[[folder: Deborah Larsson]]
--> Appearances: ''Janet King'' (Series 2)
--> Portrayed by: Genevieve Hegney
* BabiesEverAfter: [[spoiler: After a long and bitter dispute, Janet allows Deborah to have Ashleigh's refrigerated embryo, giving her a chance at having a child of her own.]]
* ObnoxiousInLaws: Subverted. Her request to have Ashleigh's refrigerated embryo is understandable enough, given that Janet is a single mother with two children of her own while Deborah has a husband and can't conceive on her own. Janet's only reason for keeping it was to hold onto one last part of Asheligh, so in a way it's ''Janet'' who is the obnoxious in-law.
* RuleOfSymbolism: [[spoiler: Tony Gilles had earlier pointed out that Deborah's chances of conceiving even with an implanted embryo were remote. Janet helping her anyway is a gesture of kindness.]]
