Towards the end of the first season of DC Universe’s Doom Patrol, The Cheif Niles Caulder mentioned the love he has for his daughter Dorothy. However, the character debuts in name alone. As first reported by TVLine, Doom Patrol Season 2 will put a face to that name in the form of young actress Abigail Shapiro.
Along with the casting confirmation, the initial report also revealed a character description for Dorothy. “Niles loves her very much and has gone through great sacrifice to protect her, and the world, from her special abilities. Now that she is no longer hidden, Niles will go to even greater lengths to protect her.”
