[edit] Background
Sophie has three children, Sandy Cohen, and a younger son and daughter who are unknown. She also has three known grandchildren Ryan Atwood (adoptive grandson), Seth Cohen and Sophie Rose Cohen. It is also mentioned that one of her two other children has a son although his name is never mentioned. Her family refer to her as "The Nana" and are somewhat scared of her. She is a social worker from The Bronx and resents all rich people in Orange County. Especially her daughter-in-law Kirsten Cohen's Father Caleb Nichol who she sees as greedy and evil
[edit] Season 1
During a Passover Seder visit, the family's negative views about her change as she informs them that she has been diagnosed with lung cancer. She does not want chemotherapy, but the family persuades her to seek treatment. She then leaves for New York.
[edit] Season 2
She appears once again in the second season, living in southern Florida (and appears to be illness-free) and presenting a new fiancé during a visit from Sandy, Seth and Ryan. Ever protective of his mother's well-being, Sandy is suspicious of the background of Sophie's new love, eventually discovering a foundation for his mistrust. He drives away the suitor, who apparently sought to profit from Sophie's retirement savings. Though Sophie is not quick to agree with her son's actions or his rationale for them, the two eventually reconcile before the end of the visit.
[edit] Season 3
In The Chrismukkah Bar-Mitzvahkkah when Seth is watching a video tape of his Bar Mitzvah when he was 12 or 13, Sophie's voice is briefly heard on the tape.
[edit] Future
Sophie continues to live in Florida, remaining away from the hardships Sandy's family and others would face during the third and fourth seasons. In the series finale, her granddaughter Sophie is named after her. This made some believe that Sophie died from her illness, as Jews name their children after deceased relatives. Josh Schwartz revealed in the DVD commentary for the finale that Sophie is still alive and well.
