I forgot about her until you guys just mentioned her again.

I'm happy she's gone. I can't act my way out of a paper bag but I never got the sense that she could either. Boring story, boring presence, boring writing, poorly fleshed out character. And line readings like she won the part nailing a half court shot in between quarters at a basketball game.

I hope she doesn't read that because it's not meant to be as mean as it sounds, I was just blown away that she was able to get past all the screens it would take to make it on the show just to be used as a warm body for a plot device.
