1 Cobra Kai Character Has A Strange William Zabka Movie Connection

Cobra Kai, which features William Zabka from the original The Karate Kid, features another character from a different Zabka film. Shannon Keene (Diora Baird), otherwise known as Johnny Lawrence's ex and Robby's mother, is a character throughout the Cobra Kai series, although her screen time is limited. She is known in the early seasons for her irresponsibility and absence in Robby's life, despite being his only present parent. She opts to go to bars and pick up men more than care for her son when audiences first meet her. In addition, she leaves for most of season 2 of the series, returning in the end and vowing to go to rehab and be a better parent.
