Stephanie Leonidas as Sophie Hawthorne in the final episode of American Gothic: Whistler’s Mother. In this episode the story behind who is the Silver Bells Killer

and why he did what he did

is revealed, while the twists and turns keep coming.

Over the series I thought that Stephanie played Sophie as a complex character with a lot of love and feeling. It would have been so easy to have Sophie be the stereotypical drug addict, but she isn’t. She’s also an artist, she’s smart and she cares deeply. In the end, you really feel for her, despite what she did to Jack, Cam and others.
