#to be clear though i don’t think gerri like hates roman by 3.9 or something! i think there’s still some affection there

yeah, to your point about their interests not aligning, roman seems to view his self-interests as what will make his family life better, when gerri meant self-interest as in business strategy. for ex when roman won’t sign shiv’s letter about kendall he says it’s ‘not in his best interests.’ really what he meant was he doesn’t want to permanently besmirch his brother like that. so yes, a lot of miscommunication throughout roman and gerri’s relationship unfortunately :(

i personally don’t put a ton of stock into actors’ opinions. often the succession cast has really fascinating insights into their characters, but i don’t take their insights to be inherently accurate. smith-cameron and culkin’s opinions on the ep are interesting but i interpreted it a different way 🤷‍♀️ i know a lot of fans disagree with me though which is obvs fine

so weird to me when people debate whether gerri ‘betrayed’ roman or not because like. actually what she did was the exact opposite of betrayal because up until that moment roman was solidly Team Logan and gerri still is. so actually what she did was not betray logan for the kids. siding with the kids would have been the betrayal! i know she and roman were a team but really he betrayed that team first by siding with his siblings - or at the very least he dissolved that team by siding with his siblings and not telling gerri.
