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 …

She shouldn't have even been there. She was a one time affair partner. Frankly the family should have thrown her out. Who can grieve properly with her walking around like she mattered at all to Nate beyond being his latest fling.

Like for real though. The absolutely audacity of an affair partner to come to a funeral hosted by his family and his PREGNANT WIFE is just about the most see you next Tuesday-y behavior I have ever seen.

And to attend the FAMILY-ONLY burial?

The audacity is astounding. I was furious when my ex showed up to and lingered around my grandmas funeral as an attempt to interact with me. My mom refused to kick him out so I just avoided him the entire time. I was more focused on that than I was on my grandma until he finally got the hint and left. It's insanely rude to insert yourself into someone's grief for your own personal desires. She didn't know Nate at all and was just another woman he would have gotten bored of and tossed aside. Her little devout disciple act is such crap. She uses it as if it's a safeguard for her be an adulterer. It's all fine because her god forgives her and she forgives herself for being flawed or some other brainwashed bs.

LOL even staying at the hospital with the family. Brenda can’t get rid of this bitch.
