Pam Potts was the controlling mother of Sarah Potts (Amanda Billing). She and her husband Morgan (Michael Morrissey) dropped Sarah's son Daniel (Jarred Blakiston) to Sarah's. Pam was disgusted when Sarah planned to reveal she was his mother and not his sister. Pam tried to keep Daniel but he insisted on being taken in by Sarah. In 2005 Pam returned with Morgan for Sarah's wedding to Andrew (Paolo Rotondo) and expressed joy at the coupling. However in 2007 when Pam met Sarah's new fiance TK Samuels (Benjamin Mitchell), she was constantly at odds at him when Sarah rebuffed her confrontational behaviour. In 2011 Sarah announced that her parents were living in the Bay of Islands and would not be visiting for the birth of her daughter. Pam suggested the name of Matilda which was eventually chosen. In 2012 the couple talked to Daniel (Ido Drent) and Sarah on Skype.
