I felt Andrea clearly was playing up the part of being airhead. She was mindful in Edwin's lap at the club, but next time we see her employ her usual tactic to get what she wants from Dalia (Edwin and Ian are merely causalities of being in the same room, from what we know for now)Hi! Wah, there is so much stuff to discuss, but as I mentioned, work hits hard currently, so just a bit of what I wanted to talk about. More during the coming weeks.
I am absolutely sure it makes a difference. We saw Nicolette´s arrival and it clearly implied "special interest" to the club is meant as punishment and reminder. Andrea on the other hand is more dabbling in prostitution, more a hobby prostitute going by how she describes some things, her main work is elsewhere.
And she clearly is shielded to a certain point by her being just "on loan". For instance, Andrea is certainly off-limits to Warren, since her being unable to work after being roughed up during sex is a no go complication.
I like Andrea, our sexy ray of sunshine, but I agree with you that she comes across as too airheaded. I sincerely hope it turns out that it is a) at least partly an act to appear more harmless or b) just the lack of a proper education (which can be rectified) than lacking smarts. Why? Because in my opinion Andrea is a chance to again show how the Club can corrupt (at least in part) anyone it touches!
Just a mind image: In the epilog (playing quite a time after the events of PC) our MC is on a party and he sees Mina and Andrea standing together and talk. and it hits him as much as us, the contrast. On one side we have Mina, the (at least) TV star, part time model, bubbly person, on the drive by lane of life.
And on the other side we have Andrea, the porn star (with maybe some mainstream work as well), nude model and hobby hooker. Also a bubbly personality and on the drive by lane of life, but by "seedier" means. With the divide being Andrea was in part shaped by the Club, whereas Mina wasn´t.
Who´s to say that Andrea might not be a very capable mainstream actress if she gets a chance? It happens, e.g. former pornstar Gina Wild is a rather recognised theater actress today. Andrea´s path was changed by working with the Club, Donovan and Co. Such a scene could be a reminder what the Club does to people and why it has to change it´s stance if the club stays open.
Later she sees a chance to use Edwin as leg up overall in the club. She has an vague gameplan with room for picking up on opportunities spotted.
I as well saw a lot of Mina in her, perhaps they are merely on different paths and Andrea has the more experience in manipulation for taking the seedier path.
Overall I'm very happy we got to see more of her, since she was so cute first time around. Was a bit of mystery first time around, we learn a lot and hope we get to see her again despite the mystery uncovered. It would be super cool if she doesn't quit going for Edwin (as long as you flirted enough for nose callback) , just adjusting the angle of approach/attack.
Copium wishing here, but she trying for a main girl role towards faithful Hana GF path as well, would be cool, selling herself as in the devil you know. Casual airhead in for the fun openly.
Other girls from the club getting more airtime as well was nice. ^^
I'm starting to suspect that Grace is just spiteful enough that she will use the parts of info she do know, to hurt Vic. When blackmailing threath seems like it fails. Put forward that Edwin is also being corrupted as well, pulled into the scene. Grace knows Ian does porn pics, not normal photograpy, (she scuffs hard about that angle of living). She also knows Chuck is involved at least vaguely in it, after all he knows about Vic's past.I don't think Grace told Victoria anything about it. Not only there isn't any reason for Grace to tell Victoria things like that, if Victoria knew her son is helping a prostitution ring to pimp out girls at the brothel *and* have them participate in sick sex games (that he is a willing accessory to himself) she definitely would be less inclined to tell Edwin she has raised him right, if she could even stand his presence, immediately after such reveal.
For this matter, i'm not sure if this is really something Grace knows in the first place -- she might think that Chuck tells her "everything everything" but really, it's not like she'd knew if he withheld some shit from her. For example, i wonder if that "everything everything" included Chuck's leisure activities of ruining lives just for fun.
