Linda opens up about her past in 'Palm Royale'
Linda, played by Laura Dern, is a supporting character in 'Palm Royale' and gets enough spotlight. Initially introduced as a feminist encouraging Maxine Simmons to join her group, Linda's character evolves as the series progresses, revealing an intriguing past.
Despite her disdain for the elite, conservative women's lifestyle, Linda herself was once part of it.
During a visit to Norma, Maxine spots Linda leaving a room, claiming she was visiting her father, which Maxine later realizes was Evelyn's husband's room. Linda discloses that Evelyn Rollins is her stepmother.
Although Maxine's aspirations differ from Linda's beliefs, the latter acts as a supportive friend and becomes Maxine's third sponsor.
While signing, Linda reveals her real name as Penelope Rollins, which she changed to Linda due to her perceived burden of the family name.
In Episode 2, viewers also discover that Linda was abandoned at the altar on her wedding day, although additional details are withheld at this stage.
What does Linda find in the climax scene of 'Palm Royale' Episode 3?
In Episode 3, Maxine requests that Linda vacate the Dellacorte mansion before the club ladies arrive.
Linda then heads to Robert's cabin, where they share drinks and conversation. During their discussion, Robert mentions hearing from Norma that Linda had accused Evelyn of being a gold digger for marrying her father, a viewpoint not entirely aligned with feminism.
However, Linda's character seems to be concealing a significant secret, possibly involving Norma, which will likely be revealed later.
As Linda prepares to depart after spending the night with Robert, viewers are left with a cliffhanger as they see her holding the Rolodex that Maxine had been searching for.
This leaves us pondering the significance of the Rolodex and the secrets Linda is keeping.
Three episodes of 'Palm Royale' are currently streaming on Apple TV+.
