“She’s very alert and paying attention, and I think that that's a resting state with her.'
of television roles are written for women in their twenties and thirties. Each actress, in her own way, brings to life a convincing portrait of an intelligent, shrewd, imperfect and, at times, unlikeable yet extremely recognizable woman. Marcia Roy , Nan Pierce , and Rhea Jarrell have all sparred with Logan, and even each other, emerging with compelling victories .
Last week's episode, “Dundee,” saw the Roy family patriarch begin to spiral more spectacularly than any of his children. As Logan becomes increasingly preoccupied by reckoning with his own mortality and fallibility, the task of navigating the company through the volatility of the cruises scandal and his successor falls—as nearly all of Waystar's crises do—to Gerri.
Sarah Snook, Hiam Abbass and J. Smith-Cameron at Time Warner Center on April 17, 2019 in New York City.Back in season one, Gerri refused to be named even interim CEO of the company: “I don’t want the job that makes your head explode,” she said in the aftermath of the stroke that had incapacitated Logan. It’s a sharp contrast to this season, during which she entertains Roman’s proposal of a CEO/chairman partnership to helm the company together.
Throughout last week’s episode, we see Gerri confer with Shiv —not eldest scion Kendall or her current co-schemer Roman—over the extent to which the Roys’ father should be included in the company’s increasingly precarious standing when a scandal from the company's cruises business threatens to go public.
Though the opportunistic Rhea thinks she gets what she wants, it's Gerri’s vigilance and judgement call to involve Shiv instead of the Roy men that gets her there. “She's constantly connecting the dots as an attorney. She’s very alert and paying attention, and I think that that's a resting state with her,” Smith-Cameron says of Gerri's always-on characterization.
