7. Maggie Geha
Maggie Geha’s performance as Poison Ivy in FOX’s Gotham was a masterful portrayal of the iconic comic book character. While her introduction into the series was met with some controversy, Geha truly came into her own as the character as the show progressed.
One of the main concerns fans had with Geha’s introduction as Poison Ivy was the strange storyline that led to her transformation into the villain. While it was certainly unexpected seeing Ivy aged up, it left many fans feeling uneasy due to the fact that the show made it clear she technically was still a young girl despite her appearance.
When you take out that plot point, there is no denying Geha perfectly captured the character’s dangerous and unpredictable nature. Her interpretation of the character was both captivating and thrilling, making her a standout among the already talented cast.
It’s hard not to wonder what could have been if Geha had been cast as Poison Ivy from the beginning. With her talent and dedication, it’s easy to imagine a version of the show where Geha’s Poison Ivy played a much larger role and was given more time to truly shine.
Overall, while the circumstances of her introduction may have been a little rocky, Maggie Geha’s performance as Poison Ivy in Gotham was nothing short of exceptional. Her work on the show will undoubtedly be remembered as a highlight of her career, and a testament to her undeniable talent as an actress.
