I'll post something then. I recall quite a few posters stating that Adalind was not a villainess, but instead Renard's pawn and abused by Catherine. That doesn't sound like many thinking Claire showed great acting skills. Instead it seems they're trying to excuse her performance by calling her something entirely different that the character she portrayed.

When you claim it was “easy to see her march right back to evil without missing a beat”, you ignore that Adalind NEVER had the sly smile on her face that used to be her villainess trademark. How was Adalind’s change suppose to “come from within” anyway? Given the time she had on screen between wesen of the week plots, what did you expect? She talked a lot about wanting to change and even gave the reasons. You wanted more flashbacks of her four plots against Nick, combined with crying? That would be a complete waste of time.
Hey, I get it. You consider Coffee a great actress. But I (and please be aware that unlike you, I am not speaking for others) do not. I think she made a great villain, but I also consider that this is Grimm and the actors involved in this are not A list. If anything, most of them are just okay. Coffee just didn't handle the transition from villain to good girl well in my opinion. She did everything you said, talked about wanting to change, cried, took her shirt off and told Nick she loved him, etc., etc., etc. But in my opinion (again just me here), I found her unconvincing.
Beside that, I gave her some leeway. It could have been the script, which was in some cases crappy, or it could have been that Coffee just wanted to dote more on her son than work on her acting chops. After all, by the time she gets the passage into good characterdom, the series is already showing poor ratings and is on the downslide.

You mentioned earlier in this tread that you watched Gotham. There you had Barbara Kean giving birth to James Gordons kid after a one-night stand at the precinct, before suddenly deciding she could not be evil anymore.
I only watched one season of it. I did say above that it did not make an impact on me.
Next year will be the 10 years anniversary of the Pilot-episode. And here you are, complaining about unconvincing acting and sometimes crappy script. It seems like Grimm made quite an impact on you. My guess it that you liked the show much more than you are willing to admit...
Anyway, thanks for the reply.
