Peacock's dark comedy sitcom Laid continues to strike the right chord at the heart of the audience with its mix of funny lines, dramatized incidents, and supernatural incidents. At the end of Episode 7, it left an awesome cliffhanger that will keep the audience on the edge with speculation about future developments concerning Ruby (Stephanie Hsu) and Isaac (Tommy Martinez).
The evolving relationship between the two central characters, with Ruby's curse that dooms her former lovers, has been part and parcel of this series. Recently, Tommy Martinez opened up on that particular on-screen magic he and his co-star have, along with what this cliffhanger suggestion means for Ruby and Isaac. It appears that, as the series goes on, stakes have never been so high, with quite a promise of turns and emotion-involving depth.
The Evolution of Ruby and Isaac's Relationship
The initial meeting between Ruby and Isaac initiated a relationship that transcended work and personal chemistry. A party for his parents' anniversary is what prompted Isaac to hire Ruby, but he soon discovered that he couldn't resist her passion for musicals and dwelled even more with her.
Ruby also uncovers a curse that has been causing deaths among all her former lovers, which piles a new hurdle in their developing romance. Ruby is trying to keep Isaac out of the deathly grip of the curse, so now she faces a few moral and emotional dilemmas about her relationship. This still increases from Episode 7, and we end up on another cliffhanger where we are asking for the fate of both characters.
Tommy Martinez's Insights on the Cliffhanger
In a recent interview, Tommy Martinez talked about the struggles between Isaac and Ruby. He pointed out the actual tie between the two characters, the fact that they hang from mutual respect and common areas. Martinez reflected on the importance of the cliffhanger, which he sees to be the turn of events that will challenge the strength of their relationship and the individual character progression.
This also dives into some of the more extensive themes of the show, love under weird conditions, which Martinez noted, where supernatural conditions were used to metaphor there into actual lives that couples suffer and can relate directly with people.
Fans must have had their nails bitten down to the nubbins with the cliffhanger around Episode 7 of "Laid." They'd have been gagging for the next installment of Ruby and Isaac's storyline. Tommy Martinez adds a further dimension to the story with his character Isaac and brings a deep sense of understanding to the many convolutions of love in the face of supernatural clashes.
The series further promises to hold darkly interesting opportunities regarding what they might find along their journey, including possibly surprising twists and serious character development.
