* BasementDweller: Some dialogue stated that she and her husband lived with Peggy's grandparents (likely implied to be her parents) until after Anita was born, judging by the ages of Anita and Peggy, it was UsefulNotes/TheGreatDepression and would have been harder for Mr. Olson to afford a house.

Added DiffLines:

* TheAlcoholic: Once she marries Roger, she's rarely seen in a non-intoxicated state, to the point of embarrassing Roger in public.


Added DiffLines:

* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: From the first moment she walked into Sterling Cooper, her aim to land herself a well-heeled man is obvious to all. But once she gets Roger, she finds herself miserable, lonely, and with a tendency to [[DrowningMySorrows drown her sorrows.]]


Added DiffLines:

* OutOfFocus: She's introduced as a wily, even somewhat manipulative character in Season 2, one that can even go toe-to-toe with Joan for dominance of the office. But after her marriage to Roger, we rarely see her at all, and when we do she's often drunk, incoherent, and making a fool of herself.

* ForgottenFallenFriend: His suicide is depicted as having a devastating impact on Don, but he's rarely mentioned or referenced after the first season. That said, Don sees a vision of him in "The Phantom" as a manifestation of guilt that he feels following Lane Pryce's suicide, so it's made clear Adam's death lingers, even if subconsciously.

Roger's secon wife. Starts out as Don's secretary, quickly gaining Joan's mistrust thanks to her attention-grabbing wardrobe choices and rather unsubtle flirting with male colleagues. Joan would have fired her if not for Roger's intervention; Roger subsequently starts an affair with her and divorces Mona to marry her, despite the embarrassing fact that she's not much older than Roger's daughter.
