So, I was scrolling through Netflix the other day, and I stumbled upon this show called “Julie and the Phantoms.” I’d heard some buzz about it, so I figured, why not give it a shot? And let me tell you, I got hooked from the first episode. Now, there’s this character, Carrie, who really caught my attention. She’s like, the classic “mean girl” at first, but there’s definitely more to her than meets the eye.
I started digging around a bit, trying to learn more about her. Turns out, Carrie is played by this actress, whose name I think is Savannah, yeah, Savannah Lee May. She’s the daughter of Trevor Wilson, who used to be in this band, Sunset Curve. Anyway, Carrie’s got her own girl group, Dirty Candy, and they’re pretty popular at school. She’s like, the queen bee, you know?
But here’s the interesting part: Carrie used to be friends with Julie, the main character. Apparently, they had a falling out, and now Carrie’s kind of like, Julie’s rival. I watched the way she is in the show that seems like a big part of it has to do with Julie’s mom passing away and Carrie not really being there for her. It’s like, Carrie didn’t know how to deal with that heavy stuff, so she just kind of pulled away.
- I read somewhere that when Carrie was at her lowest, Julie started hanging out with Flynn, and that added fuel to the fire.
- Also, I think Carrie’s dad being a famous musician, and her trying to live up to that, probably puts a lot of pressure on her.
- It’s like she’s always trying to prove herself, and that’s why she’s so competitive.
So, I kept watching, and I started to see these little glimpses of vulnerability in Carrie. She seems a bit lonely, and sometimes, she’s low-key jealous of Julie’s talent and her new band with the ghost guys. I even read some comments online saying that Carrie might be dealing with some grief of her own, and that’s why she’s so focused on rehearsing and performing all the time. It’s like, she’s trying to fill this void in her life or something.
My Takeaway
Honestly, I’m kind of rooting for Carrie. I think there’s a good person in there somewhere, she’s just got some walls up. I’m hoping that as the show goes on, we’ll see her soften up a bit and maybe even become friends with Julie again. It would be nice to see her find some real happiness, you know? Anyway, I just wanted to share my thoughts on this character. She’s way more complex than I initially thought, and I’m excited to see where her story goes.
