How Dorit Could Have Handled Kyle: or The Best Defense is Always Offense
It would have been so epic if Dorit had flipped the script with Kyle when she first started with the b.s.
Here's how I would have liked to see it handled.
The first person she should have gone to was Kathy. That alone is rage bait to Kyle. She could have said to Kathy, do you think Kyle is really doing okay? I know she says she is, but with all the changes, moving out of her home, the end of her marriage in sight, and then everything with Morgan, ... I'm really concerned with how obsessed and focused she is on me. It's not normal. I worry about how she is emotionally but with where we're at, i dont know how to approach her.
.... start it sincerely and caring and true.
Then with Erica, mention how Kyle's behavior reminds her of P.K Ask Erica if she thinks Kyle might be drinking again. That's a twofer there.
With Sutton she'd have to go after it a bit different; Sutton is so far up Kyle's ass I'm shocked she can breathe unassisted. But with Sutton she could reference how difficult separation can be and ask if she thinks that maybe Kyle is having a hard time dealing with reality right now. Leave it there. That speculation has legs. Then Dorit could do her rambling thing and say something like, I don't think she's in the middle of having a mental breakdown. It's only she reminds me of an old friend who started acting that way and it was only after a long time in care that she came back to herself.
Now Amanda would be the wild card. Amanda I'd apologize to and then start dropping lore about how Kyle likes to befriend castmates and then use them as human shields. See where that goes.
When Kyle comes at her enraged and crying she could have grey rocked her. Staying calm in a way Kyle has demonstrated she can't. Insisting she's concerned for Kyle but really everyone said that Kyle's actions aren't normal and she's just telling Kyle what everyone else is too afraid to say.
Now that would be entertaining to watch. It has the benefit of being true issues, with enough damaging speculation to be dangerous.
I say match energy, but do it better and go scortched earth.
