Her relationship with John is a character arch

[@ChocoPaid-vp8yz]

I think Monica and John's relationship is my favorite in the show cuz it doesn't make any sense how well the communicate with each other.... Yet it's the easiest to understand

[@SuperNASCARrocks]

It must have been painful for Dutton to hear his grand son says that he had a brother and his parent named him John. He took it as they named it after him...

[@saramartinez5872]

I love Beth just comforts Tate ❤

[@LavitosExodius]

It's confirmed later they did name him after his grandfather.

[@Warrior1Spartan]

Reading a lot of comments about Monica saying, "Oh, she's whiny" and "she's mopey". Need I remind everyone that her brother was killed in the first episode and that her sister committed suicide in the second episode? What kind of psychological damage would that do to you if you weren't used to it? How would you react? Or, the bigger question: what if she was acting out as a mental response to those traumas?

I really love Monica's growth through the seasons, and how hers and John's friendship has grown. I thought she was insufferable in the earlier seasons and then I learned more about her and now she's one of my favorite characters. By far the most grounded in reality

[@riogrande5761]

At 8:00, Beth reminds me of the posters I saw at the Metro stops in northern England between South Shields and New Castle. So many had women with bruised faces. They were public awareness posters because domestic violence was so common in northern England. Down south, apparently not as much.

[@Horsepowerimages]

I think a lot of people miss understand & don’t give her the credit. I’m not mad on her but she’s more than a whiny little girl.

[@Jpilgrim30]

She’s insufferable at times. What about her own people and the suffering THEY caused her own family? How about her brother killing Lee Dutton in cold blood? Her self righteousness is endless. You’d think with all of her whining about her people and their land she’d understand her husband’s family’s struggle to protect their own land. She comes around but they sure made it easy not to like her for a while. Wisdom comes with age and experience. Everyone thinks they know what life should be until life slaps them upside the head with reality a few times.

[@garywagner2466]

The Monica character was infuriating. Such a weak person. Never satisfied. Always making the stupidest choices. No idea what Kayce saw in her. He was clearly suffering from PTSD when he picked her. But these character interactions is what made Yellowstone so interesting. Not everyone is of good character. That’s reality.

[@billabonggolkpr]

She's the worst character in the show by miles.

[@teorror8729]

[@eyebrow1]

Mopey Monica... Always moping around upset about something. Couldn't stand her character.

[@kevenCodes]

Nothing worse than the daughter but Monica is a close second place.

[@chadbinette3201]

Monica "my relatives live in smaller houses than this room" you mean your brother who killed kayces brother and tried to kill Kacie? Or your sister in law that ended her life in the same room as her kids? Or the meth lab that blew up or countless other problems. Nothing was ever good enough for Monica, kayce was always embracing Monica's heritage but never willing to open her eyes to his. Been watching Yellowstone since day one and could never stand Monica. She doesn't like the buttons but has no problem taking the perks, like the job John got her which led to an apartment and new clothes. Or having their child buried in Dutton cemetery, and her whole tribe can be there but the duttons, actual family cant be ? They were able to get their own house because of the job Kacie and .Monica have. And they both have those jobs because of John Dutton. Or the fact that when Monica is at the ranch she wears boots, belt buckle and the cowgirl setup but when she's in the reservation she wears native clothes. Be who you are don't try to fit it or impress anyone.

Worst actor in the whole show

[@seelzonwheelz69]

If you’ve ever known someone who got pregnant young you know that it kinda freezes that person at whatever maturity level they were at the time. Monica in the first couple seasons really portrayed that well she behaved like a 19 year old trying to find herself which made sense but it was just such a harsh juxtaposition with Kayce who because of his time overseas is a full grown man and then some from a maturity standpoint.

[@mfundokhumalo3933]

Yaaa.. think that would happen in Real life??? I can testify that it doesn't, with more than a dozen living real life examples, and in all economic spectrums. White men look at Native children or grandchildren with the greatest of shame, and OBVIOUSLY so.

Of all the characters on Yellowstone, Kacey and Monica have the most real on screen relationship on this series. Both characters (and their son) add a tremendous amount of realism and the variety of what life gives us. Without going into the character developments and replays of the show, I believe people can understand the complexities of a husband and wife from two very different backgrounds and still make their marriage work under the stresses of western living and troubles making a livable wage. You have to be a person with a strong will and perseverance to make a serious go at it. These actors do a tremendous job of providing that view to us on screen. They help make this Yellowstone series worth watching.

[@fckwful]

At least one important scene is missing: When their son was kidnapped, she asked Kasey not only to get him back but to kill the kidnappers. That's the point when she realized that she's not that different at all.
