It turns out she was a...

[Dedshott]

You lot are a funny, imaginative, physically powerful and financially well off lot of company directors and oil rig managers, I wonder if you could help me. I write for a living, so you can imagine how much wealth I have accrued. I have reached a slightly knotty problem in a script and wondered if you might have any ideas.

It is a romantic comedy, and our hero, ex-husband of our heroine, has found himself a date to take to his ex-wife's wedding. He doesn't know her very well, they have had a few dates, and then he finds himself boarding a plane to attend the nuptials abroad.

It is then that he discovers something about her that shows him that she is a completely unsuitable/nightmare of a woman, and he is now stuck with her and needs to get rid of her.

What would be your nightmare thing for your new squeeze to reveal that makes your future relationship untenable, and no one would blame you for ditching her...

bloke?

[PurpleMoonlight]

A cock.

[Dedshott]

Me? Yes. Bloke.

On a serious note, a pregnancy termination on social grounds.

Ehem.
Reminds me of an episode of Frasier perhaps?

Much would depend on the hero's personality surely.
Which then suggests a dependency on how well developed your character is by this stage?

EV-driving vegetarian Lewis Hamilton fan with 4 kids and a penchant for stalking her exes.

Sorry. I see what you mean. I think that might be a bit too on the nose. She could be perfectly nice and a pre/post op transexual. An obvious one would be a massive racist. Then we (as an audience) can happily turn against her.

[Mr Whippy]

She used to be/was from Iran?

[thepawbroon]

She was actually Bill.

Be like Bill. By that I mean, don't bother using your own imagination to generate exposure and wealth, use the means of social media to mine the imagination of other attention-hungry webjocks. Or indeed company directors on their lunch break.

[Dedshott]

It is like that episode of Frasier which is why religion is out of the question. It isn't a huge plot point, and the woman has only been a in a couple of scenes, and it near the end. The man is our main focus.

[Sheets Tabuer]

Farts like the woodwind section of the Royal philharmonic tuning up.

[Amused2death]

She's related to my Ex.

[Nezquick]

A murderer...

A bleeding heart lefty...

Both as bad as each other in my mind.

Sister?

Transexual -oh you cant do that it's transphobic
Bipolar - no, cant do that it's offensive to manic depressives
Socialist - cant do that the BBC wouldn't buy your script
An FGM victim - no that would be islamophobic

Got it - a UKIP councillor, the comedy mafia will love that, the BBC will love it, Conservative home will love it - perfect

[PurpleMoonlight]

She works as a prostitute.

Script is already bought, we're in the rewrites stage here. And it's a movie, so we can say what we like...

[Billsnemesis]

She has aspirations to be a prostitute
