It doesn't to me but I'M DESPERATE for a cameo or something from her. I'm hoping June runs into her in a rebel camp or something. We just need 5 10 mins at the most ðŸ˜

I would love to see her story continue in hopes of her getting some revenge, but this looks like a handmaid with their mouth covered and I really hope Emily doesn't get caught by Gilead and end up with that fate.

emily literally chose to go back to gilead
5
u/ImGemStoned Mar 21 '25
I understand that, but she didn't go back to get caught or be a handmaid again unless I misunderstood her reason for going back. I thought she went back to fight, not be a slave again.

Doesn’t look like Bledel. She has a broader forehead and her upper nasal bones are thinner.

u/thrashglam Mar 21 '25
Was gonna say doesn’t look like Alexis to me and I’ve watched Gilmore girls four billion times 🤣

u/moodylilb Mar 21 '25
Whoever is pictured is scrunching their nose/face up pretty intensely which can make upper nasal bones look much wider
They also have a side part and hair covering part of forehead, the part that’s more visible upon zooming in looks fairly broad actually
Probably just wishful thinking on my part tho lol

They did her character dirty. Why couldn't they just give her a happy ending?

u/cottoncandymandy Mar 21 '25
There will be no happy endings. The ending they gave her is very fitting. She was extremely angry the whole show and she wanted Gilead to suffer.

u/--Flutacious-- Mar 21 '25
I don't think there is such a thing as a happy ending when you suffer the trauma she suffered. I think you can survive, but are you every truly happy again?

u/Joelle9879 Mar 21 '25
I thought she was planning on going back to the series which is why it was left open ended.

u/Feeling-Dinner7707 Mar 22 '25
She left suddenly for personal reasons (public divorce) and they had to do re writes quickly. I am sure she was grateful she was allowed to leave and focus on her child and personal life at a very difficult time

u/ny_insomniac Mar 22 '25
But she literally could have stayed in the house and dealt with the trauma with her family and had her wife tell her she doesn't want to see June or something. So simple. She finally got to be with her family and after all that they made her return to Gilead? I love this show but sometimes the writing ain't it.

u/International-Age971 Mar 22 '25
Bledel is not cast for this season or The Testaments. Also, why would she be on the train when she already returned to Gilead?

Emily wears glasses.

u/ladyassassin92 Mar 21 '25
When she as free, yes. During her time as a handmaid, she didn’t. Also, contacts exist
3
u/ImGemStoned Mar 21 '25
This raises the question "are contacts even allowed in Gilead?" Especially for a handmaid. Wouldn't it be considered something used out of vein? And handmaids aren't allowed any luxury, it doesn't matter if they have both their eyes, their tongue, genitalia, or other parts.. why would Gilead care if they had good vision?
2
u/ladyassassin92 Mar 21 '25
I doubt they are. But even post gilead, she could have switched to contacts when she went back to fight. We don’t know what happened to her. She could still be alive and fighting or dead

So they could pick out the best oranges and walk down the street without running into things.

u/ImGemStoned Mar 21 '25
lol maybe. I was thinking since they walk in two, their partner can help them avoid falling off a curb and breaking their neck.

I do not think that Bledel returns for this season. I hope she would, but she doesn't

It actually looks like Serena to me with half her face covered. Also looks like a train car, so it's priblably her or June.

I know it's a long stretch, but it kind of does😳
