- A French forum user explains why Kitty's Character Development is so great and resonates with viewers.Translated from French
There is a lot to say about Kitty Sherer, this haughty, arrogant, contemptuous, egocentric girl... However, I find that she is an interesting character to analyze as the story unfolds. Boring and off-putting at the very beginning of the episodes, we end up discovering little by little other aspects of her personality which deserve our attention. Even if her primary motivation remains selfish when she embraces a career as a journalist, we nevertheless notice that she devotes herself to it wholeheartedly. For a girl from a bourgeois background who is used to comfort and security, she shows great perseverance; she's a fighter. What I find interesting through the episodes that follow one another is to subtly discover what is in her heart, because there is a real evolution in her personality. Beneath a feigned indifference, she reveals some noble feelings. For example, Kitty agrees to pay for a taxi, gives Sandy a puppy and shows sincere love for Marc. She even goes so far as to undertake work in the cabin he occupies. And when she finally understands that he has no feelings of love for her, Kitty is truly heartbroken. She is therefore capable of loving! To truly love! The intervention of Alex who will shortly after open his eyes is very realistic, it is in fact this part which seduced me the most. I like characters with strong personalities. Sometimes I even find them more realistic than all these idealized heroines with few flaws. Which doesn't mean that I approve of their behavior, I just like the realism that emerges from her personality. - The way Mrs. Edwards regains her memory. Sandybell pulls a Heroic Sacrifice by going after a child that fell in the water, and she suddenly remembers how years ago, her own boat capsized and took the life of her husband. If it wasn't for Sandybell's drive for heroism, she never would have remembered it. Thus, she embraces Sandybell in her arms, alongside Edward.
- The scene were Linda and Sandybell pay respects to Leslie's grave, with Linda thanking him for taking care of her baby after that one fateful night. Doubles over with Tearjerker.
- The father of the Wellington nobles loses his wealth due to his poor financial skills....and the son regains it, due to his art winning contests all over Europe. Since Kitty also gifts him some land, it's safe to say that Mark has successfully brought prestige back to his family name.
- Even more, in the end Sandybell and Mark are an item, which means technically, Sandybell is nobility too, as are their potential future children.
