Default James' relatives.

Isn't it interesting that we see Florida's brother, nephew, and cousin(s?). Yet we only see James' father, but no other relatives. We knew James had brothers and/or sisters, but we never seen them. Interesting huh? What do you think?

I always wondered about that as well. I wouldve been nice to see at least one of James brothers or sisters appear on the show.

If they were as poor as the Evans, they probably couldn't afford to travel to Chicago.

Was it ever said that James had brothers and sisters?

I found it odd that none of his relatives attended his funeral.

I don't think so, I think he was an only child.

I thought the lady who cried all the time and was in a few other episodes was related to James. I can't remember her name but I thought she was a relative.

Wanda, I knew it was something like that. I always thought she was a relative but I guess not. On the first one she is in I thought she flew it from somewhere?

James' father mentioned leaving his children (PLURAL) in the episode where he first appears.

That is not only odd, but kind of sad as well, concerning the fact that not one of James' relatives/kin even attended his funeral or wake.
SitcomGyrl, good point to bring up... b/c until now, I didn't give that much thought at all, as far as that particular episode was concerned! Wow...
