I hope they warned her about the hate about to come her way for simply taking this role.
- Why is that?
- They could take the cowards way out and not make the tv version hateable...
  
  Check this guy's Twitter dms
  
  Care to elaborate?
Time to hit the gym. Maybe move into it. I want a buff Abby!
I haven't kept up with her career but she was excellent on Justified.
- She was also very good on Dopesick.
  
  And has been on the newest Tim Allen sitcom, which I may not like but it's at least regular work.
- Saved me from having to read the article to find out where I recognised her from. Cheers.
Man, hope she's up for it.
I was hoping for Florence Pugh
She is kinda old and not buff at all so it is kind of a surprising choice. Hopefully she's thick skinned though because she will get so many death threats...
- She's 27 and Abby was "in her early 20s" so it's wild to say she's kinda old. And actors put on mass and muscle all the time.
- If 27 is old, you might be too young to be on the internet.
  
  It's a young gen Z thing. Anybody over 25 is an ancient fucking fossil to them for some reason. I can't wait until they're in their early 30's like I am, and realize that they still feel young (while they try to heal that shitty left knee that hurts for no reason when they crouch down too far.)
  
  I'm guaranteed older than you buddy. And yes, almost a decade older is too old when you play a character this young.
