the ranch (tv series)
michelle phillips plays abby malone (recurring, season 7–9), who is valerie's mother, from whom valerie is estranged after her father dies. she was friends with jim and cindy walsh before the malone family moved to buffalo. she almost ends up marrying kelly's father bill, but is left at the altar. valerie later breaks up her mother's relationship with a cop to punish her for not stopping her father from molesting her. at first, abby denies knowing that valerie was molested by her father, but later admits that she knew and that he had promised to get help, not seeming that concerned that he lied to her and continued to sexually assault valerie. she initially blames valerie for her husband's death and threatens to turn her in after val confesses to killing him (in self-defense, while he was trying to molest her); when she initially decides not to go to the cops, she tells her daughter she doesn't forgive her, basically claims that valerie was dating her father rather than being raped by him, and simply wants to keep the secret. valerie later goes to the cops to turn herself in, and abby finally forgives her, saying nothing that happened to her was her fault and valerie can and must forgive herself too. valerie tells the group in the series finale that abby has joined her for therapy to deal with bill's actions and their relationship is now much better and stronger than before. abby malone appeared in nine episodes.
