i'm so dumb, i didn't even CONSIDER THAT THEY'D NAME THE BABY AFTER CHARLES... charlie ryder????????? i have tears
Lol! You are NOT dumb. There is a lot to keep track of with this show after an 8 month hiatus. Especially when we're all going back and forth taking turns upping the emotional angst around here. 😂
My head canon (and wish) is that the writers do not miss the opportunity to name her Charlotte Faith Ryder, aka Charlie Ryder 😭. It's totally inspired by fandom discourse during the hiatus, and it is perfect. The LS writers have a tendency to sometimes miss storytelling opportunities that heighten the emotional engagement/connection between the viewers and the story/characters. I hope this is not one of those times!
I know we just started season 3 so we haven't had time to really see how Tommy is doing, but I know she and the Ryders miss Charles (understatement I’m sure). Since the writers chose to take that direction with his character, I hope they intend to find a way to honor him and keep him tied to the Ryders/Tommy. This would be a lovely way to do it! Plus, I know Tommy will be Godmom so I love it even more! Meeting Baby Ryder is one of the highlights of the season for me, no doubt.
