The defensive responses to Adam when he pointed out she isn’t Lucas girlfriend and should be able to talk to other guys was so awkward to watch and then panic in Gems body language when she hears Luca coming back so much so she quickly stands up and and starts walking away from him wtf
that’s why I don’t understand how people can gush over Gemma and call her mature. She’s not mature, she’s an inexperienced young woman trying to hard to seem older than she is. It’s sad to watch.
a mature woman would not put up with Lucas crap. Ultimately, Gemma puts up with it. She confronts him sometimes, but she tolerates the behaviour and is starting to let him dictate how she acts - e.g. not hugging Billie and scampering away from Adam.
she clearly fancies Adam but chose to project her frustration onto Ekin. A grown, level headed woman has more self awareness than to do that.
she’s petty and childishly bitchy at times, running to snitch to Luca for example.
she seems to jump from one
crappy boyfriend (jaques) to the next (Luca). She’s over ten years younger than me and has had more boyfriends than I’ve had in my life, and probably isn’t better off for it.
but worst of all - she’s playing it safe with Luca instead of enjoying the fact she’s on an amazing once in a lifetime opportunity. She should be having lots of dates, hanging out with people and making friends. Instead she’s attached at the hip to Luca and has to be careful of her behaviour. She doesn’t even seem to fancy Luca that much, he’s just a safe bet. A mature, self assured woman has the confidence to take risks, and doesn’t need to have a boyfriend or man on the go to feel validated.
