Prepetit told Good Day Sacramento of Naomi's story arc:
But it started off with her father getting married to her best friend [Hayley, Marquita Goings], which she felt very betrayed by. And during that time, she didn't have a good relationship with her father. She sued her father, and, you know, family drama incurred.
She went on:
But right now, Naomi is kind of... things are complicated with her relationship with her father because he just suffered this mini-stroke and she kind of put the blame on herself. She felt like, because of the stress that she caused, suing her father, that she made him have a stroke, basically. And she's seeing that he's human and she doesn't want that relationship to be soured. So she's kind of getting back into his good graces. Well, he's getting back into her good graces, and she's trying to figure out their relationship right now.
