Reggie Lass is a fictional character on the Showtime comedy-drama Dead Like Me.
Reggie is George's younger sister, largely ignored by George before her death. After George's death, Reggie developed a fixation with the way her sister died (hit by a zero-g toilet seat from a deorbiting Mir). She's intelligent and well-read but rather difficult and emotionally complex. She collected toilet seats and put them in a tree. Now past this stage, she is fast growing away from her mother, and is in danger of becoming even more disaffected with life than her late sister.
Reggie is opposed to Joy's decision to sell the family home: she told prospective buyers, "George visits me here" — which is, in fact, true as she has spotted George (as Millie) spying on the house from time to time. Despite her stressed relationship with her mother, she is very protective of her and scared away one potential suitor by claiming that George was murdered in her own home. In "Ashes To Ashes", she experimented with the Goth lifestyle, adopting the nickname "Spider"[1]. When J.F. the frog was left on her doorstep following the death of her dog J.D.[2], she became convinced (correctly) that George was responsible. She used to believe that George was a ghost, but has abandoned that notion (or pretends to have). Even though she is unsure of George's whereabouts, she (correctly) believes George is still "living" somehow, and in "Haunted", her beliefs were apparently confirmed when she saw George face-to-face. At the end of season 2, she appears to have been gradually warming up to her mother, Joy.
In the trailer for the film, Reggie is shown meeting George and wanting to move in with her, even though she's dead. This appears to cause friction between Reggie and Joy, as the latter believes George is dead and gone, which is only half right.
