'Dirty John': Does Veronica Newell really care about her mother or is it just her inheritance?

While we don't tend to focus on it as much, the last four episodes have left us wondering if Veronica Newell, Debra Newell's eldest daughter has more than love on her mind.

You can't deny it - Bravo's 'Dirty John' is only getting better with each episode with its characters toeing the line between good and evil. Clearly, there is a victim and a perpetrator but, there is also a family member who seems to have ulterior motives in lending a helping hand. While we don't tend to focus on it as much, the last four episodes have left us wondering if Veronica Newell, Debra Newell's eldest daughter has more than love on her mind.

 



 

 

Veronica "Ronnie" Newell is an absolute delight to watch on screen. She's nobody's fool, she refuses to waste her time faking smiles or pleasantries and is so sure of herself, that it is sometimes shocking to think that she's Debra's daughter. Played by Juno Temple, it leaves you wondering if she picked up a thing or two from Emma Roberts when they starred together in the coming of age chick flick 'Wild Child'. Roberts played a similar character named Poppy Moore in the film while Temple was the nerdier and bushy-haired Drippy, who cared only about Wagon Wheels. However, there's one thing that's pretty suspicious about Veronica and it hides in plain sight - she likes her mother's money way too much.
