Now the story of a wealthy family who lost everything, and the one son who had no choice but to keep them all together...
The Big Picture The critically acclaimed sitcom ran for three seasons in the early '00s before returning for a fourth season on Netflix in 2013 and a final season in 2018. It follows the Bluth family's exploits when their patriarch is "arrested" and their housing "development" company is put at risk.
As the crazy show gets crazier, it's revealed that the Bluth family tree is far more complex than it first appears to be, and it can often get quite confusing. So here's the story of a wealthy family who lost everything, and the one son who had no choice but to keep them all together. It's Arrested Development! George Bluth Sr. George Bluth Sr. is the Bluth family patriarch. In 1953, he founded his Bluth Real Estate Company with his twin brother Oscar before forcing Oscar out and stealing his fiancée. That fiancée was Lucille who would go on to marry George. The two had four children together , plus there is the very likely possibility that George and his personal assistant Kitty Sanchez conceived a child together, either through their trysts or when Kitty stole George's sperm sample without his consent. Oscar Bluth Oscar is George's identical twin brother. As a pot head, Oscar has allegedly never put in an honest day's work. This stress-free lifestyle is what supposedly contributed to his beautiful head of hair, the only visible difference between him and George. Despite having his fiancée Lucille stolen from him, Oscar continued to enjoy a lustful affair with George's wife, likely being the secret biological father of Byron "Buster" Bluth , George's youngest son. The Bluth extended family is full of uncles like Oscar, such as "Uncle" Jack Dorso , but unlike those mere family friends, Oscar is the only biological uncle. Lucille Bluth Lucille is the high-society daughter of Mimi . When Mimi died, Lucille kept her death a secret from the other family members to keep the inheritance money for herself. During her marriage to George, Lucille gave birth to three sons . She also adopted her daughter Lindsay "just to stick it to a competitor" when rival company owner Stan Sitwell took an interest in adopting Lindsay first. Lindsay is later revealed to have been the biological daughter of Lucille's mother Mimi, making them half-sisters. This likely contributes to Lucille's clear distain for her daughter. George Oscar Bluth GOB is the firstborn son of George and Lucille, named after his father and uncle. GOB takes after his father in the womanizing department, struggling to maintain a committed relationship for very long. He takes his similarity with his father to a whole new level when he sleeps with George Sr's assistant Kitty despite being repulsed by her. He also engages in an affair with his mother's rival Lucille Austero despite being repulsed by her too. One drunken night, GOB married a woman on a dare but never learned her name. GOB later becomes accidentally engaged to his nephew's high-school girlfriend Ann Veal and after trying to get out of the arrangement, Ann takes revenge on GOB by tricking him into sleeping with his career rival Tony Wonder . GOB and Tony develop romantic feelings for each other that make them question everything. Steve Holt Steve Holt is seemingly a character unrelated to the Bluth family at first, seen merely as a rival for George Michael in his attempts at getting his cousin Maeby to fall in love with him. The conflict around George Michael's attraction to his cousin in the first place is turned upside-down however, then he discovers that Steve Holt, the boy his cousin has a crush on, is also their cousin! Back in high school, GOB's sexual exploits began when he impregnated a girl named Eve Holt and nine months later, Steve was born. Nichael "Michael" Bluth Michael is the second-born son of George and Lucille Bluth. He grew up believing that Lindsay was his twin sister until Lindsay's adoption eventually came to light. Lindsay was originally named Nellie, and in trying to uncover the mystery of his sister, Michael mistakenly hires a prostitute named Nellie . It turns out that "N. Bluth" is actually Michael himself, and that his birth certificate had his name misspelled as Nichael. Michael married his high-school sweetheart Tracey and the two conceived their son George Michael, named after his grandfather and father .Tracey Bluth Tracey appears in flashbacks and "archive footage" portrayed by Maria Thayer. Little is known about Tracey other than she had red hair. After Tracey's untimely death, Michael would go on to attempt to replace her with several romantic prospects. Michael's fling with Arrested Development narrator Ron Howard's fictional daughter Rebel Alley would see his complex come to full light. Michael and Tracey had one son together, but it's possible that, after Tracey's death, Michael's brief romance with Maggie Lizer also results in a positive pregnancy test which is kept secret from Michael. George Michael Bluth The only confirmed and legitimate son of Michael is George Michael. After Tracey's death, Michael made it his mission to develop a close relationship with their son. George Michael develops a conflicting crush on his cousin Maeby during their teens. George Michael eventually pursues a relationship with Ann Veal but has her stolen away by his uncle GOB. He also becomes the boyfriend of Rebel Alley only to discover that her other boyfriend is his father. George Michael is cursed with the Bluth gene of being unlucky in love, and much like his family, his study abroad in Spain leads to a Spanish housewife he made love to becoming pregnant. A secret lovechild is a Bluth's bread and butter! Lindsay Bluth Fünke Lindsay was raised believing she was the twin sister of Michael, younger sister of GOB, and older sister of Buster. In reality, she was born to her grandmother Mimi, Lucille's mother, making Lucille her half-sister rather than her daughter. She was put up for adoption and at 3 years old, Nellie Sitwell was adopted by Lucille to spite rival real estate agent Stan Sitwell. Feeling herself different from the rest of the Bluths, she became a liberal protestor and philanthropist out of spite. Lindsay moved to Boston where she married Tobias Fünke , a man her parents would never accept. After $130,000 in medical expenses, the two conceived their daughter Maeby. Tobias Fünke Having lost his medical license in Massachusetts, Tobias agrees to relocate his family to California where his wife Lindsay comes from. Tobias fancies himself a psychoanalyst and a psychotherapist, making him the world's first "analrapist", one of countless examples in which he is unable to hear the homoerotic and problematic phrases he says. Tobias' sexuality is largely in question, with marital and child-conception issues plaguing his relationship with Lindsay, who often seeks pleasure elsewhere. Tobias is the on-again-off-again husband of Lindsay and the loving father of Maeby. Maeby Fünke Maeby is the biological daughter of Lindsay and Tobias. She is the cousin on George Michael and Steve Holt, despite having explored the possibilities of romantic relationships with both at one time or another. Maeby spent most of her youth working at Tantamount Studios where she produced horror movies called "Gangie", based on her monstrous grandmother Lucille. Despite her disarming catchphrase "marry me!", Maeby remains unmarried with no children, and the Fünke family tree ends with her. Byron "Buster" Bluth Buster is the youngest of the Bluth siblings, believing himself to be the son of George and Lucille but just as likely to be Oscar and Lucille's in actuality. As the baby of the family, he became the "motherboy", Lucille's punching bag and unofficial assistant. In an act of rebellion, Buster began a romantic relationship with his mother's social rival Lucille Austero . His adventures also saw him joining the army, losing an arm to a loose seal, and pursuing an affair with Ophelia Love . In truth, he sees Ophelia as more of a mother-figure but sleeps with her regardless, further highlighting Buster's strange Oedipus complex. Annyong Bluth As is evident from Lindsay's adoption, Lucille Bluth is not above adopting children for the sake of spite. Annyong Bluth a Korean boy adopted by Lucille during an argument with Buster over cottage cheese. When Annyong arrives, he knows no English and says "annyeong", meaning "hello" in Korean. The family assumes this to be his name and refers to him as "Annyong". In a hilarious turn of events, Annyong's real name is revealed to be "Hel-loh". This name was given to him by his grandfather, whose idea for a frozen banana stand was coincidentally stolen by Lucille Bluth and marked the beginning of the Bluth empire's success. Largely forgotten by the biological members of the Bluth family, Annyong's has since vowed to enact revenge on the family.
