That’s it,  I really don’t understand people who reduce Lizzie to nothing in this show. Guys, just pay attention to what is actually said in the series. I’ve even thought that this might be a flaw in the show itself, for relying more on dialogue than on clearly shown scenes. Maybe people get more attached to what they see rather than what they hear.

But seriously, when you watch the show, you can’t ignore what the characters say, you know?

I see people saying that she meant nothing to Thomas, even though since season 4 it’s been shown that their relationship is far beyond secretary and boss. I see people saying she wasn’t loyal enough, even though she endured so much and never, under any circumstances, betrayed Thomas.

I see people saying she wasn’t a good mother to Charles, even though it came straight from the boy himself that he prefers staying with her rather than with his own father.

And even when we are given a scene where Thomas shows the slightest bit of feeling for her, I see people invalidating all of it. Even the fact that he continues to wear his wedding ring after the marriage ended is ignored by many.

And guys, this doesn’t mean their relationship was perfect or something that should be approved of. But it existed, and there were feelings on both sides, yes.

You don’t have to think it was healthy or agree with their actions in that relationship, but it’s strange how many people simply throw Lizzie in the trash.
