David Straussberg
History
David Straussberg is the older brother of Mandy
Straussberg. He first appeared in the episode
Tornado!
and reappeared infrequently over the next few seasons as
Alex Jefferson's best friend. Eleven
seasons after his last appearance in
Slumber Party,
David reappeared in
Now More Than Ever,
bitter, angry, and hardened to his parents' struggles in their marriage.
He began to cut himself off from his family until, in
Life, in the Third
Person, Part 2, he revealed to his father that
he was, in fact, deeply hurting because of his parents' separation, and
helped his father to realize that divorce was not the answer to his
parents' problems. After the reconciliation of his parents, David's
relationship with his family was (presumably) restored.
Family
David's younger sister is Mandy, and his parents are
Rachel and Stephen Straussberg. Upon his sister's marriage, Trent
DeWhite will be his brother-in-law, and he will have one grandnephew,
Brandon, and a grandniece.
