Being of course the concept. I just never really liked her. I dunno, maybe it's just that it's a basic that she should grow into herself that I'm not all that moved when she does. That and the person she becomes is someone I don't like all that much.
I guess I just really don't see how there's any way that they could have written Rose that would have made you happy. Her character's premise is 'shopgirl who discovers her own potential' and if that's a storyline that you just innately dislike, it's doomed for you (whereas 'elegant lady who is irresistible to men and even loved by those women that she is, of course, so much more beautiful and wonderful than' is a character premise that I dislike, so once I discovered in the episode that that's who Reinette was, she didn't have all that much chance with me).
Which is why the idea offered by some that she should 'go back home' to her mother at the end of the season rather horrifies me.
I think she probably will. Unless Jackie dies or something.
Rose going home really does sound like the most depressing ending in the world to me. If they do that to her, I probably wouldn't trust them enough to give series three a try.
