Lynn Herring in this first scene with Bobbie and Charlene is simply amazing...Lucy appeared absolutely and completely unhinged in that moment, frighteningly so...Jackie actually looked genuinely scared of her at certain points lol
lucy is a brat. she doesnt want that child , only the money that comes with her. lucy has never thought of anyone but herself and that is who she will always be.
There is such a thing as making someone too evil - Lucy is 100% evil and sociopathic - makes for a more interesting villain when there are some layers, even just a small one that reveals a bit of humanity. No such thing with the character they created of Lucy - she's loathsome through and through. Shame - LH was good enough to depict more than this - Not sure what Lucy evolved into because I stopped watching in early 90s.
