TLC's popular series 90 Day Fiancé is currently in the middle of its ninth season, with a new episode airing on Sunday. The franchise has also recently announced the return of many of the 90 Day spinoffs, as well as the creation of new ones.
90 Day Fiancé, which boasts nearly 20 spinoff series, including hits such as 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way, 90 Day: The Single Life, and 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After?, appears committed to growing its roster by leaning into the show's most popular couples and characters. However, the franchise also features several side characters who are just as compelling as the show's biggest stars. Many of those side characters deserve their own spinoffs as well.
Uncle Beau
Uncle Beau, who lived with Mike Youngquist before Natalie Mordovtseva moved in, was the breakout star of 90 Day Fiancé's 7th season. His lovable attitude, relaxed personality, ridiculous advice, and unique aesthetic, were in stark contrast to Natalie's intense, and often entitled, behavior and Mike's constant state of irritation.
Despite Natalie forcing Uncle Beau out of the house and treating him poorly, he remained kind to her. He even helped her move when the couple broke up. There is no question about the fact that Uncle Beau could easily keep viewers entertained on a spin-off of his own.
Armando's Daughter, Hannah
When viewers were first introduced to Kenny Niedermeir and Armando Rubio on the 2nd season of 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way, it didn't take much convincing for them to fall in love with the cute couple. However, Armando's adorable 8 year old daughter, Hannah, was the real scene stealer.
Hannah had her father wrapped around her finger. The couple even had a few disagreements about how spoiled Hannah was. But, it was difficult to fault Armando for giving in to his daughter's wishes. Hannah, whose mother died when she was young, may be sassy, but she's clearly also precocious, sweet, and her father's biggest cheerleader. Plus the young entrepreneur has a keen sense of style and her own bow business. It would be interesting to watch her grow her love of fashion on a spin-off of her own.
Lidia and Nicole
Like everyone on The Family Chantel, Pedro's sister, Nicole, and his mother, Lidia, can be manipulative and cruel. On many occasions, the mother/daughter duo have almost ruined Chantel and Pedro's relationship.
Lidia and Nicole quickly became known as two of the biggest villains of the series. Nicole even famously lied, telling Chantel that Pedro had cheated on her with a family friend. The entitled pair are constantly asking Pedro for money but never treat Chantel with any respect. They also often fight amongst each other, as the pair has their fair share of relationship drama as well. It would be amusing to watch Lidia and Nicole stir the pot on a series of their own.
Adam The Translator
Adam Lebzo, better known as "Adam The Translator", valiantly came to the rescue of mismatched couple Brittany and Yazan during season 2 of The Other Way.
Adam won viewer's hearts with the patience he displayed while tackling Brittany and Yazan's relationship drama, sometimes for hours at a time. He even proudly became a viral meme for his efforts as an interpreter. But, Adam's real passion is animal welfare. He's the founder of Lumière Cat Shelter in Amman, Jordan and has committed himself to rescuing, rehabbing and homing stray cats. His calming personality mixed with the challenges of running a cat shelter would be the perfect combination for a reality series.
Annie's Best Friend, Cindy
Annie Suwan Toborowsky has one of the best friends in the 90 Day franchise. Her BFF, Cindy, is a makeup artists and a hairstylist in Thailand. With her fierce style, fun-loving personality, and commitment to her friendship with Annie, it's almost impossible not to love Cindy.
Cindy, who reconnected with the couple when they travelled to Thailand on David & Annie: After The 90 Days, showed Annie a wild night on the town and also had several meaningful conversations with her longtime friend. On the show, Annie said of her bestie, "Cindy was born in [a man's] body but her heart, mind and soul is a woman and it is common in Thailand." A show featuring Cindy and her beauty salon would definitely be a must-watch.
Colt's Mom, Debbie
On 90DF's 6th season, Debbie often acted more like a second wife to her son Colt than his mother. She would clean up after him, make him breakfast, drive him to work, and pick him up after. But she was also incredibly possessive of her son, and became a villain in many fan's eyes when she refused to share him with his wife, Larissa--who was also a pointedly difficult person.
Colt's relationship with Larissa was often sabotaged by his mother and, as a result, the couple had one of the shortest 90 Day marriages in the series. She continued to manipulate the women in Colt's life, and has since had a falling out with her son. Debbie would be a solid candidate for a reality show like sMothered.
The Entire Potthast Family
The Potthast family often feels like another version of The Family Chantel. They're extremely close-knit yet, somehow, still toxic when they're together. It's become hard to decipher who feels more entitled to Chuck's money and attention, Elizabeth and Andrei or the rest of Elizabeth's brothers and sisters, who are usually aggressively opposed to Andrei receiving any help from Chuck.
But like Chantel's family, when push comes to shove Chuck supports his family as needed--providing both Elizabeth and Andrei with jobs at various points in the series, financial assistance them and even paying for their wedding. Regardless, it's clear Chuck does not want to see Elizabeth and Andrei move to Andrei's hometown of Moldova, which he threatened to do. It would be exciting to watch a reality show completely centered around Chuck navigating all of the difficult members of his family.
Kalani's Dad, Low
Kalani's father, Low, is the hero 90 Day fan's deserve. A devoted family man, even when he disapproved of his daughter's relationship with Asuelu, he continued to support her building a relationship with her husband. Unlike many parents in the franchise, who defend their children while ostracizing their children's partner, Low took Asuelu under his wing and clearly wanted the young man to step up and be a good husband and father.
Furthermore, Low even defended his daughter and son-in-law against Asuelu's mother and sister, who were demanding money from Kalani and Asuelu while disrespecting their relationship. Low was a level-headed mentor to Kalani and Asuelu and always led by example. He's a protagonist worthy of his own show.
Tim's Cat, Pepino
There's no shortage of beloved 90 Day pets. Colt Johnson's 6 cats, for instance, were fan favorites, as was Stephanie Davison's cat, Cooper, who she famously fed yogurt to. With so many amazing furry friends to choose from, some deserving pets haven't properly had their 15 minutes of fame--Tim Clarkson's cat, Pepino is one of them.
Pepino is a working cat. He's an emotional support animal and was constantly by Tim's side--or more accurately, on his shoulder--during Tim's relationship with Melyza on season 2 of The Other Way. The cute cat even accompanied his human to Colombia. Pepino, who likely was not paid for his appearances on the show (even though he was clearly working), now deserves his time in the limelight.
Brandon's Parents, Ron & Betty
Ron and Betty Gibbs straddle the line between being awful parents and providing comic relief. When their son, Brandon, brought his Russian bride-to-be, Julia, to stay at the family farm, the couple (mostly Betty) became intensely controlling. She attempted to dictate everything from what days Julia could and couldn't schedule her wedding on, to what kind of birth control she should be taking.
Betty's interactions with Julia were so absurd, they were often, accidentally, humorous. Their exchanges also resulted in Brandon and Ron being stuck in the middle of the two women and having their own painfully awkward follow-up conversations. Together, Ron and Betty are an entertaining powerhouse of intensity and drama.
