As promised, Wednesday season 2 continued to expand the Addams Family\u2019s role in the story. Guest characters like Morticia and Gomez stepped into supporting capacities. Additionally, the show introduced more beloved characters from the franchise. Luckily, there was no shortage of odd and eccentric members in the Addams Family tree<\/a> to add to the Netflix show. <\/p>\n The newest additions to Wednesday are Grandmama Frump<\/a>, Varicose, and Ophelia. By far, the most surprising and fun addition to the group was the pet Venus flytrap Cleopatra. However, they missed out on the perfect opportunity to introduce an underrated Addams Family character who would enhance Thing\u2019s story arc.<\/p>\n Thing Has A Fianc\u00e9e Named Lady Fingers In The Addams Family<\/p>\n Lady Fingers and Thing meet in The Addams Family (1964)<\/p>\n In the Addams Family franchise, Thing isn\u2019t the only disembodied hand that joins the eccentric family. In the 1964 sitcom, Princess Aunt Millie comes to visit Morticia and Gomez in the episode \u201cMorticia Meets Royalty,\u201d and she brings along her handmaiden \u2013 a literal hand.<\/p>\n Aunt Millie’s handmaiden is Lady Fingers, and she is immediately taken with Thing. Like Thing, she’s a hand that lives in a box. She frequently wears jewelry and has her nails done. Unlike Thing’s box, Lady Fingers’ box is decorated with gems and baroque-style fabric.<\/p>\n She goes along with Millie when the aunt leaves the Addams\u2019 home, but the impact of her leaving her soulmate is clear. By the end of the episode, Thing plans to propose to her, and she accepts. By the time they appear in Halloween with the New Addams Family, the two appear to be married, and she’s working as Grandmama Frump’s handmaid.<\/p>\n Although they give her a new backstory, The New Addams Family Series brings back the underrated character, making her the love interest of Thing once again. They meet when Cousin Pretensia brings Lady Fingers to the Addams Family\u2019s home. They fall in love. They\u2019re once again separated. However, by the end of the episode, they reunite and get engaged.<\/p>\n The fact that Thing gets a major storyline and romance in the original sitcom proves that he’s just as significant a member of the Addams Family as the humans. <\/p>\n Wednesday Season 2\u2019s Should\u2019ve Introduced Lady Fingers In The Support Group<\/p>\n Christopher Lloyd as Professor Orloff in Wednesday season 2<\/p>\n Although he was already important in season 1, Thing’s emotional journey as a dismembered hand is one of the biggest subplots in Wednesday season 2. He struggles with the fact that he doesn\u2019t know where he came from or have anyone who relates to him. Consequently, he decides to join a support group for \u201cparts\u201d that are disconnected from the whole. <\/p>\n There are a surprisingly large number of attendees, allowing Thing to feel connected with other people like him. This would have been the perfect moment to introduce Lady Fingers in Wednesday. She could have also attended the group alongside Thing. Since none of the others are dismembered hands, Lady Fingers and Thing would likely have clicked.<\/p>\n The presence of Lady Fingers would\u2019ve been a fun deep-cut for fans of The Addams Family. It would\u2019ve fulfilled the promise to introduce more characters from The Addams Family. What\u2019s more, Thing and Lady Fingers\u2019 storyline would\u2019ve deepened Thing\u2019s storyline. He would\u2019ve had emotional support from someone with firsthand experience as he learned about his past.<\/p>\n Thing Deserves To Have A Romance Just Like Everyone Else<\/p>\n Wednesday season 2 acknowledges the harsh reality<\/a> that the Addams Family treats Lurch and Thing like they\u2019re servants, rather than actual members of the family. It\u2019s hard to see how inconsiderate they are towards Thing, especially since he plays such a big role in Netflix\u2019s Wednesday.<\/p>\n While Wednesday\u2019s script gives Thing more agency than the family does, it feels like the script also treats Thing like a plot device instead of a character. Thing doesn\u2019t get many storylines that focus just on him. His friendship with Enid and the support group are the only two times when it seems like it\u2019s his story. <\/p>\n It could be argued that Thing finding out his connection to Isaac is his storyline. However, that revelation still felt like an afterthought compared to Puglsey and the Zombie, or Isaac\u2019s relationship with Franciose<\/a>, or Gomez\u2019s powers getting stolen. <\/p>\n Thing should be given the same storylines as every other supporting character. He deserves character development like Enid and Bianca. He deserves to prank people like Agnes. What\u2019s more, he deserves romance like Wednesday and Enid. I\u2019m willing to bet that fans who hated the romance subplots still would\u2019ve jumped on board with Thing and Lady Fingers.<\/p>\n Wednesday Season 3 Could Still Introduce Lady Fingers<\/p>\n Even though Wednesday season 2 missed the perfect opportunity to introduce Lady Fingers, season 3 could make up for the oversight by introducing her. Luckily, they have another prime opportunity based on the way Wednesday season 2 part 2\u2019s ending<\/a> set up the upcoming Addams Family mysteries storyline. <\/p>\n In Halloween with the New Addams Family, Lady Fingers is a handmaiden to Grandmama Frump. The third season set up Grandmama Frump as a bigger presence since she\u2019s keeping Ophelia captive. It seems inevitable that Wednesday, Thing, and maybe even Uncle Fester will most likely go to Grandmama\u2019s house at some point, now that Wednesday knows that Ophelia\u2019s alive.<\/p>\n Thing could meet Lady Fingers when Wednesday goes to confront Grandmama Frump about Ophelia\u2019s captivity in Wednesday season 3<\/a>. Lady Fingers could be the handmaiden of the family matriarch, like she was in Halloween with the New Addams Family. When they meet, Thing and Lady Fingers could hit it up and start a romance.<\/p>\n The only reason that Wednesday\u2019s team might be hesitant to add Lady Fingers is that it would add more to the CGI budget. They would have to green-screen another actor who plays Lady Fingers. However, the addition of the underrated Addams Family character in Wednesday would be worth the cost.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t 8\/10<\/p>\n Release Date<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tNovember 23, 2022<\/p>\n Network<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tNetflix<\/p>\n Showrunner<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMiles Millar, Alfred Gough<\/p>\n![\"Lady](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/lady-fingers-and-thing-meet-in-the-addams-family-1964.jpg\"\/)
