Did you ever watch Happy Endings? Sterling is basically young Jane Kerkovich (and canonically still bi!)

Oh, hmmm. I see where you’re coming from, they’re both the kind of put together sister but I think their roles within their sister relationships made them develop in different ways? Jane is the older one and kind of takes over things but Sterling is a twin and equal with Blair and in fact, because of their personalities, almost the one more sheltered. But overall, I do see what you mean, especially when she grows up.

And another anon:

Someone said that Sterling looks like sister Camila.

Oh, hmm… Not the first comparison I’d jump to but I see it.

And another anon:

I don’t know why but to me the actress that plays Sterling looks like a mix between Hunter Schafer and Cara Delevingne

Ohhh, right, I can see both of those. Someone also just mentioned Florence Pugh to me and it’s kind of funny how suddenly, along with Ava from WN, a significant amount of the discussion is who the actress resembles. But it’s also cool how after a certain amount of exposure they become their own person to us. 🙂

Oh I meant Sterling was Billie Piper, ha. April looks like a Disney star to me but I can’t place it.

Oh, okay, lol. I don’t know if I can see that, I’ve already decided Sterling looks like (obviously a super young version of) Hope Davis, it’s this thing they both do with the mouth especially.

Hmm, I don’t know most Disney stars so I don’t know if that works… And thank you to the other anons:

DA She kind of reminds me of young Anna Chlumsky.

To me April looks like a dead ringer for Alexa Havins, who played Babe Carey on All My Children. Who I personally hated so much for the baby switch storyline. I don’t known if you watched All My Children but they had a wlw storyline with Bianca Montgomery. I think BAM was my first shop, back in the day. But yeah April reminds me of Alexa so much, it was jarring especially because she sounds like her a little too. To be fair the three main girls, I just keep being reminded of other people.

April reminds me of Lucy from The Chronicles of Narnia (the actress is Georgie Henley)! I don’t know if they look similar to you, but I just thought I’d let you know since you were wondering who she looked like 🙂

I’m not thinking of any of those…it’s such a clear image, just on the cusp of remembering everything else about her, but not yet. But, the ones you all named actually look super close to each other so maybe I’m the one missing something. Also, no, I haven’t yet watched either of the AMC ships (I’m not sure which one I want to ship, since I tend to go for just one and go hard) but definitely heard of them!

Wasnt going to watch TBH just because it didn’t look like my sort of thing but I got bored so I did. I’m on ep4 and I love Blair, idc about Sterling or April(i know they get involved) honestly when I see her all I think of is Dr.Who era Billie Piper lol

Hmm, Billie Piper… I’m still trying to think of who April/Devon Hales reminds me of, it’s beginning to really annoy me. I’ve already considered and dismissed Anna Maxwell Martin, Amanda Schull, and Majandra Delfino and it’s not Billie Piper… 

I love Blair but I usually like the goody two shoes characters so Sterling was my fave from the start. Although Blair is only like 1% more bad and acts like she’s a full on rebel, lol. I actually thought she would be the f/f character, IF it were going to be one of them, I was also considering the mom, but Blair’s lack of falling for any one guy and general vibe made me think it’d be her. But yeah, you can’t like Blair and not like Sterling! Or vice versa! They’re a package deal.

even as “enemies” april confided so much in sterling about her dad, i wonder if sterling will do the same about her (SPOILERS) kidnapping/mom/not being blair’s twin issues. it’d be nice to see the roles switch where april is the one giving comfort to sterling

I mean, I’d LOVE if she did, and I feel like if they were real people, she absolutely would, April shared all that and she was still super mad at Sterling, Sterling’s actually mostly fine with her. But I’m not sure they’ll write it that way. TV seasons are built as these interweaving arcs, right, everything has to work together, like their arc had to build and really take off in the last few eps, after the break up with Luke, it had to be the reason why Sterling would get distracted enough from Blair to cause a rift, the breakup would need to happen in ep 10 along with the information about April’s dad getting out and add to the whole list of things Sterling was going through in the finale, plot developments can’t just be natural and organic, they have to feed into and be fed by each other.

So next season, it’s not just, she gets home and calls up April, we might not even get April or school at all in the first eps, there’s gonna be so much fallout and only then–well, unless John Stevens starts his plan to get revenge on them, then there’s gonna be a reason for their arcs to combine again. Most likely April will find out in some much more dramatic way, possibly not even from Sterling but Blair. Really depends on how they structure the season.

So, how do you think April will react when she finds out the twins were the ones who grabbed her dad? On the one hand, they basically blew up April’s family, on the other, it did reveal what an a-hole he really was.

Ooof, first thought? Sterling better hope her gf isn’t as good with a gun as her. But what they may actually do? I dunno, it’s SO expected that she’ll totally blow up at her, right, and that definitely would make for a lot of juicy drama, but maybe they’ll subvert it? Have her go quiet and then be like, good. I really don’t know.

TBH is worth the watch for the wlw?

Uh, hmm, I think so… it depends, when you say that, do you mean is the wlw good enough to watch even if you hate the rest OR do you mean is there little enough m/f. If it’s the first, I think so, you may want to stick with eps 6 onward, if it’s the second, then just the very end of 6 and then 7 and 8, lol, but honestly, I was liking the show without any knowledge of the f/f, it’s funny and silly and not too deep. The f/f was more than a bonus, it ended up integral to the story, but I would have enjoyed the season even without it.

Because of who Sterling asked for relationship advice (and that threesome joke there was on the show with April) Do you think they could go down a April/Sterling/Luke road? Thoughts?

I mean….I never rule anything out because at the end of the day, these aren’t people with their own thoughts and wants, they’re fictional characters the writers move around for maximum entertainment and drama, so I can’t say that they might not go for some super ill-conceived awkward threesome but even then, I can’t imagine it’d be for any purpose other than to show how awful an idea it would be.

For one thing, the show’s made clear that April’s a lesbian and that she’s actually okay with it. So I don’t know why she’d even do that. Even if there’s some attempt to basically conversion therapy her, or something for appearance’s sake to put her dad off the trail, that is the absolute worst message the show would want to go with. Secondly, even if it were like, uh, a V, so no April/Luke, the show has ALSO made clear that even though Sterling is most likely bi, she’s not actually in love with Luke, at all. If she can be with April, there’s no need for her to be with Luke, she only kissed him because she was heartbroken over April. She’s not equally torn between the two and can’t choose. Like, if the April/Sterling leg is on, as harsh as it is to say, there’s no need for the third point. Also, lastly, even if it WERE for appearance’s sake, a threesome would be super scandalous on its own in this community and would not actually fix anything they’d want fixed.

So yeah, it’s possible, but then so much would have gone wrong with the writing to get to that point that I’m not sure I’d care specifically about that anymore, you know?
