It’s been over 10 years since fans met the Duncan family on the Disney Channel original series Good Luck Charlie. With 3 other siblings, which eventually turned into 4 siblings, Teddy Duncan goes through life while making video diaries for her younger sister.
A number of those video diaries feature Teddy’s eccentric mom, Amy Duncan. She may be known for her love for theater and going to Southwest Denver Community College. But above anything else, Amy Duncan loved her family and her children, no matter what Gabe Duncan said.
This character was portrayed by actor Leigh-Allyn Baker, who later took to social media to share her thoughts on a number of political events. For fans, those opinions weren’t exactly mutual.
