Shalhoub joins as Frankie Musso, who was once engaged to Charlie’s mother, Fran (Polly Draper), before she met and fell in love with her husband and Charlie’s father, Leo (William Fichtner).Even all those years later, Frankie still longs for Fran, and the two have a dynamic that continues to ruffle Leo’s feathers.
