This is The Gilded Age! Being a stan does not require knowing every character’s name. If you aren’t doing some variation of calling the Russell’s head butler Betty Gilpin’s dad, Audra McDonald’s character Audra McDonald, the Van Rhijn niece one of the Gummer gals, and Agnes’ asshole lady’s maid Maureen’s mom, you are not doing it right!
I know Debra Monk is a Tony winner and she does have all of my respect, but she will always be Maureen’s overbearing bitch mom from Center Stage to me. Donna Murphy is in that one too!
I was just yelling at my tv that the Reverend Forte literally went from giving sermons to falling over in the living room in like, 2 days! Come on!
Thank you for your hilarious recap. It had me cackling and nodding along the whole time. Can’t wait for next week!

DIVA UP indeed! Will Christine Baranski have to cross the street to ask for money? Will ye olde John Adams save them? I love this show
