As she uses her lawyers and spies to bite the hand that made her, Today's viewers will be reminded of sorry sordid scenes in which she would tell her own daughter-in-law that she'd have the latter's heart ripped out if she interfered with Chuck's love life, after crushing her own sister's romantic yearnings. Like her fictional counterpart Gladys, Liz poisoned, besmirched and ruined the lives of all the friends,relatives and serfs within range of her Evil Clutches.
