why they had to make Rosita be in a weird situation that feels outta nowhere?

rewatching the show and man her randomly being with Gabriel outta nowhere is weird and then the writers had to have her get knocked up by the doctor and then Eugene who is in love with her is also taking care of the baby. was it to give her character something to do? da fuk

So the baby storyline with her in the comics is similar. Siddiq is her baby daddy. Rosita dies though in the comics and never has the baby. She is actually a pike victim.

Eugene loves her, but comes to love her more as a best friend and obviously wants to help care for her baby.

Rosita and Gabriel had some meaningful interactions in Season 7 & 8 that get overlooked. But I always saw those scenes as between friends or a priest relationship. It was a strange pairing for sure. Lowkey, Gabriel had great chemistry with Jadis/Anne.

This whole plot point felt so out of place for me. I'm not saying you need everything to be grim all the time, but it was presented in a really weird, sitcomy way, especially after the Saviours arc. I'm all for healing for Rosita, but was it really that?

Rosita has Eugene and Gabriel taking care of the baby, and her husband? Can't tell her shit

Honestly, it gets a lot of flack, but I liked it! I think her being with Gabriel showed us that a LOT of time had passed, so we were not seeing the same people that we knew from before the time jump.

The four of them raising the baby was just… good community? I truly loved seeing how all of these people came together to ensure that that baby was well taken care of and loved. We saw similar happen with Judith.

Idk but I thought it was lowkey hilarious. Sis has a whole harem of men in a short span of time, and not in a Negan way.

At least it gave her something to do as you put it bc they were allergic to giving her a storyline of substance for like 4 seasons. It saved her character for me (and it was nice to see her have a happier-ish closing out after she kept taking L after L for no reason being a side character </3).

I just wish she got more scenes with Rick bc it feels like they (and really that whole B team with Abe and Eugene) never interact.

I enjoyed the whole 3 Men and Rosita and a Baby! It's such a great, loving collaboration in the midst of apocalypse. It was only then that I began to accept Gabriel's redemption. He was soooo godawful his first 2 seasons that I kept hating him for a long time.

I actually thought it was a refreshing change. Like ya, they are battling with the undead but in the end, they are all still humans with emotions.

And c’mon, Rosita is so worth the drama.

Yeah that storyline was really weird. It went about as well as it could have gone though, considering how weird it was.
