Marla is the mother of Dr. Wallace Breen. She was never married, and didn't particularly want him. She has plenty of money from her family, and she enjoys going out to parties. She doesn't interact with her son much, but when she does she is physically abusive towards him. She also has done some...age inappropriate things to him. She just doesn't like her son much. She had Wallace at 16. She is insecure about her weight, and keeps her son's weight down too by not feeding him. She's unmarried.
