She is not my favorite part of the show but I don't dislike it either, I am fine with this.
ReplyDeleteI dunno how I feel about this. On one hand, I do like Jamie Pressly. On the other hand, I don't think Jill's added that much to the show, certainly not enough that she needs to be a regular. On the other other hand, I did think her most recent appearance was the best use of the character so maybe the writers have a better handle on her now.
ReplyDeleteI think her character works best in small doses.
ReplyDeleteSo this means we will see more of Octavia Spencer too?
ReplyDeleteI hope Jill will be used better but I have grown to like her lately. However, I would be even more happier if Octavia Spencer was promoted to series regular.
ReplyDeletehope so
ReplyDeleteYeah, I hope we see more Regina, even if she just pops in every now and then.
ReplyDeleteSo they kill off the best actor/character on the show and now we have to put up with that annoying woman? what's wrong with them.
ReplyDeleteI agree with this, but I also think Jaime Pressly and Mimi Kennedy are more integral to the show as members of the AA group. The restaurant is easily the weakest part of the show and should be cut down. Gabriel, Chef Rudy, and also Luke could all go.
ReplyDeletethats a fair point. though i do think that the restaurant provides a nice balance, so its not all AA all the time. cuz then the show would turn more into a drama with funny moments, then a comedy that tackles dramatic issues. but just an opinion, i totally see what you're saying as well
