Shulienne part ½

They've murdered Trixie's entire character if they set her up with Aylward. Trixie - the most stringent supporter of women (on a show about women supporting women), would NEVER go with a man who was not only her deceased patient's husband, but also her deceased FRIEND'S husband. There are two lines there - professional and personal - that she would not cross.

Secondly, wasn't he revealed to literally be a slum landlord?! My gal Trix would NEVER even TOUCH that man after that was revealed. She'd be close to straight-up murdering him! After all we've seen of her and after all she's seen of poverty-stricken women struggling to live - DYING, she's seen friends and patients DIE in those conditions - she would simply never go with a man who was the DIRECT CAUSE of that. She loves her job and her patients too much.

Honestly it all feels like a betrayal of her character and it's really breaking my heart to know that Heidi either doesn't care about Trixie as a character OR doesn't understand her as a person enough to know that this entire storyline would be disgusting to her.

Also ya know that the middle aged straight women think Aylward is hot therefore it doesn't matter that he's a useless wet blanket and recently-widowed slum owner. Easy to see why they don't care about this major sellout of Trixie's character when they'd do the same.

I mean come on, this scene, the flashback that goes with it, everything just perfection. UGH and Laura’s smile, it makes me way to happy I can’t even express it!!!!!!!!!!
