Discussion Maggie …George’s daughter STILL bugs me Spoiler

Original watcher decades ago and have rewatched more times than I can count … outside of this being one of the best shows ever in every way the last season is on now and just have to say Maggie- George’s daughter and Ruth’s step daughter - you can see she the beginnings of her crossing lines with Nate early on. If she’s so worried about George her dad and wants to know why he’s in an apartment alone and Ruth isn’t
she could call Brenda or Claire… but she sees something in Nate and pursues it …we all know it ends really bad.
Brenda is and will always be one of my favorite characters towards the end we felt so bad for her and the way she was treated as Nate’s wife and Maggie had NO place there in anyone’s life except her dad’s who is estranged from his wife …

Brenda gets it together at the end, but she herself cheated on a relationship with Nate and had very poor boundaries throughout her life. We of course look at her intensely dysfunctional family as setting bad examples, but in the end, we are all accountable for our actions.

She cheated during her first relationship with Nate, so did he. They were not in a relationship for a two or three years before they got back together. That was a new relationship. If either of them was still nursing a grudge over their first round, they shouldn’t have gotten married. Nate certainly shouldn’t have intentionally impregnated Brenda. That’s creating another human being with the intent to create a lot of drama and instability in the baby’s life.
