Young Deb (played in flashback by Maddie Ziegler; appeared in 1 episode). In the episode "Lady Parts", while Jane represents Bobbie in a case where a dance client is suing her, Jane remembers dancing for her mom as Deb and how she wasn't able to do a dance routine and disappointing her mom.
This article lists the cast and characters in the American fantasy legal television series Drop Dead Diva, which debuted on Lifetime July 12, 2009. Prior to the start of the series, Jane Bingum was a hard working, intelligent lawyer whose best friend was her assistant, Terri and was often teased by her co-worker Kim Kasswell due to her size.
Meanwhile, it is revealed that the real Jane has spent the last four years in Heaven watching in dismay as Deb uses her body and life and declares her intention to get her old life back. In her apartment, Jane reconciles with Elaine, asks for her help with the wedding and even wants her to walk her down the aisle.
Jane eventually confesses to Grayson, who has some trouble accepting it. Eventually, they do start dating and get together. In season 6, when Grayson is shot, he plans to propose to Jane but dies in the hospital.
In the Season 4 finale, Jane almost marries her boyfriend Owen French. Before the wedding, she has difficulties with writing the wedding vows and gets into a fight with her mother because she didn't want her to help out.
