This tribute Ron’s daughter put together really hits home. To this day, when my daughter calls from New York or sends a message saying, “I love you, Dad,” it brings tears to my eyes. It’s what that word means to me: someone she trusts, looks up to and knows she can turn to, whatever life throws at her. Having that place in your children’s lives is an incredible privilege. Knowing that one day they’ll have to carry on without you in this crazy, crazy world is both frightening and heartbreaking. Rest in peace, Ron Duguay.

An evil, vile person who is also deeply broken by the system she grew up in, with only one chance to make things right: Carrie. Unfortunately, she refused to take it. And the saddest part is that Carrie might have been the one person willing to help her if she'd only put her pride aside and genuinely apologized amid her own personal downfall. For a brief moment, I really thought she might finally have a change of heart and choose to be better. But her hatred ultimately consumed her, and watching her spiral further into her own destruction was genuinely exhausting.

Truly the most compelling and vulnerable portrayal of Chris Hargensen we've ever gotten. Alison Thornton absolutely knocked it out of the park ❤️

[Edward Burger (not Berger) ❤️🌈 @edwardbrgr]

The show has its flaws, for sure, particularly the underwhelming finale, but this Chris Hargensen might be one of the best-written characters and performances of the entire year.

It's just a brilliant portrayal of a complex and three-dimensional villain. Despite knowing how the story goes, I genuinely had hope that she could've realized that her hatred and jealousy were destroying her, and that she still had a chance to become a better person. That bathroom scene was perfect. How I truly wish she had chosen to make peace with Carrie instead, because Carrie could've been the one and only genuine friend who stood by her amid her personal downfall, perhaps even helping her find the redemption she desperately needed. The previous versions of Chris never made me feel this way about her.

[CHRIS HARGENSON 4 PROM QUEEN* YJ s4 spoilers @cobavines]

@Ughly14 People keep saying she’s a psychopath or sociopath but she can’t be. You can easily see through her facade and suffers. She feels. I don’t think she’s a sociopath. I think she’s a popular high school senior.

[Edward Burger (not Berger) ❤️🌈 @edwardbrgr]

@Ughly14 She's the best Chris Hargensen for me because this is the version of Chris that I could've encountered in real life

Alison Thornton is an icon for playing this role. She's amazing!

[Icky @Ughly14]

This actress is insane. She makes my blood boil but then there are scenes where she becomes a regular scared teenage girl and it's so heartbreaking and then she switches right back to making me want to strangle her. 10/10 performance she needs to be in everything

Amamos profundamente ver una buena villana en una serie…

Alison Thornton interpreta a Chris Hargensen, una de las villanas más TOP que hemos visto en una serie juvenil.

@edwardbrgr Hi! We spoke with Alison (Chris) if you were interested in her thoughts on filming and her character's actions in the show.

[Edward Burger (not Berger) ❤️🌈 @edwardbrgr]

Alison Thornton plays THE Chris Hargensen that this particular version needs the most. She’s perfect, and I absolutely loved her Chris.

The way she says “I’m sorry” as her last words before getting crushed, because she’s finally begging Carrie for mercy when she had every opportunity to apologize to her before, is truly heartbreaking. It makes her death feel much more nuanced and impactful. And I genuinely thought this one was one of the most improved part of the story. The previous versions of Chris were either portrayed as completely evil, which is totally fine, I love me some evil Chris, or given very little depth. In some versions, we only see her and Billy’s car fly away, and they die without us seeing their deaths closely enough. Alison’s version, however, feels much more human and layered, which makes her final moments hit so much harder.

Mike Flanagan says Stephen King approved his creative changes in the ‘CARRIE’ series.

“The high school & teenage experience has changed radically. There’s a lot new things to say, a lot of new perspectives on this story that we, Stephen King included, felt deserved to be told.”

Prime Video's superb "Carrie" reboot is a Variety Critic's Pick.

"This 'Carrie' builds on the essential elements of King’s story while connecting it to his broader universe" and "returns agency to the young women at the center of the story. 'Carrie' reminds audiences that strength and ability don’t always look the way one might expect, and that power comes at a high cost, no matter who wields it."
