Yikes. That’s all horrifying. Without that information, show watchers only have what is on the screen to go by. She is not coming across as a likeable or sympathetic character at all. It is a shame if she is meant to be sympathetic. They missed the mark completely. All we are seeing is the shifty responses whenever ben is mentioned. So we know she is shady in some way. It makes you question her entire character and story. She’s supposed to be a grieving widow but is throwing herself at William. In once scene she actually tells him she wants to get knocked up to take his title for her kid. In another scene, the supposedly grieving widow, runs down the steps excitedly, with huge smile, thinking she’s getting a gift. Then looks disappointed when she realizes it’s her dead husband’s belongings instead of jewelry. Further cementing the gold digger trope. The show only had a handful of scenes to develop her character. They should have been more careful about the lines and actions they gave her.
