Home Life Growing Up: Had a close and well structured relationship with her parents. She was greatly a common sense type who was responsible. 
Residence: He had divided her time between Arizona and Los Angeles to see their son Hobie. She and Mitch had also agreed on Hobie's visiting her. And although she won't admit it, she is still in love with Mitch.  
Marital Status: Single (divorced). Was going to marry a man whom she brought with her on a visit to meet Mitch and Hobie. She wanted Hobie to spend some time with him, but the plane went down into the ocean and it was Mitch's team to the rescue. Hobie became his mother's lungs to keep her alive as the water rose until the team could cut through the plane and get them out and to the surface. Hobie saw him for what he was. In the plane, he was a real coward. And Hobie asked Mitch if he could say something to her. Mitch confronted the man and he explained that he wasn't a coward, but he was just not a hero. He was in love with Gayle. After the talk, Mitch had compassion for the man who was able to charm most people and never said anything to Gayle.
 
Later on a visit, Gayle explained that she could not go through with the marriage. She had broken off the relationship (Thank goodness! I could just imagine what would have happened to her if another disaster hit without the team there to help).
