Tftnt!

You're welcome

And I thought I could bring that post of Amy's over here to continue the discussion:

Quote:

I think that eventually Liz needs to know the truth. Red decided to place himself directly into her life so when he passes on I feel like he owes it to her to give her the truth about who she is and where she comes from. I think it would be very devastating if Red were to die and Liz never learned anything about who she was.

Yeah, same here and I'm sure that Red is well aware on how unfair that would be. He wants to protect her but I think he's enough experience in life to know that it's really difficult for a person not to know where her roots lie. And he knows it pains her, he always only has the best intentions and I think he'll tell her at some point. He planed on this the whole time it might just not be the right time for now. And Red told her that with time she would find all of that out, he promised her even (even about their connection). So yes, I guess Red has an emergency plan in case he shouldn't live to that day and Mr. Kaplan is important in that plan.

tftnt Kris

I am so excited that she's on her 3rd thread

Lauren Helen Graham · 05-30-2015, 12:26 PM

Susan is just awesome. I love her so much. I wish we'd get an interview with her or something because I'd love to know how she is in interviews, how she's talking when not playing a role.

And I just searched the internet for an interview of hers but couldn't find a single one

That's really sad.

***One Thing Remains*** · 05-30-2015, 02:22 PM

aww that is sad

I hope someone decides to interview her soon. I would like her thoughts on her role as well.

Miranda · 05-30-2015, 04:00 PM

TFTNT Kris! Her 3rd one already and she has only been in 7 or 8 episodes!

That really sucks that there is not one interview to be found with Susan.

I agree. Red has to tell Liz the whole truth sometime. I just hope he won't die before he can do that cause I am sure that Mr. Kaplan knows a lot and knows what to tell Liz if Red were to die but there will be questions that Mr. Kaplan can't answer.

Lauren Helen Graham · 05-31-2015, 03:50 AM

Maybe if she has a bigger part in season 3, she might be interviewed at some point

I won't give up home.

That might be true. And Red knows Lizzie a lot better and that's why I think he needs to tell her. He knows HOW to tell her. Mr. Kaplan lacks that knowledge and although this woman is so great I doubt she would be the right one to do.

***One Thing Remains*** · 05-31-2015, 09:45 AM

I think that one day Red will tell Liz. I would be disappointed if Mr. Kaplan, Dembe, or anyone other than Red would be the one to tell her the truth.

I am hoping that we get a lot of Mr. Kaplan next season

Miranda · 05-31-2015, 12:41 PM

I am hoping for a lot of Mr. Kaplan in season 3 too!

I agree. I think if Mr. Kaplan would tell Liz everything she might have even more questions than before and the only one to answers those questions is Red.

Lauren Helen Graham · 05-31-2015, 12:43 PM

But if Red wouldn't be anymore I couldn't think of anybody else besides Mr. Kaplan telling her. That's fact.

Miranda · 06-01-2015, 01:16 PM

True. I totally agree on that. Or maybe Mr. Kaplan and Dembe tell her together. I think Liz would trust Dembe more than Mr. Kaplan.

***One Thing Remains*** · 06-01-2015, 01:39 PM

I could see Mr. Kaplan or Dembe telling her to be honest.

Lauren Helen Graham · 06-02-2015, 04:00 AM

I somehow can't see Dembe telling her... I can't even say why because he's always been loyal, nice and really there for her, too. But somehow I think the better one with words is just Mr. Kaplan why I think she would be the best to know her. Besides, it has something to do with her age...

She seems wiser to me because of her age.

Miranda · 06-02-2015, 10:40 AM

I mean that Dembe would tell Liz if Red would be dead.

I really want to know if Mr. Kaplan has a husband and/or kids. I think she doesn't so how suprised would I be if she does..
