What About Daddy? is about a 16-year old girl named Karyn (played by Emily Langlitz) who has grown up in a Children's Home she grows to dislike. She runs away but after a short time is found by a police officer who takes her back to the Children's Home. Karyn expresses that she wants to meet her real parents because she desires to be a part of a family. She meets her real mother, Elizabeth Russell (played by Mary Louise Nelson), who accepts her, but Karyn discovers that her mother did not share the full story of why she gave her away.

We shot What About Daddy? all on location. We decided taping in the studio would require a moving truck to pack all the supplies we needed. So instead we worked outside, in an office building, and in a house. We spent five hours shooting non-stop (includes driving time to various locations). What About Daddy? aired on Roseville Channel 18.
