Here's the thing about Miss Rose...she changes Gilbert's character from the books too much for me. He was a confident young man through all the books except with Anne. She is the only one who rejected his attentions and confused him. If Miss Rose was Gilbert's age and not so bossy, I'd appreciate the storyline more. I mean, obviously, ultimately I want Shirbert, but him going walking with another girl or two is part of that storyline. I just don't like that he's so nervous and awkward nor that her character is so bossy with him.(This is not against the actress at all. She is doing the lines they gave her.)
