Even before watching The Funeral episode I was sure three things would happen:
the Roman Empire would collapse during the eulogy;
he would try to harm himself voluntarily (I remember being confused about some of the open arms' scene theories. Someone theorized that he was defending Kendall from the police?? Someone else kept wondering in which episode the riot would take place… I was like. 🤌🏻Moots.🤌🏻He's wearing a tie. His face is asking to be smashed!! It's the Funeral episodeeee!!);
given the situation, Gerri would have extended a truce.
I didn't expect for it to hit that hard but there I was, heartbroken yet satisfied at the end of the episode. Just one thing was out of place: Gerri not reaching out after Roman's miserable self. She was right behind him, I thought: SHE IS GOD'S STRONGEST SOLDIER BECAUSE I COULD NEVER?
The next day, someone on twitter had to shyly break the news to me and I. was. a. mess!!!!!! I still am: I think cutting that scene is the only discordant note in a magnificent work.
I was sure she would reach out.
That was her own pain in the ass, pet-protegé, intimate unintentional shared mess, someone whose weaknesses she saw and understood to the point of tenderness.
And SOMEONE IN THE WRITERS ROOM WROTE ON A PINK POST IT: GERRI COMFORTS ROMAN AT THE FUNERAL AND SOMEONE ELSE IN THE EDIT ROOM THOUGHT YOU KNOW WHAT, THIS IS NOT IMPORTANT ??
But what about Gerri's importance as a character? What about basic humaneness, understanding? This choice didn't do her justice, not in the way audience have known her for years. I agree with granpa Brian Cox, for once.
Thank God for Ao3's writers, I guess? Because I've read pieces so good that they make up for shortcomings like these.
In the end, Jesse let to our imaginations and how significant is that Roman’s final scene on the show is smiling while drinking a martini. Romangerri nation, giving the world of succession, I guess we can call that winning.

There were three more:
Coyote Nelson
Fishing is life.
In the files, Coyote Nelson is the name of the fisherman you meet at fishing spots.
Morris
A bright kid of Blackfoot heritage and the go-to person for all things computers and arcade machines. He keeps it on the down low.
The character’s full name apparently is Morris Aubrey. He’s the person who’s always near Far Cry Arcade machines and telling you how “awesome” the game is.
Scooter
A supply runner for the Whitetail Militia.
All I know about Scooter is that, according to a deleted mission objective, this character (who was also cut) was supposed to be escorted to the Wolf’s Den at some point.
gives an answer to one of series 4's burning questions: Underline or strikethrough? Was Kendall Kenough for leadership?
youtube
I've seen some people upset that Armstrong answered the question and would have rather he left it ambiguous but I love knowing the answer. Give me all the deets!
If this is the stuff that made it to script, but not actually shot,
give me more things that were spitballed but didn't even make it to the page. Give me more cast headcanon. Like Kieran Culkin saying he believes Roman has an eating disorder;
of Arian Moayed who played Stewy "Never Skerred" Hosseini who has a fair share of them.
Now, what did Frank do??
I love how Stewy embrace telling the Roys that they were shite and I love that Arian embraces fandom.
But why are you telling our business??!
But it all comes down to the writing and the writers, so it was fitting that SUCCESION stars Alan Ruck, Justine Lupe, Brian Cox, David Rasche, Peter Friedman, Scott Nicholson, J . Cameron Smith have been on the picket line.
In my experience, Esther Armstrong was always valiantly independent, determined, fiercely loyal and if anything, could exude a hint of Joan of Arc when times were a fair bit desperate. She had a glowing grin that radiated in any room she was in; anyone who was anyone always seemed to mention that about her. She was always kind when I was with her one-on-one, withholding a realm of wisdom and knowledge on such situations that many people did not have time to ponder about. She found the little things among whatever rumblings the papers discussed, and she used that to her strengths and would headline papers for weeks there after. Because that was Esther; she told you the story as if it were your own son or daughter on the other side of the world. She wanted you to be able to feel what someone you loved was going through, in a way where you were not only comforted, but equally being put at a humbled peace for the time being. Just like herself; humbled in her own respects, bringing upon comfort and content, and her warm, glowing grin.
