Sybil

That living arrangement produces some friction and good-natured barbs, but Sybil, as played by Lavin, always leads with love and a generous spirit.

“Mid-Century Modern” showrunners Max Mutchnick and David Kohan had considered a few women for the role of Sybil Schneiderman, mother of Lane’s character, Bunny — one of three gay friends who decide to live together, following the death of a fourth, in a Palm Springs home also occupied by Sybil.

Titled “Here’s to You, Mrs. Schneiderman,” the half-hour finds Lane’s Bunny recounting Sybil’s death, using details that mirrored Lavin’s own passing.

West and Scales, 92, who played Sybil Fawlty in Fawlty Towers, appeared in the documentary series Great Canal Journeys between 2014 and 2021, which saw them travelling on narrowboats.

In “Bug Hollow,” Ellis is the only son of Phil and Sybil Samuelson.
