15 Dec
Summary
- Actress Taylour Paige unhappy with her character's finale decision.
- Paige wanted more for Charlotte, not a return to 1962 roles.
- She relates to Charlotte's empathy as a new mother.
Actress Taylour Paige voiced her disappointment with the finale of IT: Welcome to Derry, specifically regarding her character Charlotte Hanlon's choice to remain in the town rather than escape with her family. Paige felt the decision did not align with her vision for Charlotte, wishing for a more empowered trajectory than a return to traditional 1962 homemaker duties.
Paige elaborated that while she understood the historical context of women in the 1960s, she personally desired a different path for Charlotte. The actress found a deeper connection to the character's maternal empathy after her own experience with motherhood, noting how it enhanced her portrayal of Charlotte's protective nature and inner resolve.
Reflecting on the series, Paige also discussed the show's exploration of human cruelty, particularly racism, and how it parallels the supernatural horror. She found the historical depiction of violence, such as the burning of Black individuals, particularly harrowing and too real, resonating deeply with her as a woman of color.
