"You know, I get why you did what you did to me. Out of loyalty to your friend. Same reason I'm so bitchy to you. For Sarah."
— Deidre Sanderson to Honey Ellis

Deidre Sanderson is the head of the Homeowners Association. She is portrayed by Rachel Cannon.

History[]

Deidre attends Homeowners Association meeting where Carol-Joan is suggesting they install a piazza as their median for traffic diversion, inspired by the piazza she encountered while in Tuscany. As Carol-Joan mentions that it could be a neutral territory for community bonding, Jessica shoos her off the stage so that Evan can move on to Louis, who is the next speaker. Louis introduces himself to the homeowners and pitches his new business consultant services, only for Deidre, Carol-Joan and Jamie to ask about his profit margins, clientele, and profit projections. When Louis responds that it would be zero as he has just started, Deidre scoffs that it isn't an actual business if he has no clients, and he is ushered off.

Deidre & Jamie — Deidre and Jamie on the piazza

The piazza's construction is approved by the HOA, and Deidre stands on the piazza next to Jamie as the neighborhood comes to the piazza, which Carol-Joan had placed an Italian theme on, serving gelato from a cart. The neighborhood began to play bocce, and gathered around the piazza to play the bocce finals, only for Jessica to sit there, occupying the spot and unwilling to move.

Carol-Joan & Deidre — Deidre tries to get Jessica to move

Deidre asks Jessica to move so that they could continue with their bocce finals, although Jessica remains put. Marvin then announces that the finals have been postponed and that they should refer to Jamie for a refund on any bets they placed, and the crowd disperses. Hours later, after having been convinced otherwise by her son, Jessica decides to play boccee and participates in the bocce finals, with the neighborhood, including Deidre, clamoring around the piazza.

Deidre Sanderson (6x8) — Deidre asks Officer Bryson who snitched

Just then, the police show up to destroy the median, as it has been constructed without a permit. When Deidre asked who snitched, Bryson responds that he was alerted to the matter through an anonymous op-ed in the paper, and Jessica publicly announces that she suspects Carol-Joan to be the culprit. Emery and Evan lament how bocce was fun while it lasted, and Jessica replies that they can continue this in their backyard. As the crowd cheers, Jessica clarifies that she meant the Huang family only. The people then leave in disappointment as the police bring in the bulldozers.^[1]

Deidre (6x11) — "Did you want me to set these up in the kitchen or up your ass?"

Deidre is asked by Jessica if she could borrow chairs for Honey's surprise party, and Deidre agrees. As she struggles to bring in the chairs inside Honey's house, she asks Jessica where she should set them up; Jessica, reading a magazine on the couch, smiles as she tells Deidre that she has a surprise for her, which was that she wasn't invited to Honey's party. Deidre then drops the chairs and asks if she should set them up in Jessica's ass, straining the relationship between the two.

Deidre Sanderson (6x11) — Deidre plays golf

Deidre is invited by Louis to play golf at the North Orlando Country Club. On the course, Jessica to tell Deidre that she's looking for a job at a private school since Deidre is on the board of Smith-Moore Academy. Louis attempts to soften the situation by claiming that Jessica starts talking about private schools due to sunstroke, but Deidre points out that Jessica could not have sunstroke with the brim radius on her visor, noting that she knows Jessica wants to talk business.

Deidre tells Jessica that Smith-Moore Academy is currently looking for a Dean and that she would perfect for the position, further stating that with her influence, the interview process would merely be a formality and that she would go call the school right now. However, her agenda was that the school was looking to hire a person of color to be their new face in order to show that they "promoted diversity," and Deidre arranges for them create the position of Dean and have Jessica hired merely for optics.^[2]

Personality[]

"She's not a genuine person. This is what I've been telling you. The worst part about Deidre is she is so quick to judge other people."
