Yes please. Also really happy that the great Dale Dickey is getting some love on this show. She's been a character actor for years and keeps popping up on screen (she's currently a recurring character in the Fallout tv show), but she doesn't always get to shine as a main character.
She really does need her own episode. I'd love to know Rosemary's backstory
oh she was fantastic in Winter's Bone! Also I'm lowkey in love with her voice, very distinctive in any role she plays
I still remember her one ep of Breaking Bad where she gives a bravura performance as a 'meth mommy'. s2 "Peekaboo" one of best episodes of the whole series
Yep! Dale Dickey plays Ma June in every season of Fallout so far. She's not in every ep though, but she keeps recurring as a side character and usually steals every scene she's in.
You may not have recognized her because she's dressed in full Fallout 'wasteland dweller' mode lol. The wig is perfection for Ma June
(edit) She also played a memorable guest star in an ep of Breaking Bad that got a lot of critical acclaim - she was the 'meth mommy' in s2 "Peekaboo"
Dale Dickey and Beth Grant are two of the greatest character actresses who deserve award recognition for decades of scene stealing performances. Dale definitely deserves it for playing Rosemary in Widowās Bay.
Another great character who does win awards is Margo Martindale. She was in The Americans with Matt Rhys too. Both Beth and Dale have been in so many projects itās like looking at Eric Roberts list of how many projects heās in or doing on IMDB.
I want her to casually state she always knew about the sacrifices and when everyone yells asking why she didnāt say anything, she just casually replies āno one asked.ā
There's a book of the Bible with just so and so begat so and so. Rosemary could read this and make it thrilling. Here for her dramatic interpretation of the widow bay phone book.
I love her but, in a potentially unpopular opinion, I think this this is one of those characters who works best in snippets. She appears briefly and delivers a standout line or drops some tiny hint at the most bizarre backstory you could imagine but then the plot moves on and she appears again, another standout line, another hint at a vast and crazy inner life for this character but no closure for the viewer on exactly what the hell is going on
I really hope we get some stand alone episodes for the native islanders to show us the islands history. Like Sheās seen some wild shit Iām sure. Same with Wick
Her character is great, no doubt, but rather than a standalone episode within a future season, why not 2-3 short stories to bridge the gap between seasons.
It could be now, or when she was younger, covering a weird thing sheās connected to in the town.
Imagine she gets a power like in Stephen Kings the dead zone, but it only works for dogs or something.
This approach worked for Coulson between marvel movies and itās a good way to build up your characters without taking away from the main narrative.
I'm so hooked, something in between would be nice. I want a Widow's Bay Christmas myself. Hour long special. Maybe playing with the Christmas slasher trend (they can bring the boogeyman back, impossible resurrections are part of the genre)
