Mom follows Christy Plunkett ( Anna Faris ), a single mother who, after dealing with her battle with alcoholism and drug abuse, decides to restart her life in Napa, California, working as a waitress and attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings. Her mother Bonnie Plunkett ( Allison Janney ) is also a recovering addict. Christy 's daughter, Violet ( Sadie Calvano ), who was born when Christy was 16, has also become a teen mother by her boyfriend, Luke ( Spencer Daniels ). Christy also has a young son, Roscoe ( Blake Garrett Rosenthal ) by her ex-husband, Baxter ( Matt L. Jones ), a deadbeat but likable pothead. As the show progresses, it adds themes of real - life issues such as alcoholism, teen pregnancy, homelessness, gambling addiction, domestic violence, obesity, rape, drug addiction, relapse and drug overdose. Cast and characters Main Anna Faris as Christy Jolene Plunkett : a single mother who has gone four years without drinking and is still struggling with addiction and gambling. Now sober, she strives to be a good example to her son Roscoe, and regain the trust of her daughter Violet, who is revealed to be pregnant herself in the first episode. In addition, she is trying to iron out the rough edges in her relationship with her mother Bonnie, who never learned to play her role well and who would rather go out and drink than baby - sit. Christy later finds out that her biological father ran out on Bonnie on Christmas Eve, the day before Christy was born, and locates the man as a now - married father of two sons who runs an auto repair shop. Allison Janney as Bonnie Plunkett : Christy 's mother, a joyful if cynical recovering addict. She tries to regain the love and trust of her daughter, whom she was unable to properly nurture as a child. Bonnie started drinking at 15 years old. She was in the foster care system being ricocheted around from house to house and kept running off with Alvin. She ended up pregnant and had Christy, however Alvin abandoned them at the hospital. Bonnie nearly put Christy up for adoption. A pleasant Jewish couple was going to adopt her, yet Bonnie pulled out finally. From that point on, she attempted her best to raise Christy, however Christy wound up raising herself as Bonnie drank heavily and took tranquilizes and got back home late. A single mother, she preferred to party and drink rather than stay home. With time and much therapy, Bonnie managed to find the balance and now wants to catch up, revealing to Christy her past, including who her real father is and how to find him, as well as her past side career as a drug dealer. Sadie Calvano as Violet Plunkett ( main cast seasons 1 -- 3 ; recurring season 4 ) : Christy 's daughter and older half - sister of Roscoe. A senior in high school at the beginning of the series, Violet is hardworking, smart and sure of herself, though upset with her mother, who never had time to take care of her children and failed to fulfill a true motherly role despite now being sober for some time. After having her boyfriend Luke 's baby, Violet made the decision to place her baby for adoption because she felt that this was the best way to break her family 's repeated cycle of poor life choices and give her child a better chance than she, her mother, or her grandmother ever had. During season 2, in a brief downward spiral of bad behavior, Violet cheats on Luke and he breaks up with her. She later gets engaged to Gregory Munchnik, a psychology professor at her university, but he breaks the engagement after she relapses - she has since been behaving in a gold digger-esque manner with other men. She got back together with Luke in Season 4. Nate Corddry as Gabriel ( main cast seasons 1 -- 2 ) : the manager of the restaurant where Christy works. Married to a domineering woman who scares him somewhat, Gabriel and Christy are carrying on an affair which Christy later ends but which Gabriel himself frequently and desperately tries to renew : they briefly resume their affair in season 2 when Christy is promoted as his replacement. He is a hardworking, competent manager, but often put in his place by his subordinates, particularly Chef Rudy. Matt Jones as Baxter ( main cast seasons 1 -- 3 ; recurring season 4 ; guest season 5 ) : Christy 's ex-husband and the father of Roscoe. Sweet and charming, but very unstable, he is unable to maintain a serious relationship or steady work for much longer than a month. Loves easy life and frequently gets into fraudulent deals to make money. Despite his flaws, he is a loving father who usually comes through for his son. During season 2, under the influence of his wealthy new girlfriend Candace, Baxter gives up his slacker ways and becomes a car salesman. French Stewart as Chef Rudy ( main cast seasons 1 -- 2 ; guest seasons 3 and 5 ) : the head chef for the restaurant where Christy works as a waitress. A dominant and difficult self - made man, Rudy acts superior in his relationships with others. He is boastful and arrogant, often yelling at his subordinates without mincing words and will not hesitate to humiliate anyone who opposes him. He is secretive about his past and distant from people, but briefly dates Bonnie at one point : during this time, he is revealed to be a ( bi ) sexual fetishist with expensive tastes and hobbies who enjoys stealing food from the restaurant. Spencer Daniels as Luke ( main cast season 1 ; recurring season 2 ; guest season 4 ) : a young student who loves to enjoy life and adventure. He had been dating Violet for a little over a year and got her pregnant. Luke is considerably airheaded, smoking marijuana often, but always tries to prove to Christy that he is not as crazy as he appears : he seems to genuinely love Violet, staying beside her and supporting her throughout her pregnancy, and he is often more sensitive towards Christy than her own children are, perhaps because his parents are religious fundamentalists with whom he does not connect. In season 2, Violet, during her downward spiral, cheated on Luke and he broke up with Violet. By season 4, Luke has apparently cleaned himself up and got a high - paying job with a video game company, driving Violet to get back together with him.

Recurring Octavia Spencer as Regina Tompkins ( seasons 1 -- 3 ) : A fellow AA member and money manager who embezzled from her clients and is now facing a prison sentence. While a close if questionable friend to Christy, Regina and Bonnie typically hold each other in contempt, but beneath the surface they bear some affection for each other. In the middle of season 2, she is given early parole and becomes a born - again Christian, eventually moving in with Jill. Regina drifts apart from her friends after she decides she is no longer an alcoholic, essentially choosing wine over her friends, and struggles alone with the dissonance after moving into her own apartment and out of Jill 's mansion. Kevin Pollak as Alvin Lester Biletnikoff ( seasons 1 -- 2 ) : Christy 's father and Bonnie 's ex-boyfriend who abandoned them when Christy was born. When Christy found Alvin he was married with two sons ; despite that he loves Christy and does what he can to be in her life and help out, including fixing up a used car to give her and attempting to reach out to her children as a grandparent. He and Bonnie initially treated each other with contempt and hatred over the various mistakes each of them has made in their past, but they rekindled their relationship after his wife left him and he survived a heart attack.

Mom was one of the many projects that became a priority for CBS and Warner Bros when it was pitched in December 2012, in part due to Lorre 's new four - year deal with Warner the previous September. It was green - lit by CBS for a series order pickup on May 9, 2013. This pickup also gives Lorre the distinction of having four sitcoms airing on one network starting in the 2013 -- 14 season. The following week, the network announced that it would place the sitcom in the Monday night 9 : 30 pm ( ET / PT ) time slot following 2 Broke Girls. However, after the cancelation of We Are Men, 2 Broke Girls was moved into the show 's 8 : 30 pm slot, with repeats of The Big Bang Theory occupying the 9 pm lead - in time slot to Mom until the season debut of Mike & Molly on November 4, 2013. The show received a full first season order for 22 episodes on October 18, 2013. On March 13, 2014, CBS announced the second season renewal of Mom. The series moved from Mondays at 9 : 30 PM to Thursdays at 8 : 30 PM for the first fourteen episodes until the series moved to Thursdays at 9 : 30 PM following The Odd Couple series premiere and the series finale of Two and a Half Men. By season three, the focus became more about Christy and Bonnie and their group from AA, while the restaurant set, the kids and Baxter roles were reduced significantly. Casting The series gives Faris, who had guest - starred in various television programs between her film projects and been sought after for other television projects ( including a failed pilot called Blue Skies that was being produced for NBC ), her first full - time television role, as she landed the part of the lead character, Christy, in January 2013. On January 28, 2013, Janney was next to come aboard the project, playing Christy 's mother. Matt Jones and Spencer Daniels were added to the cast in February 2013, with Jones playing Christy 's ex-husband, Baxter, and Daniels taking the role of Luke, the boyfriend of Christy 's daughter, Violet.
