraying Stephanie Mills.
