List of George Lopez Characters - Angie Lopez

Angie Lopez

Angela "Angie" Palmero Lopez (Constance Marie) is the female protagonist of the series. She is the daughter of Vic and Emilia Palmero, sister of Gloria Palmero, wife of George, daughter-in-law of Benny, and mother of Carmen and Max. In Season 2 she takes a job selling health and beauty products to help pay for Carmen's private school tuition. She lost her job early in Season 4 and became a wedding planner.

Unlike George's tough childhood, Angie had a spoiled upbringing, which sometimes causes problems between herself and George. She was a cheerleader in high school and was very popular. Benny often calls her "princess" in a sarcastic manner due to her being spoiled, and the two don't get along well. Angie is considerably softer and more forgiving as a parent, unlike her husband who is quick to come down hard on their kids. Angie is very overprotective of Max and supportive of Carmen. She is also portrayed as a goody-two-shoes, is very naive, and often takes people at face-value. Several times, George has to prove to her that people are lying or being insincere. Her compassion for others not only annoys George, but often backfires.

Angie usually outsmarts George at everything and has no problem disrespecting him in front of his children, and even yelling at him in front of his mom and Ernie. For this, Benny is disgusted at what her son George has been reduced to, which further causes her to dislike Angie. Angie is also not above bullying George around with his power around the house. Ironically, she disapproves of the constant fighting between George and Benny and consistently tries to mend fences between them. In the episode "George Discovers How Mescal-ed Up His Life Would Have Been Without the Benny-Fits", Angie sides with Benny when George prevented her from winning a contest at work. She's also been described as a bad cook by mainly Benny and sometimes George. This may be because she was pampered like a princess during her childhood. A bit of a running gag in the series is whenever George says something that upsets Angie, he tries to make up an excuse for his actions while trying to kiss her wrist. Angie responds by pulling away and giving him a disgusted look. Another running gag is that whenever George is angry at her for something, such as a kept secret, she usually resorts to selling him her body in order to avoid consequence. Another running gag in the series is her hitting George at least once an episode after he says something she doesn't want to hear or something that she believes is too inappropriate in front of the kids. Also, despite being a housewife, Angie is rarely shown doing any house work in the series especially during the later seasons, heavily implying that she hardly ever does any work at all. Another notable fact about her marriage with George is their infatuation with each other. George seems to be very infatuated with Angie when she doesn't speak while Angie rarely ever shows a slightest bit of infatuation with him. Throughout the series, this has been heavily implied but never implicitly said. For example, whenever they have the house to themselves, George usually recommends they go upstairs and have sex. Angie on the other hand would much rather not and instead do some other activity. She once even ordered George to put up a shelf in Max's room rather than sleep with him. George pathetically tried to counter it by asking her "You sure it's not because you want to see me with my tool belt?" But it was clear to the audience that he was pathetically trying to convince himself that he's attractive to his wife.

For her part, Angie will side with George against her father Vic, and will always help her husband no matter what problem he has. Angie is a know-it-all who always thinks that George, is wrong, but there have been multiple times when she has to apologize to him.

Once, Angie wore a purple bracelet and went to the supermarket. The boy held her groceries for her, and she was thankful. He slapped her on the butt, telling her that he never did purple with an older chick before, and Angie beats him up, giving him a black eye, a disfigured face, and knocking out four of his teeth. She cracked her knuckles and warned the boy that if he ever did that again, she would beat him up even more next time. She went home and told George what happened.
