Neither Raven Baxter nor her mother, Tanya Baxter, appeared in the Disney Channel series Cory in the House. The show was a spin-off of That's So Raven, focusing solely on Raven's younger brother, Cory Baxter, and their father, Victor Baxter, as they moved to Washington D.C.
Raven's Absence
Raven Baxter did not appear in Cory in the House because the spin-off series followed Cory and Victor's new life in Washington D.C. The original series, That's So Raven, concluded with Raven still living in San Francisco, attending high school and later college, along with her mother. The narrative of Cory in the House was specifically crafted around Cory's experiences as his father became the White House chef, leaving Raven and Tanya out of the show's direct storyline.
Tanya Baxter's Absence
Tanya Baxter, Raven's and Cory's mother, also did not appear in Cory in the House. Her character had already been written out of the original series, That's So Raven, during its fourth and final season.
- Reason for Absence: In the storyline of That's So Raven, Tanya's character departed to England to pursue her dreams of attending law school. This explanation accounted for her absence from the Baxter household in the later episodes of the original series and subsequently, her non-appearance in Cory in the House.
- Later Mention: Although she was not featured in Cory in the House, Tanya was later mentioned in Raven's Home, a subsequent spin-off. In the episode "Dancing Tween," a delirious and half-asleep Raven briefly speaks to her mother, asking her not to take her to school, confirming Tanya's continued presence in the show's universe, even if off-screen.
