#the romangerri news cycle simply never stops feeding us

Listened to J. Smith-Cameron’s interview on the podcast The Back Room with Andy Ostroy and there were a few RomanGerri bits in about the last 10 minutes, transcribed below!

JSC: “And then I remember [Jesse Armstrong, at the start of filming season four] saying in terms of the arc of the Roman/Gerri story that he makes this sort of spectacle of himself in his grief at the funeral and that then, though, Gerri and he have a poignant scene where Gerri tries to be nice to him, and that scene didn’t make it into the cut.”

the fact that this was literally the big thing jesse armstrong told her about roman and gerri’s arc at the start of the season .......... and then it got cut out ............ cool cool cool ... my supervillain origin story grows ever deeper ....... (i feel grimly validated in my season-long sense that the scene in 4.03 where she refused to comfort him was always supposed to eventually be bookended with a scene where she did, tho. 🥲😢)

and then this bit was in a lightning round where he asked her about how she thinks various facets of the show would go after the ending!

Andy Ostroy: “Do Gerri and Roman have any kind of sexual interaction again?” JSC: (pause; then, firmly) “Yes. I think so.” Andy Ostroy: “Good answer.”

good answer INDEED 💗
