The Series overview ends saying ...featuring a now-adult Joanie Lockhart (Anna Paquin), but no "Joanie" has been previously mentioned, nor is there any explanation for the last name.
Extended content
I tried researching when Joanie was first introduced/mentioned (I haven't seen the show), but found this difficult - it appears she's in custody of others(?) while Alison struggles, and that there's no clean-cut introduction. I can find that her existence is established by the end of season 2 (when her father is revealed), but I'm boldly guessing she gets a mention during season 1.
The perspective characters table feels a bit weird. Why does Allison turn into Joanie and Cole into Janelle? Shouldn't each perspective character have its own line, showing in which seasons they appear? I've seen done that way in other articles. --

My feeling was there was no need to utilise so much blank space (and there would be a LOT), when they're just columns of information (unlike the cast table, where each line is associated with one actor). Do you have example of equivalent tables in other articles?

Or, if you want to save some space, you can combine the single-season perspective characters into one row, which I do think works.
This is something I had hoped to find in the article, and unfortunately I don't have the time to do it right now: the indication of which perspective is used in which episode, in the episode's synopses. (Possibly with a total count somewhere indicating how many sections each character got). I'll just leave it here, in case someone will pick this up at some point.
