From Lorelai Gilmore to Joyce Byers: Take a look at the strong moms from English series who ended up being too special

Not all superheroes wear capes - some wear smiles, baggage of struggles, and love. When everything feels anonymous, the audience switches to series, only to find the radiant characters that make us feel warm.

These moms from the English series have given us memories of unconditional love and comfort. However, these moms went out of their way to be fierce, powerful, and successful. They’re the ones who enter the battlefield for their children and lead the way with smiles. Take a look at the strong MOMs of TV that never made anyone feel alone.

2/7

Lorelai Gilmore

Lorelai Gilmore, the iconic mother from ‘Gilmore Girls,’ shared values with her daughter, Rory, more than love for coffee. Lorelai raised Rory on her own terms, against all the possible odds. While she might’ve faced challenges, she didn’t let Rory affect her dreams. With the tradition, memories, and independent flair, Lorelai Gilmore stands true to her beliefs.

3/7

​Xiomara Villanueva

Xiomara Villanueva, the sassy mother from ‘Jane the Virgin,’ brings passion and loyalty to her home. Xiomara’s fierce attitude led Jane to believe that one can be successful and shape their own story despite unlikely circumstances. Xiomara is strong as a shield who protects her family, and embraces her flaws by keeping her heart on her sleeve.

4/7

Georgia Miller

Georgia Miller, the fierce mother from ‘Ginny & Georgia,’ might’ve a few imperfections, but she owns it like a queen. Georgia calls out her daughter for wrongdoings with the same energy that she uses to protect Ginny from the evil eye. To have a peaceful life is her goal, and Georgia will do anything to achieve it.

5/7

Violet Bridgerton

Violet Bridgerton, the endearing mother from ‘Bridgerton,’ channels femininity with power and grace. Violet leads the entire family by pulling the perfect strings required for the situation. Whether it’s protecting the children or encouraging them to love, Lady Bridgerton handles circumstances alone. In the era of choosing to marry for money, Violet exemplifies a rebel who leads the radical pack, with a graceful smile.

6/7

Claire Dunphy

Claire Dunphy, the truthful mother from the ‘Modern Family,’ is messy, but she holds her children dear. After facing issues in her childhood, she vowed to be the greatest mother, and Claire indeed is. Somehow, Claire manages wildly different kids, a goofy husband, and her career (with the sips of wine, of course). Claire is passionate about her family and shows up for them, no matter what.

7/7

Joyce Byers

Joyce Byers, the ride-or-die mother from ‘Stranger Things,’ is the independent woman who never gives up. Joyce fights for her children in adverse circumstances, and when everyone demanded that she stop believing, Joyce didn’t lose her faith. Whether it's Christmas lights or monsters, Joyce will look through the dangerous dark tunnel to find her children in the light.
