Biography

Edna is Steven Hyde's mother and was previously married to Bud Hyde. She plays a large part in "Career Day", playing opposite Hyde when on Career Day, he has to help her in the kitchen (she was the school chef, "Gross Edna" at the time). In other episodes she only has lines yelling at Hyde on the porch from the inside of the house. Edna then ran off and left Hyde alone, which is why he moved in with the Formans and she is not heard of again until Season 4 where Hyde confesses that his parents got back together and ran off.

During Season 7, it is revealed that she previously dated William Barnett, who turns out to be the real father of Steven. William states Edna disappeared after she got pregnant and got with Bud, who was led to believe he was the father, which only worked because of Hyde not resembling his true father.
