I wouldn't want her in my life, and neither would you. Goldberg did not anticipate that Sally would turn down the TV job: “I can’t imagine she’s having an easy time paying her rent. She's self-absorbed and deliberately hurtful and unbearably conceited around her now less successful acting colleagues. When Sam gives her the playbill - something she would probably be hyped about to get from literally anyone else - she's polite and then immediately tries to bolt.
She's selfish, narcissistic, self-absorbed - she's an LA actress, of course she is. The exchange is concluded by Barry shooting Chris in the head from outside his car window. And while jealously and resentment is obviously not an endearing quality, she at least expressed how she felt honestly while Barry continued to be completely oblivious and unconcerned.
Everything you mentioned was spot on. She gets rightfully criticized for being self absorbed and narcissistic, but again, Gene does the same thing, potentially worse because he's essentially scamming his students out of money.Her resentment isn't healthy, and how she tried to blow it off and close the line of communication and return the focus on him (because she's still happy for him, and still wants him to get the part, and she's probably embarrassed/ashamed of her outburst) definitely isn't healthy.Idk, let me know what you guys think ig!I would really dislike her as a person, but how selfish and self-absorbed and complex she is just make me love watching her as a character. Since she didn't outright say "don't come to my play" he acted as if that meant she was fine for him to be there when it was clearly not the case.I would consider a relationship already physically abusive when someone starts breaking or hitting objects during an argument.I'm more disturbed by the people who are still saying that Sally is lying. I found this so uncomfortable to watch because he was doing it deliberately to make her come into the room. The party episode from S1 is one of the cringiest things I've ever watchedI think people would have more sympathy for Barry if the sexes were reversed.
She’s not supposed to be likable, she’s based off of REAL people who live that lifestyle.I think they do a good juxtaposition between her and Barry. Especially since the writers clearly left it ambiguous about how true her story was (on the phone with her friend). 112.
The person who's being abused is trapped in a situation where they're terrified to leave, but they also feel guilty for wanting to leave in the first place.
While I'm sure there are some misogynists that hate her character, making a prediction about a TV show doesn't mean you're unsympathetic to abuse victims. His behavior continues to escalate until, when Sally says that she isn't going to stop the play, the final phase "abuse" occurs.It isn't a show Sally is putting on - there's nobody there to see it and she's extremely clear about not wanting to be the kind of person who confronts her abuser that way.
“This bottomless appetite we have for male violence and this absolute allergy we have to female ambition—it constantly astounds me,” she said.
If anything it’s one of the more thought provoking comedies I’ve seen and honestly it leans in the direction of drama so often that it can’t even just be considered a comedy.And the audition thing: how she dealt with it in regards to venting at Barry was REALLY not great, but I feel like you can understand how she's so stressed about the play, so angry about Payback Girls or whatever, how frustrated she is about trying so hard to break into showbiz and getting nowhere when a newb like Barry has gotten further than her after doing nothing, and yet still so happy for him at the same time.I don't love her, but I'm very sympathetic toward her and feel for her.

Everyone thinks abuse victims have to act a certain way. But then I thought, ‘O.K., I think this is where the evolution begins with her.’”The season ends with Sally in a conundrum: the lie that is “suffocating” her is now the thing that’s gotten her what she’s always wanted. She's normally a very open and expressive person and as soon as she saw him she just shrank and muted herself.
They are mean.
Her violent marriage was eventually briefly alluded to in the first season.The role can still surprise her. I think that you regress.” She made the argument that Sally would become a younger, less self-assured version of herself when faced with Sam.
The way he treats the Chechens (sp?) TVMA • Comedy • TV Series (2004) Hung. I just wanted to know if the antagonising attitude of Sally was something intended for in-depth character purposes, or if I was just being negativeName one likable thing about her? You aren’t supposed to “like” her.She’s every mediocre actor trying everything they can to achieve fame.
He also ran out as soon as Barry saw him, so he knew that he was unwanted but he still decided that his wants were more important.During this scence, he also showed himself as manipulative because he used Sally's exact words against her. She just seems way too self absorbed.Do you realize how weird and off-putting it would be to sleep with someone you’re not dating and then the next day they’re starting fights in your honor and buying you gifts worth tens of hundreds of dollars?
