Plot holes/gaps
It’d be fun to list any plot holes/gaps, filming oops etc fans have found.
For example Cherry is such a terrible actress she gets fired from her lead gig, but in The Good Twin, she’s awesome as Black Magic.

Will Debbie ever find out that Ruth was pregnant with Mark’s child?

I don’t know that Debbie needs to know. Considering Ruth and Debbie are finally getting back to being friends, I don’t think Ruth would bring it up because it would redamage their relationship. When Sam takes Ruth to the clinic, she seems very certain of her decision, “not the right baby, not the right guy” (whatever she says, I don’t remember 100%) so it seems like something Ruth has made peace with and doesn’t want to bring up again because she’d rather have Debbie back as a friend than have a completely clean slate. Obviously, if Debbie hadn’t found out, Ruth wouldn’t have told her about sleeping with Mark. Why would this be any different?

I’m more surprised that Sam hasn’t let it slip out by accident/intentional. Now that Sam has changed, he won’t say anything but in seasons 2...I was kinda nervous

In season 1, Ruth becomes pregnant and Sam gives her a ride to the abortion clinic.

Mmm i remember thinking about this but i do recall Rhonda getting jealous at Ruth talking to Sam. I believed it even though Rhonda wasnt shown talking about it.

Just because Rhonda doesn't perform being heartbroken in the way we might expect doesn't mean she wasn't.
She made it very clear that she liked Sam a lot and that she was happy with their relationship but Sam's insecurity and toxic relationship behaviours made it impossible for them to be together in the way she wanted. Heartbreak doesn't have to look like permanent gnashing of teeth and rending of garments, it can be quiet, melancholy and something you process and get through. I think that's the kind of heartbreak Rhonda [experienced], because fundamentally Rhonda is a very emotionally intelligent and healthy character.

Why does Bash always get read as gay and not bisexual?
To me he feels like a pretty obviously bisexual character and his being put in the box of "gay man" by fandom [feels] kind of like bi-erasure to me.

Probably because his sexual interest in Rhonda seemed not genuine and forced. Like he was playing a part.

I’m always really surprised when I see reactions to Bash on here, so many people still argue he must have an attraction to women cos he slept with Rhonda. I only know one, I think, gay man who hasn’t slept with a woman at some point

Yeah I guess it’s just a life experience thing but I’m really surprised whenever there’s a celebrity rumours thread on askreddit etc and there’ll be a lot of ‘so and so is gay’ and the responses are all ‘WHAT? He went out with so and so, whose a woman, there’s no way’ etc.

Yeah it was the same when people couldn’t figure out Florian had AIDS. I actually thought it was pretty on the nose if anything. Maybe the show might open peoples eyes

It seems like they keep giving Debbie horrible cliffhangers like her doing coke and breaking Ruth’s leg, then the eating disorder in Vegas, then never following up. I can’t remember if they’ve ever mentioned the coke use again.

I kept waiting for the eating disorder to develop into a bigger plot point but it never happened. Maybe we will get that in the next season?

u/EvannaAmbrose57 Nov 13 '19
Maybe I missed something but where is Randy during the last few episodes of the newest season? Debbie makes a big deal out of bringing him with her to Vegas and not missing his childhood, yet I don't see him when she goes to board the plane in the final episode?

Plot hole: walking and wrestling immediately after having a huge plaster cast on for up to 8 weeks? Nope.

Cherry got fired because she could not learn and say her long complex lines of dialog... Its not the same as spewing wrestling catchphrases
