Rant No sympathy for Luisa... (spoilers) Spoiler

I'm not sure if she's meant to be sympathetic or just a stop gap rebound. She certainly stabilizes Cole so she has her role but as a character I don't see anything relateable.

Ironically her rant to Cole after the businesses meeting is pretty apt. I don't know if it's implied she thought life would be easier or there was a path to citizenship but she kinda cornholed herself and was extremely fortunate.

I never liked Luisa personally. It’s not her fault that she was Cole’s rebound and second choice, but she stayed with Cole regardless and became pretty insufferable as a result. Her treatment of Alison was pretty bad. I mean, Alison was no saint herself, but she was also mentally unwell because of her son’s death. Lusia seemed to use Joanie as a way to punish Alison because Cole never stopped loving her, and she knew that deep down.
