The Widow Hutchison is the short-tempered mother of Dr. Hutchison. Mrs. Hutchison has two hooks for hands since she lost both her hands in a horrible accident, like her daughter, Dr. Hutchison, and is ardently opposed to Filburt and Paula's wedding. She is very hostile towards him throughout the episodes "The Big Question" and "The Big Answer", claiming that love between cats and turtles to be un-natural when in reality she's afraid that he'll hurt Dr. Hutchison (that is, emotionally, just as she believes her husband did to her). At the end of "The Big Answer" Widow Hutchison is joyfully reunited with her estranged husband Frank Hutchison telling him "Frankie, wait! I still love you!" Ironically, Frank happens to be a turtle, despite the Widow Hutchison's prejudices against them. Widow Hutchison was voiced by Kevin Meany. Even though her name is Widow Hutchison, her husband is still alive. Widow Hutchison wants to protect her daughter from Filburt.
Behind the scenes[]
Name[]
Despite being referred to as a "widow", her husband is very much alive. The fact that she dresses in black may be in reference that she sees her husband as "dead to her" because of his species, even though she still harbors feelings for him.
Voice[]
Widow Hutchison was voiced by late comedian Kevin Meaney. At one point, she even uses Meaney's catchphrase, "That's not right!"
