Bobbie’s half-sister, played by Blue Beetle star Belissa Escobedo, joins Reba’s character’s business as a partner, which is the news Bobbie isn’t “too happy” with.

There is sure to be plenty of comic relief on the show as the power struggle between Bobbie and he half-sister plays out.

“That’s what I really loved about Reba.”
