The disparity and arguably downfall of HBO’s live-action adaptation of the video game of the same name,
For context,
What happened? Questionable choices throughout the second season, including Joel’s death, sent the fandom spiraling.
Fans of the video game were disappointed with various pieces of dialogue and changes. Meanwhile, fans of the show with no prior knowledge of Joel’s death, in particular, were betrayed.
The heart and soul of the story, the father-daughter relationship and bond between Joel and Ellie, was over. Bella Ramsey, who plays Ellie, recently spoke on The Awardist podcast about the incessant hate the show has since received, leading many to wonder how it will recover next season.
As reported by Deadline, Ramsey said, “There’s nothing I can do about it anyway. The show is out. There’s nothing that can be changed or altered. So, I’m like, there’s not really any point in reading or looking at anything.”
Ramsey continued, explaining that everyone is entitled to their own opinions, stating that, in regard to the upcoming third season, if haters hate the show so much, “You don’t have to watch it. If you hate it that much, the game exists. You can just play the game again.”
It has been confirmed that The Last of Us season 3 will be focusing on Abby’s story, most likely leading up to where season 2 left off. While we cannot deny that Joel’s death wasn’t brutal and devastating, the effects of which will live on as strongly as Glenn’s demise in
How did she become involved with The Wolves? What was her relationship like with her father?
How did she finally learn of Joel’s location? If we look at The Last of Us as a whole, each season follows a different character’s story, beginning with Joel, continuing through Ellie, and perhaps ending with Abby.

Heather Gay spoke of Meredith Marks‘ alleged plane meltdown while appearing on Tuesday night’s episode of Watch What Happens Live.
“The truth is, like, we were 9-10ths of that first class cabin, and it was all housewives and production, and it was kind of a celebrity no touch zone. They were used to our crazy behavior. We came in loud, and I don’t think it was air marshal zip-tied behavior, but I also think that celebrity played a part in it,” Heather explained on the November 11 episode of
She then said that when it came to Lisa’s alleged leaks, she had “absolute receipts, proof, timeline, screenshots,” before noting that the discussions about them weren’t important.
“What’s important is that we evolve and move on and no longer try to build ourselves up by taking each other down … we’ll see [if we got there] after the reunion,” she noted.
Looking back at Jason’s claim that the two of them didn’t actually hook up, Heather asked, “Nothing happened?”
“If that’s how he defines ‘nothing,’ that’s fine,” she suggested before adding that “nothing” happened.
“I love him, and we had so much fun in Australia, and it’s like, a weird kinship when you’re in a different — I mean, it’s his country. It’s a different country for me. And we’re doing press, and we’re hanging out every day. It’s his land and he was my guide in many ways,” she explained.
As for Mary’s sit-down with Meredith, 53, about her behavior toward Britani, during which Mary, 53, suggested Meredith apologize, at least for her own sake, Heather applauded Mary for cutting through Meredith’s “BS pretty quickly.”
“Meredith came in so sing-songy. And Mary was just like, ’15 minutes? 30 minutes?’ It was more than that. And I just loved watching the interaction of those two friends try to, like, break down what really happened on that plane,” Heather admitted.
Following her dispute with Lisa, 50, who reportedly shamed her for defending Britani against Meredith, Heather said she “thought it was ridiculous” that Lisa wasn’t listening to what Britani had to say about her role in the drama.
“I was trying to say, ‘Listen, Britani told me this. I witnessed this. And you are in denial,’” she explained.
Then, after denying that Lisa lived a very different life than other members of the
“My take on it all is like, what is your relationship with Todd? Is it open marriage and, ‘I picked a girl for you to make out with and I did this,’ or is it, ‘I love him, he’s my person, I’m monogamous?’” she wondered. “I don’t really understand. It feels like it flip-flops a lot … I mean, the truth is, I’m not that deeply invested in her relationship with Todd. I’m invested in the stories she tells us about him and if they’re true or not.”
Moving on to her three-part special, Surviving Mormonism, Heather admitted she didn’t know how her family felt about her sharing her experiences with the controversial religion.
“They won’t tell me. I have no contact. I have one brother that lives in Zurich, and he’ll be super supportive. He’s left the church after I did on the show,” she shared. “[But] I felt honored to hear their stories … It did feel like it was cathartic and therapeutic for me. It almost felt selfish that I was like, going through the process with them.”
Later, while appearing on the WWHL: After Show, Heather was asked how Lisa’s alleged leaks are different than those of Monica Garcia, 42, who was exposed for having ties to the
“Monica didn’t have tea to leak because Monica wasn’t our friend. Monica had built a blog to tear us down with no actual facts … so it’s completely different,” she explained.
Heather then added that while she and her castmates “love and have tremendous respect for Lisa,” they “also know that she leaks stories to the media.”
