I though Will was Phil's biological nephew... - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

...until I saw the Banks appear on The Oprah Winfrey Show. Will is in the audience and starts telling off Aunt Viv...about how her sister (Will's mother) raised her, and she won't let him appear on the show.

Up to this point, I thought that he a nephew on Uncle Phil's side. I've seen a few episodes where Phil's mother comes to visit, and she and Will treat each other as grandmother and grandson. That's not unusual I guess, since Will really blended in with the family.

It's just that I was surprised to find out he's Viv's biological nephew.

I think it was revealed that Will was Viv's biological newphew in the first episode Will's mother came to visit.

I'm sure it was, but I didn't start watching from the beginning. I was just surprised when I found out.

I think that was clear from the first episode. Uncle Phil describes Will as his nephew by marriage. And I'm POSITIVE, that it was clear way before the Oprah episode.

Janice stated she didn't watch the show from the BEGINNING and only found out from watching that Oprah episode. I can easily see why one would think that Will was Phil's biological nephew.
