I’m Still Missing Renee Rapp On Sex Lives Of College Girls, But I Think I Found My New Favorite Character

by

As a devoted fan of “The Sex Lives of College Girls“, I must say that Season 3 has been a rollercoaster of emotions, especially with Reneé Rapp’s departure as Leighton. However, amidst the bittersweet goodbyes, a ray of sunshine named Lila (Ilia Isorely) has emerged to brighten up my TV screen.

Leighton was indeed my favorite character, but Lila has managed to carve out a special place in my heart. What I love about her is that she’s a breath of fresh air amidst the drama-filled lives of the other girls. She’s not bogged down by college or relationship troubles and instead finds joy in the simple things, like creating men’s underwear fashion shows (who knew that could be so entertaining?).

The Halloween episode of Season 3 was a testament to her unique charm. While the rest of the girls were dealing with their own issues, Lila was on a mission to find the cute delivery person she met once before – a quest that took her through a series of hilarious hurdles. It’s moments like these that remind me why I fell in love with this show and why Lila has become my new favorite character.

Despite missing Leighton, it’s comforting to have another character to root for, especially as things seem to be getting tougher for the rest of the cast. If you haven’t checked out “The Sex Lives of College Girls” yet, I highly recommend it – just make sure to stock up on popcorn for all the laughter that comes with watching Lila’s antics!

Oh, and a little inside joke: I swear, if they ever introduce delivery robots at my job, I’m outta here! They can’t steal my tips or my sense of humor! 😄

In the 2024 TV lineup, Season 3 of “The Sex Lives of College Girls” was unveiled in November, and it brought about a host of alterations. It had long been known that Reneé Rapp’s time on the series would conclude in this season, but the farewell scene where she parted ways with her closest friends on set was still heartrending.

In simpler terms, I adored Leighton, and it’s not just missing her – it’s more than that. Fortunately, the show handled her absence by bringing in fresh faces as new cast members and giving more importance to secondary characters like Lila (Ilia Isorely), who has been there since the beginning of the series. This change has definitely won me over, as I’ve grown fond of Lila now.

Initially appearing as Kimberly’s (Pauline Chalamet) supervisor at the university’s coffee shop Sips, Lila gradually evolved into a supportive confidante for Kimberly, who struggled with college life in the first season. As the series progressed, Kimberly introduced Lila to her roommates, fostering mutual support and camaraderie among them. The character of Lila became more developed in the second season. With Leighton departing Essex for MIT, fans have had ample opportunity to delve deeper into Lila’s personality during the spare time created by this departure.

Among the reasons I particularly enjoy Lila is that she seems relatively free of drama compared to others. Unlike other characters who balance college and personal relationships, as portrayed in the show’s title, Lila focuses on making the most of her time in Essex. Unlike Kimberly and Whitney (played by Alyah Chanelle Scott), she doesn’t get overly stressed out, and unlike Bela (Amrit Kaur), she usually avoids deep-seated troubles. Instead, Lila’s storylines frequently inject humor into otherwise dramatic scenes.

The second episode of Season 3 saw her hosting a fashion show for her line of men’s underwear during its debut. However, she kept it a secret from everyone about the purpose of the fashion show, leading to some amusing reactions from her friends. Moreover, her antics have become even more intriguing as she takes on a battle against the school’s delivery robots, fearing they might take over their jobs and steal their earnings.

Nevertheless, it was during Season 3’s Halloween special that Lila really won me over as my preferred character. While Bela faced challenges with FAF issues, Kimberly grappled with adjusting to her new law symposium, and Whitney tried to rekindle friendship with Canaan, Lila embarked on a quest of hers: tracking down the adorable delivery person whose name she hadn’t managed to get during their previous encounter.

Indeed, it sounds simpler on paper than in practice, as she devoted the entire episode to purchasing assorted items for Sips, hoping to secure the correct delivery person. Despite repeated mistakes, she eventually tracked down the individual she sought. However, the obstacles she encountered along the way were formidable.

Even though I’ll forever cherish Leighton, it’s delightful to have another lively character to support amidst the growing gloom for the rest of the cast.
