Where is Marilyn?

Why do the writers constantly give so little attention to Marilyn? It would've been so fun to see her as a loud flamboyant over-the-top character. Ridiculous that she was left out.

That aside, very fun concept and I enjoyed all the new identities aside from Chris, who seemed like basically the same guy. Dr. Ruth Anne and her look were amazing. Maggie as the frumpy nanny and Shelley as the high-powered lawyer who makes more than the hubby were great! And of course Maurice as a more humble, vulnerable guy. I appreciated that the characters were so different from normal but still themselves in some ways.

Cool theme of vision and finding yourself :)
