You and I are in the same boat apparently. I heard about all this Otalia stuff in January. LOL And yeah, I'm glad I didn't know she'd hired a hitman to kill Ava until now. LOL
I believe I will reconsider the redemption thing based on what you said. I believe you. She is (usually) completely honest in her life. This trend of self-sacrifice and "nobility" (I loathe when lesbians are described as "noble" for bowing out of their loves' lives to make way for the "normal" man, don't you?) in the face of Natalia's "happiness" is so unnatural. It's bothering the hell out of me too.
I am completely unable to bear the thought of what the writers might do to her next week. I'll be glad to see Natalia do whatever she does because anything is better than the Stepford Wife nothing we've been getting. However, Olivia needs to be Olivia again and soon.
Thank God for the AU Otalia that lives in my head and in the heads of other authors (such as yourself). :)
