#either way the looming threat of Holly digging up Julie's secret and revealing it to KANE?? just absolutely TICKLES me

[dearheart42regenerated]

so I LOVE the idea of bringing Holly back in with maybe a bit of a "character makeover" so that we don't have the tired misogynistic trope of a jealous woman "competing" for a love interest's attention lol...BUT. ALSO. toxic femininity can be genuinely compelling and delicious in a character when it's executed well.

WHAT IF: instead of Holly seeing Julie as a threat and poking holes in her "intern" story from the Burner side - we had her doing all that from the KaneCo side? Holly, the ambitious cutthroat corporate businesswoman. Holly, the aspiring-CEO girlboss.

instead of competing with Julie for Mike's attention, she's competing for Kane's. because she's gonna get all the way to the top of the corporate ladder no matter who she has to step on, she's worked too long and fought too hard for every pay raise and ounce of respect she's got in this place, and goddammit why is this random intern suddenly landing big positions and getting promotions and special "training seminars" with Kane?

what makes Julie so special? she's clearly nowhere near as qualified and dedicated as Holly is, like...what is she really up to?? constantly running around and disappearing when she thinks nobody's looking?? SOMETHING sketchy is going on.......
