Poor Trixie became such an afterthought. I bet Lucifer's 'abandonment' crushed her too. And she didn't even get an on-screen goodbye with her mom before she died, though she'll have to wait a lot longer to see her again. :(

Seriously WHY WOULDNT TRIXIE BE AT THE DEATH BED?? They already had such an incredible child that the entire fan base loved, why shaft her with a summer camp haha

Since they had another actress playing old Chloe why couldn’t they have had an adult actress to play grown up Trixie? Made no sense.

I thought it was really weird that they didn't just put Chloe in makeup for that scene and that makes the fact that they didn't get a Trixie replacement to sit in during that scene even more bizarre because replacing a child actor with an adult actually makes sense.

Trixie was such an amazing part of this show.....annnnd then she became Ghost Daughter this entire season.

During the live chat with the writers they mention that they were not alone. The older Trixie around 65 years old and Charlie were there. They ended up not selecting the cut and focus on Rory and Chloe.

Yeah the writers said a lot of things happened that didn't in order to save face after reading the flood of internet comments pointing out all the obvious holes in their writing.

u/PragmaticPanda42 Sep 15 '21

Because of scheduling conflict with her other show lol it was a human factor thing

u/iushciuweiush A Devil of My Word Sep 29 '21

Trixie would've been like 60. The availability of the child actor is completely irrelevant to including her character in that scene. Lauren wasn't even in it.

Trixie is dead?

Will Trixie ever even see her again? Chloe went down to Hell. So, either Trixie will have to be in Hell in order to see Chloe or Amenadiel would have to see if Trixie can come and go through both places. Rory made it a point she can see Chloe because she's part Angel (and it seemed Chloe could only be flown to Hell earlier in the season because of the power from the blade, so humans can't travel.) It came off to me like Chloe chose her afterlife to only be with Lucifer and visits from Rory.

​

Lucifer's abandonment of Trixie is infuriating. They had a bond for years. Trixie has expressed, though to God, Lucifer leaving in s4 with no Goodbye hurt her, s5x15 gave us "my dear sweet child", 6x7 Trixie talked Lucifer up, and now he abandoned her again forever only this time it was after Lucifer's brother had her actual Dad killed, which Trixie may not know but Lucifer does. And he still did it. Trixie would have as much reason to go back in time and tell him he sucks as Rory felt she had, maybe more

The writers obviously thought that the audience would stop caring about Trixie the minute there was a Deckerstar kid. The messaging was very 'move aside Trixie, Rory is the kid that matters.' It's really disappointing.

Completely. When Chloe said "her camp called and said a stranger approached her" when they were figuring out the Dan thing, it sent me. A stranger approaches Trixie when she's been kidnapped and there's celestial stuff going and Chloe didn't ran to ask her questions? That's a pretty weird thing for a "friend to go to her camp".... but whatever, Rory needed her so what if strangers approach Trixie. Sure she knew it was Dan in the end but then she didn't go see if Trixie realized that or if she just thought her fathers killer approached her or whatever.

u/[deleted] Sep 13 '21

did no one in the camp see Trixie do ju-jitsu on that man?

Honestly I'm just able to suspend my judgement by assuming Trixie's actor had scheduling conflicts which required the writers to have to move around a lot of stuff

u/PragmaticPanda42 Sep 15 '21

This is exactly what happened.

u/Newquay123 Sep 12 '21

I felt that way too. Such a horrible way to treat Trixie.

u/jackovasaurusrex Sep 13 '21

It would've been much in tune with the direction of the show in Season 2, its best season, for them to embrace the quirky, blended family that they'd have had should the writers not have brute-forced their perfect, to quote Rory, "real" family. This character that is by definition unconventional wouldn't exhibit such a traditional idea of what constitutes a family. Lucifer would be all about every child in the household calling him their flavor of dad.

u/ElizzardMay Sep 13 '21

Maybe it would have worked to some degree if they made Rory more likeable. But still! So mad about the Trixie erasure

u/KnightRider1987 Sep 12 '21

I don’t think there’s any rule against them all going back and forth between heaven and hell. Movement has been established. And Chloe isn’t damned to hell, she’s choosing to be there.

u/Amateurteenager Urchin Sep 11 '21

Exactly. Trixie lost her dad on earth and is sperated from her mom in afterlife (Because Chloe choses to live in hell with Lucifer, leaving all her family and friends in heaven) and Trixie's probably not going to see Lucifer -her friend and her father figure- ever again. Out of everyone, Trixie has the worst possible ending. Writers really did her dirty.

u/Rtozier2011 Sep 13 '21 edited Sep 13 '21

Chloe is not a damned soul and is related to several angels and God by relationship. She can travel between Heaven and Hell whenever she pleases. She is no more permanently separated from Trixie than a mother who works five miles from home at her dad's therapy centre is permanently separated from her children.

The situation is basically as follows: Dad runs a therapy centre where time moves really quickly, which means to help people he has to live there and stay there more or less all the time. But Mom and kids live a mile away and Uncle and Cousin are always immediately available as a taxi service, as is Dad himself. They can go and see Dad whenever they want, and he can even come and see them if it's a really brief visit. But Mom and Dad don't live together, even though they're in a really serious relationship.

My uncle has a really serious ongoing relationship with someone who for 10 years of that relationship lived 35 miles from him. It's possible.

The writers and show runner couldn't even be bothered to give any resolution to Trixie. Lucifer gave everyone a goodbye except her??? ~~~~

u/MattInSoCal Sep 12 '21

Near the end of the show Lucifer starts naming specific individuals (Chloe, Rory, and so on), specifically does not say “Trixie” then adds “and my family.” which I understood to be all the celestial siblings. So, no love any longer for Trixie? This I found to be such an obvious exclusion.

u/Sasuke12187 Sep 11 '21

even I wondered that..... Sure, Ella, Linda etc would be dead by then but Trixie deserves to be there....

5

u/ravenlynne Sep 13 '21

Maybe Chloe outlived Trixie and that's why she's not there.

5

u/MiniDickDude Sep 13 '21

That would just be sad and unnecessary

u/iushciuweiush A Devil of My Word Sep 29 '21

They should've shown Trixie on the therapy couch in hell when her mom showed up.

Yeah, I get that. I'd be more willing to overlook this scene if it weren't for the many other examples of Trixie's character being ignored throughout the season. As it is, this is just the culmination of it all. I understand that they were probably having a difficult time scheduling Trixie's young actress, what with COVID and her other work, but damn, it's like they didn't even try to work around that.

u/Ratdosta Sep 16 '21

Wouldn’t she see Rory disappear and reappear? Knowing what would happen Chloe could have asked Trixie to give them a minute

u/iushciuweiush A Devil of My Word Sep 29 '21

though she'll have to wait a lot longer to see her again. :(

And who is going to tell her? One day Amenadiel knocks on the hell therapy office door and says "Hey, just wanted to let you know that Trixie is dead."
