Her father? any photograph except the one with Charlie?<br /><br />I used to think that there was a reason for not writing for Olivia,<br /><br />Now I realize they just did not want to, just as much as Wyman really does want to for Etta.<br /><br />And everything that is said about season 5 by Wyman, it is certain that the role of Olivia is again the go-between, <br />where they could finally give her the active central story.<br /><br />My final rant about how they wasted a great female character and with that underused a brilliant actress (luckily for Anna there was AltLivia, otherwise she would never had any credit).<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-788645746622659643.post-4782737670158514832012-10-10T18:49:32.008-04:002012-10-10T18:49:32.008-04:00Actually, Karen, Etta removed the device from her ...Actually, Karen, Etta removed the device from her backpack which was over in the corner.
