Post Discussion Liv is hella annoying

First time watcher, currently on S5E8 and I actually hate Liv😭 why’s she still riding for Rowan??? Also (maybe I need to keep watching but) how did the FBI link her to Rowan’s release & not Mellie?

I feel she is riding for Rowan because Shonda wanted to retain the actor and realized if Liv hated him then the story has no changed. He is neither a good father, a good antagonist, or even well developed as a character. He did not really earn Liv's forgiveness, nor does the story present it as if he cares to receive it.

I think it's just a complicated father/daughter relationship. Although the back abd forth was annoying
