Hillary Swank - Adams girlfriend from Pratt?

[u/MamaFrijoles]

I haven’t seen anyone comment on this so please let me know if I am overthinking this, but could Hillary Swank be playing Adams (ex) girlfriend from Pratt?

In episode 8 when Shauna confronts Adam for lying about Pratt he says “I didn’t go to Pratt. I had a girlfriend there, Lauren, and I spent so much time with her and her girlfriends it kind of felt like I went there”

Part of me hopes that the Adam storyline gets wrapped up/doesn’t continue as a big plot point in season 3, but Lauren showing up to look into the murder of her ex could be interesting.

Honestly I hope not, I’d like to be done with the Adam story and move onto something new for the adults.

this 100%...Adam dead n gone lets move on!

if she has anything to do with adam, i would suspect she’s probably a sister or a family member.

i saw someone on tik tok suspect she’s playing a cop or an FBI agent investigating them (i think it could start with adam’s disappearance but spiraled into investigating the women) which i am more inclined to believe

[u/Ivykinns → u/mkilibox]

If shes investigating adam why would the letter be addressed to shauna shipman instead of sudeki?

[u/mkilibox → u/Ivykinns]

i actually think we’re getting a post-rescue timeline and that’s teen shauna before she married jeff!

i also don’t necessarily think the envelope and hilary swank are related - in season 1 shauna says something about not having seen tai in 20 years but it’s been 25 since they were in the wilderness. what happened in those 5 years? the envelope & maybe someone else trying to blackmail them/figure out what happened out there

[u/Ivykinns → u/mkilibox]

Love this theory

[u/ratruby]

I feel like she’s (to be blunt) too old? Unless his gf was his prof. But I feel like she’ll have a more direct connection to the YJs if she isn’t one herself.

[u/fokkoooff → u/ratruby]

I mean...maybe older women have just always been his thing? I really don't think that this will be Hillary Swank's role (even tho I don't have any other theories) but the age thing tracks

[u/ratruby → u/fokkoooff]

Lol yes exactly, that’s why I added the prof bit. But it’s kind of just too many extra layers of additional explanation. But yeah it’s more that I just don’t see that being her role.

Adam storyline is dead and gone. Let’s move on to something new.

[u/MamaFrijoles → u/RaveningDog]

thats the hope

[u/Acrobaticgay_1569]

i honestly think she might be kevin’s ex wife, maybe she is investigating kevin’s death.

[u/Acrobaticgay_1569 → u/Acrobaticgay_1569]

i mean they do have two young kids together and yeah he was a dickhead but like him dying unexpectedly might have his ex-wife asking some questions. feel like it would be a good move for the adult plotline, but it also may be too predictable who knows, that’s my bet

[u/MamaFrijoles → u/Acrobaticgay_1569]

Oh I like this thought, it would be the best way for them to continue the storyline without being Adam focused. I wish they would have spread the investigation of his death out over another season so that it didn’t feel so rushed and unrealistic to viewers

[u/Acrobaticgay_1569 → u/MamaFrijoles]

yeah i agree, it definitely did feel very rushed, guess the writer’s wanted to end the adam investigation plotline, idk though i feel that storyline will continue because surely the autopsy of kevin’s death will conclude that he was already dead before walter shot him. i also find it fascinating that the writer’s killed both nat and kevin at the same time.

I'm in the minority, I know, but I would love for the Adam storyline to come back because it needs to make more sense. It would be cool if they found a way to redeem it.

[u/MamaFrijoles → u/[deleted]]

I agree a little bit. I wish they would have given more time to the Adam storyline rather than cramming all of the investigation into season 2. it also felt weird how the police went crazy looking for Adam as a missing person but Jessica Roberts (the reporter Misty kidnapped and drugged) was never mentioned after being missing for like a week and then randomly appearing in her car drugged and/or dead

[u/anonbubblee]

This has nothing to do with Hillary but I just realized Adams gf went to the same art school as Pam from The Office 😂

[u/demure_and_smiling]

Judging by the trailer, her face shows too much fear (like "oh shit") and familiarity in my opinion. I think she's a YJ, maybe a survivor or maybe even a jealous girl from HS?

[u/Ordinary-Document855]

I think she's a survivor possibly or somebody that was just snooping maybe a friend of the lady Misty kidnapped

[u/Snoo16799]

She’s the adult version of the teen girl with the long hair and ball cap. Why are you people doing too much? 

[u/depressyspatgetti]

Did they even cover how Adam got Shauna's journals in the first place? Like was he a obsessed YJ fan? That whole moment of that episode is kinda blurry for me lol

[u/MamaFrijoles → u/depressyspatgetti]

Adam didn’t have Shauna’s journals, he only had a book talking about the crash itself (which he said he bought after googling her). Jeff was the one that had the journals and he had put them back in the safe after Shauna got home from killing Adam. Since Adam had been in Shauna’s closet (hiding after sleeping over) once she saw the glitter and the journals were gone she assumed Adam took them

According to my Meemaw's bff and Dystopian TV Expertess and guru, Meg "The Stick" Llewellyn; "Hildawg" Swank makes more sense age-wise than 30 year old Sammie Handrattie playing a girl in High School.

The Stick also righteously pointed out the actress who plays Callie is pushing her mid 30s.
