Lydia

<< < (6/7) > >>

Is it cold in here?:
Why do you suppose he told Lydia in the first place? Guilty conscience? Why Lydia in particular? Because she was nearby, or because sometimes it's easier to talk about things to someone who's not part of your regular circle?

One of the old-school advice columnists used to tell unfaithful spouses with the urge to tell their partners to just shut up. "Confession is good for the soul and bad for the marriage", she said.

Faye was dating Sven, not Lydia. It was Sven's responsibility to treat Faye decently. If he didn't, it wasn't Lydia's job to correct it.

Carl-E:
Interesting - certainly it wasn't Lydia's place to tell Sven what to do, but he did tell her, and while he didn't directly ask her opinion, it's hard not to assume that he wanted to know what she thought. 


Then again, he may just have been trying to warn her that shit was going to fly in both the vicinity and near future. 


Naah, he's not the type. 

Skewbrow:
I rather liked Lydia. Wouldn't mind it at all, if she makes a comeback.

The way I read it  Sven had developed a feeling of guilt well before (an hour or two - at least) he spilled the news to Lydia. Also, she knew about Sven going to Gina's concert, so it was natural that she would ask about it right away. I don't think she would have actually told Faye - the threat to do so was simply a natural reaction in that situation. That threat was just so much in her outspoken character and very much in line with her previous interactions with Sven.

... but are you two veterans really telling me that this was not analyzed to death in this very forum at the time?

Carl-E:
As a veteran, I feel obliged to point out that age has severely affected my normally poor memory.

(to be honest, it may well have been before I joined... and even had it not been, the forums were a very different place back before the apocalypse)

pwhodges:
Lydia's never had her own thread before, but if you use the forum search*, you'll find quite a lot of posts mentioning her, starting on 12 Sept 2008, when she first appeared.  If you search for Lydia and Gina, there are some comments on that business, too.

* Hint:
Use the menu button above, select advanced search, then you can limit the search to just the COMIC forum, and arrange the found posts in, say, date order.
