Ginger

Ginger María Rodriguez is a character on Please Like Me. She is one of the bipolar patients at Rose's mental home, portrayed by Denise Drysdale.

Background
Ginger wanted to save her virginity until she got married. However, her boyfriend at the time got angry at this and broke up with her. In retaliation, Ginger attended a party and slept with her ex's best friend - whom she hated. According to Ginger, the man who took her virginity also happened to be fat. Ginger also claims she was raped on her first time, although this is most definitely a lie. Due to having bipolar disorder, Ginger is admitted into a mental home.

Series 2
Rose first meets Ginger when she walks into the bathroom and sees Ginger trying to hang herself with the hairdryer. Later, Ginger, Rose, Hannah and Rose's son Josh exchange embarrassing virginity-loss stories to decide who gets the last chocolate. Josh thinks Hannah should have the chocolate, but Ginger eats it anyway. When everyone goes to the zoo, Ginger stays behind so she can be alone. However, when everyone comes back, they find out that Ginger has killed herself and left Rose a goodbye letter: "Rose, you fat bitch. Thanks for keeping me company. Take care of yourself, Ginger." After reading it, Rose burns it, letting go of her grief.
