#I don't blame liv for that - season 1 just had terrible writing most of the time

[howtosingit]

Not unhappy about the idea of Iris returning, as it always felt like she had a lot of potential, especially for Carlos. Since we now know that 1x05 had a scene where Carlos talks about Iris, I think they originally wanted him to be a larger part of her story, and for her to have more impact outside of Michelle. They clearly shifted away from that idea as they wrote the end of the first season and kept her isolated for some reason. (It’s why that plot absolutely never worked.) My guess is that season 2 would’ve maybe opened that plot up if Liv hadn’t left, as she would’ve remained a focal point. All of this to say, I don’t know if she’s coming back for flashbacks or present-day material, I don’t know if she’ll actually have anything to do with Carlos or if it’ll be something completely different. Literally have no idea, and I’m unwilling to get my hopes up about it until we get more information.  However, I am very much hoping that we don’t see even a glimpse of Michelle Blake. Not a single emotionless, husky peep from her. No thank you.

#'michelle was such a good friend to carlos' is an immediate red flag each and every time #I judge anyone who seriously makes that ridiculous claim #tell me you didn't actually watch their scenes together without telling me you didn't actually watch their scenes together #they talked about carlos's personal life and feelings literally ONCE and he had to prod her to ask about him #she was incredibly selfish and he was a plot device for her to use #I don't blame liv for that - season 1 just had terrible writing most of the time #especially when it came to most of the characters not named strand #but her writing was bad and her acting didn't help so I really don't need to see her ever again #the show has moved on and carlos has moved on and we have moved on #so the only thing that makes me wary about more iris is that we're opening that VERY MUCH CLOSED door again #when we really don't need to do that #but we shall see #ls spoilers #ls speculation #911 lone star #carlos reyes #iris blake #just me rambling a bit as I process the news hours later lol
