So O'Hara is in three episodes? Two, if you don't count the Skype thing. Way to cut my favorite character. I hope this was Eve Best's idea and not the writers.
ReplyDeleteSame here. I love Jackie but O'Hara is my favorite by far... :(
ReplyDeleteWow this spoiled the whole season. I'm not complaining I'm just kinda shocked in a good way
ReplyDeleteI think that Jackie never made it to the meeting. There are too many people there who said they were not going to go (Eddie, Grace). Is she lying on her bed asleep? Just thinking.
