Okay, had to reply in ask box because they won't let me finish my thoughts in the comments.
At first I cackled, because I couldn't tell whether it was Paget truly posting it as "fingerless" because I get the finger because of the way she posts, but I know they're queerbaiting. I believe Paget took the original "Emily was gay" plot idea and decided to just do it in her own way (because I guarantee those longing looks at JJ are not in the script).
Is she queerbaiting? Well, because I KNOW that we're not going to get Jemily (seriously, I'm still shocked that they made Tara bisexual) and they are NOT going to give us another queer character. (although Emily realising she's a lesbian at her age would be such a unique story).
I DO think the powers that be probably told them (at least probably told Paget, I don't know if AJ is doing anything because I don't follow her), to play up the Jemily thing because they know that the fanbase is there. Yes it's queerbaiting, but I accept it from Paget because I don't think it's malicious. The Rizzoli and Isles queerbaiting was to me a nastier sort, but there as also sorts of drama there with WB and Angie.
In short (yes, I'm sorry this was so long), I don't mind Paget doing it, because I think that's truly how she plays Emily anyway, and I don't think she's nasty about it.
ABSOLUTELY ON POINT (as always my pal). I agree I think Paget is probably doing it more as a joke, but there are so many younger/newer fans who really don't seem to know the difference in reality and blatant queerbaiting.
I TOTALLY agree, it was amazing we got queer Tara, there's no way in hell we're getting a second queer within two seasons, and DEF not Emily after they spent the last few seasons of the original run trying to convince everyone she was Str8.
Would it be amazing to have a middle-aged woman figuring herself out on a mainstream TV show -- YES! It would be groundbreaking, but I know that CM isn't' the show to do it.
(Godddddddddddddd don't get me started on Rizzoli and Isles, what a fuckign TIME)
