So the twist here is that Mrs Kersh is the daughter of Bob Gray aka the guy who IT is taking the form of. But she thinks that he's just possessed by IT, she doesn't realize that IT isn't an entity who possesses people like a demon but instead it's an Shapeshifting entity
Bill Skarsgard's range has to be studied
She said the line...Ms. Kersh said the same line y'all from It 2!!! You know what they say about Derry, no one ever really dies!!! Very , very cool callback. I don't think y'all have realized yet who she is from the movie. Don't forget shes the old lady Bev meets in her apt that turns into a monster so at some point we can only assume she gets killed by pennywise . Makes sense since It uses Pennywise form that he would use his daughters form as well.
John is suffering inside tryna hear this show over Roxy’s adlibs 😂😂
30:44 is the same line Mrs Kersh says to Bev in It chapter II
Mrs. Kerch was the old lady in It Chapter 2 when adult Beverly went to the apartment and met Mrs. Kerch and she said the line "no one who dies here ever really dies" and mentions that her father joined the circus.
“We DO NOT ride at dawn in Derry.” 🤣
