The Netflix sitcom revolves around Timmy Yoon, the manager of the world’s last operating Blockbuster store. When Timmy is unexpectedly faced with the need to run the store without a head office to support and guide him, his coworker Eliza Walker (Melissa Fumero) steps in.
Eliza, who is in a troubled relationship with her ex-husband Aaron, assists Timmy in sailing the Blockbuster boat without endangering the lives of the employees. Eliza develops feelings for Timmy as her relationship with Aaron fails to meet any of her emotional needs.

Melissa Fumero’s Husband: The Blockbuster Cast Is Married to Her Spouse David Fumero Since 2007; The Couple Has an Age Gap of 9 Years!
Melissa Fumero (@melissafumero) has been married to her husband, David Fumero (@davidfumero), since 2007. They also have two children together. Enzo Fumero, their first child, was born on March 24, 2016. The Blockbuster cast, 40, and her husband, 49, have an age gap of 9 years.
She gushed on Instagram about Enzo’s arrival, saying he had the sweetest face she had ever held. After she announced her pregnancy in November 2019, the former co-stars welcomed their second child, a son named Axel Fumero, on February 14, 2020. Since Axel’s birth, the couple admitted that Valentine’s Day has become their favorite holiday.
Melissa met her spouse, David, who once appeared in a Mariah Carey music video. She was 13 years old when she saw her future husband for the first time. At the time, David was a young model. He made a brief cameo in Mariah Carey’s 1997 hit single “Honey” music video.
Melissa had a huge crush on David as a teenager, but when they finally met, she didn’t recognize him. She was all grown up and working on One Life to Live, while David was a three-month returning guest star on the show. Melissa even revealed to Steve Harvey in October 2017 that she had a huge crush on an unnamed music video star.
Melissa was aware of David’s past when they began dating, but she had no idea he was her childhood crush. That is until he brought up the “Honey” video during a date. Melissa naturally connected the dots and became so overwhelmed that she had to leave the room.
This comedic gem however got her start in the entertainment industry in a very different way. In 2004, she landed her first role as Adriana Cramer on the soap opera One Life to Live. She remained on the show until 2011. Following the soap opera, she played Zoe in Gossip Girl, CSI: NY, and Royal Pains. But it wasn’t until the infamous character Amy Santiago that the actress made a name for herself. The police procedural comedy aired from 2013 to 2021 and is truly one of the best shows on television.
Meanwhile, in the Netflix series Blockbuster, Melissa Fumero portrays the role of Eliza Walker, a mother who recently discovered her husband cheated on her, is irritated about returning to her high school job after a brief stint at Harvard, but she remains Timmy‘s long-time crush. In addition, there’s “Blockbuster mom” Connie (Olga Merediz), aspiring director Carlos (Olga Merediz), homeschooled high schooler Hannah (Madeleine Arthur), and Kayla (Kamaia Fairburn), whose father Percy (J.B. Smoove) owns the strip mall where the Blockbuster store is situated in the series.
Aside from Blockbuster, Fumero has several projects in the works, including the upcoming film Bar Fight!, which will be released in November, HBO Max’s Velma, and the animated series Digman!, in which she will reunite with her B99 co-star Andy Samberg.
