re: Gotham fans prayers have been answered: major character leaving after Season 1

It really feels like the writers have absolutely no clue what to do with her. The whole kidnapped-by-pirates-and-now-held-by-organ-traffickers just seems like they're making it up as they go, it has yet to have any impact whatsoever on the overall storyline and main characters, and I don't think it will.

I think the show just signed her because they needed another name to help promote the show. Then after she got ran out of town in the storyline, one of the producers was like "You know she's under contract for like, 12 more episodes, right?" And I'm guessing the writers said something to the effect of "frick."
