Helen Patterson, Surprisingly, Decides to Throw Away Her Marriage for an Old Flame
In Season 4, while Mary Jane makes the unexpected leap from Atlanta to NYC, we find out that back home, things are a hot a– mess. Her mother, Helen (played by Margaret Avery), who no longer seems to have any issues with lupus, is having a full-blown affair with an ex-boyfriend named Frank (Fred Williamson). This man, interesting enough, was someone she was with before settling down with Paul (Richard Roundtree), and he ends up being the actual father of Patrick Patterson, MJ’s eldest brother. All of this information and drama causes Paul to decide to divorce Helen, which is not a shock, but was still a surprise, as it breaks up the family we’ve come to love.
