I gotta say i laughed at the anon saying including Carina in the prt would do the character a disservice, as if she has anything going for her rn. Anything would be better than the housewife who utters 2 sentences every 2 episodes. Stefania had so much hope for her character and i can’t believe she ended up playing the occasional hot housewife. This show needs to be called out for the gaybaiting they have been doing with Marina.

I assume the anon meant the person Carina and what’s important to her, not to the character or rather, the actress playing her. If someone is going to wish for better, why not for something that fits them? I would agree with the previous anon, I’d much prefer, since we’re getting neither at the moment, what delves deeper into Carina the person.

The reason she hasn’t gotten much so far isn’t because the writers couldn’t think of something to fit her character in, like the PRT, she’s just not a priority for them. We’ll see if that changes yet, though I’m sure the complaints I’m already seeing are getting the point across.

With the PRT no more now I’m really wondering what S19 wants with Carina. Part of me is starting to think S19/Shondaland promoted her just so they wouldn’t have to worry about her booking something else. I love Maya and S19 enough to keep watching with or without Marina, but I feel like this sucks for Stefania. She 100% said she didn’t want to be just the girlfriend and so far… Fingers crossed they give her more to do soon

Yeah, though as an I’m actor I’m sure she knows how it goes, I’m hoping it balances out, with more screentime in later eps or at least more on Grey’s.

And another anon:

I am actually quite curious what people were expecting from stefania being a regular on station? What would she do on the show? She’s a doctor, she has no place on a show about firefighters. I just assumed she would only be there as maya’s girlfriend. Some people think they may have her be a new PRT person with Ben but I don’t think I would want her to give up being an OB doctor just so she can get more screentime. I think it would be a disservice to the character especially because she’s so passionate about the profession.

Well, people had been floating around the PRT, though that’s over now, but there’s so much that could be done. They just have to think of her as a regular character and write stories about her sometimes instead of fitting her into others’. That’s the big difference to me.

They could have her stop by more often at the station, bring food, befriend the others, moonlight as a consultant on whatever because of covid, it doesn’t have to necessarily be realistic. Even if it’s just her and Maya, she could get to have a story about her brother and have Maya comforting her. I half expected her to get maybe the same amount of time on Station 19 but then more on Grey’s, but that’s not happening either. And really, even if it was just as Maya’s gf, more than a minute’d be nice. 

I think, interestingly, having Andy move in with them is actually good for that? Because Andy will just always carry the majority of story and screentime with her, so Carina sharing that spotlight can only be a good sign.

And another anon:

Something I noticed. Carina seems to have a lot of respect for Bailey. It goes beyond than her just being her boss. They don’t share many scenes, not even on greys but I wish they would explore that.

I was like, what do you mean, one of the only interactions between them I’ve seen being where in the Grey’s premiere this season she kind of yelled at her, but right, right, the allusions to her boss and always paying attention to what she’s doing, right. And you’re right! I wish they would! Like, at the end of it, doctors or firefighters, this show is about personal relationships, so there’s always more of that if they want to write it.

hey so topic switch from your current asks lol but it’s nice to see you on the manifest tag! did you hear the creator say saanvi would have a romantic plot line in the upcoming season 3 with a character we won’t expect? i’m super curious about it because expected characters would be alex or ben so i’m assuming it won’t be either of them esp. with how good ben/grace are.. won’t lie there’s a part of me hoping it’ll be mick’s partner drea plus the actress has played gay before in charmed (i feel like ben with his connect the dots board rn) or maybe a new character entirely? either way i can’t wait to see what they do with saanvi considering how she ended this last season

Ooh, yes, Manifest, honestly, I’d forgotten all about that. I hadn’t heard anything about it in ages, I wasn’t sure it was even returning anytime soon. Wait, I liked her with Alex, boooo. But I’m glad she won’t die, she was in some trouble at the end .D:

Hmm…right, I’m glad it’s most likely not Ben, I actually really like him with Grace. That dance in the middle of the street…ah, Josh Dallas can do that Charming gaze quite well, heh. 

Not Alex or Ben…I guess Bethany’s also kind of predictable, as the other wlw, and I’d never want to see them broken up (but would like to see more of them in general, please!). Drea definitely fits and I would of course love to see Ellen Tamaki in another f/f role and just have more to do on this show (though most of all I’d love to see her return to Charmed :/), but I’m mostly just hoping it’s not Jared or Zeke, Saanvi doesn’t need to be involved with all that. Wouldn’t it be hilarious if they brought Lourdes back. But no, I think the new character guess isn’t a bad one, it might even be like, someone involved with the military/government? Surely she’s going to only be more embedded on that side of the plot after the season finale, or with, like, someone who knows the Major. But who knows, they’ve kept her…plot-centric enough, I don’t have complaints about that, but so separated from the other characters, her story seems a bit more random than everyone else’s.

Sure sex is great, but have you ever had somebody comment on a fic you wrote over a year ago? And then another one of the same cluster, like they’re working their way through your stuff? I just did for the first time and this must be what the world’s most incredible drug feels like. Jesus Christ I might never come down.

Ah, anon, that sounds so great! I’ve never written any fic, but I know I feel a thrill when I just get an AO3 email about an author replying to a comment I left, I can’t imagine how exponentially better it feels when it’s for a fic, especially when it’s a pattern like that. I hope you always remember that feeling!
