Kaitlin Olson and her ‘High Potential’ co-stars pay tribute to Matthew Lamb

Kaitlan Olson and the cast of High potential recently reunited to support their co-star Matthew Lamb following the death of his mother.

After the 14-year-old actor, who plays Morgan’s (Olson) son Elliot on ABC’s crime procedural, announced in a heartfelt statement this week that his mother Meredith had passed away, his co-stars paid tribute in the comments section.

“I’m not sure how to write this,” he prefaced the post. “As many of you know, my mother passed away this Saturday. She was everything to me. She taught me school, she taught me empathy, she did everything for our family. She always had the biggest smile and gave the best hugs. Truly the most selfless person I know.”

Lamb continued, “It still doesn’t seem real. I’m not sure it ever will. She loved and supported everyone in a genuine way. I don’t know how we’re going to get through this, but we’re going to try. Every day I’m going to miss telling her about my day, talking to her, and watching our favorite shows. It’s not something I ever thought I’d have to do. There are so many things I’m going to miss about her in my life, but I’m grateful for the things she was able to experience. I love you, mom.

Olson, who plays an LAPD consultant with an incredibly high IQ, was one of many cast members to send their love, sharing memories of Lamb’s mother.

“Your mom was such a gift, Matthew,” she commented. “She was just overflowing with joy and kindness…and the way she lit up when she looked at you…that can never be taken away. You are forever her pride and joy. I am here for you forever.”

Lamb’s on-screen sister Amirah J, who plays Ava, wrote: “Sending you so much love.”

Judy Reyes, who plays Lt. Selena Soto, wrote, “We saw where you get your brilliance! I’m so sorry.”

“The brightest light always!!!! I’m so sorry Matthew,” wrote Javicia Leslie, who plays Detective Daphne Forrester, while Detective Lev “Oz” Özdil actor Deniz Akdeniz commented: “I love you buddy.”

Lamb will reunite with his co-stars in season 3 of High potentialwhich is expected to premiere on ABC in January.
