Lori is ranked seventh for me (it’s important that for me, 6-8 are closely ranked). She’s an interesting case for me. On one hand, I really appreciate her complexity. She cares for her siblings and wants them to depend on her. I like how she has these insecurities about her place in the family and her loved ones. It’s great. But on the other hand, I’ve been disappointed by some of the ways in which the show has handled said character flaws. With the exception of “Drivin Miss Hazy”, anything she does that’s caused by this insecurity is either ignored or excused. To me, while these actions are understandable, the show must address them as both serious and wrong. Rather than being excused, they should be used in order to help Lori learn from her mistakes, to help move past these insecurities rather than allow them to fester into other people’s lives.
