Okay, maybe this is a stretch, but it jumped out at me. Just as Rupert Murdoch dumped his wife of six years, Jerry Hall, over an email giving very vague reasons, in Episode 3 of Season 4, Logan Roy unceremoniously fires one of his most trusted executives, Gerri Kellman (J. Smith-Cameron), without warning at Connor’s wedding.

Instead of telling her himself, he goads his younger son, Roman, into doing it for him. Is it a coincidence that both of these women have the same (phonetic) name and get unceremoniously dropped after a years-long relationship in which no obvious falling out took place?

Maybe. Maybe not.
