Gotham: Grown-Up Ivy Will Be Guide To Bruce

The new, older Poison Ivy will be a guide to Bruce Wayne in Season 3 of Gotham

A lot of people are going through some big changes in the upcoming third season of Gotham. But perhaps none as big as Ivy Pepper aka Poison Ivy. Through some encounter with one of Hugo Strange’s creations, she’s suddenly exoeriencing one hell of a growthspurt. How will this change her relationship with her friend Selina Kyle? Maggie Geha, who will be playing the older Ivy on Gotham, answered this question:

"Selina was her only friend in the world. She lost her parents and she’s very secluded from society, so Selina is the only one she has and the only one she trusts. So I think what happens when Ivy goes through this transformation is I think she perceives that Selina betrayed her by not protecting her in letting this happen.I think there’s some anger and resentment and I think it’ll be interesting to see their reaction to each other when they first meet after the transformation. For sure I think it’ll be a power struggle."

Gotham EP John Stephens also explained that the nature of Ivy’s relationship with Bruce Wayne will change as well:

"Bruce, when he decides to play the part of the billionaire playboy in future years, didn’t just decide to do that. He became that guy for a while then pulled himself out of it.We wanted him to have a sort of guide in that this year. What if he had not quite an older sister, but an older guide — a woman who could bring him through that world. Ivy seemed like the natural person to do that."

Not really sure how aging a few years makes Ivy a person who knows how to navigate Gotham’s high society. Guess we’ll find out when the show returns September 19th on Fox!
