I don't feel sorry for Avice


She wanted to play with the big dogs, but didn't have what it took. She didn't have the talent or the brains. She thought she could get what she wanted by sleeping with Michael, to find out that he only cared about the PLAY, not her.

Whatever you say about Julia, she's the real deal. She has the talent and she used it to take Avice down.

But Julia was much older and much more experienced.

This was Avice's first play and she just wasn't used to a live audience and Julia threw her a curve ball. If Julia had thrown lots of hissy, diva fits she would be better prepared or would just refuse to work with her. Avice was a bit dim but she didn't do anything that Julia herself didn't do!

Including banging Julia's husband! Was Julia supposed to be nice to her?

I agree with you and obviously disagree with those on the other threads bleating about "poor Avice."

She did want to play with the big dogs and was soundly put in her place by the resident alpha female.

Still as Michael reminds her, she did get a contract in a hit play.

BTW I can't get enough of Lucy Punch. She is just so appealing.
