Will This Lindsay Lohan Comeback Actually Stick?

By Caitlin Corsetti

That’s the million dollar question, huh? I feel like we’ve been waiting so long for Lindsay Lohan to make a real comeback and steal our hearts like she did back in the day. After several stints in jail and her court fiascos, all of us have been wishing that cute little ginger would turn her life around. But she keeps proving us wrong over and over, so I don’t blame the world for thinking she can’t do it. On the flip side, someone’s got to give her a little hope. Leave it to the folks at Saturday Night Live to give her a billionth chance, and she thinks she did a great job.

Well, props to Lindsay for taking a break from the morgue to attempt a comeback at acting. It takes a lot of guts to make fun of yourself and all of your scandals on public television. Sadly, it wasn’t quite the performance we were looking for. In between jokes about her drug use, brief time as a lesbian, car chases, and bad movies, you can catch Lindsay staring at the cue cards and being super awkward. I couldn’t help but cringe.

I really hope this doesn’t mark the end of the funny Lindsay we saw in Mean Girls, but I think it might be. I will admit that Lindsay looked healthy, so that was a relief. I truly want her to make a real comeback and become her old talented self, though maybe she should keep focusing on her wellbeing instead of jumping back into acting too soon. I think she has the potential to have a great career again, but I don’t think it’s quite that time yet. Maybe she should continue to lay low for a while and keep her life on the right track for now.

What do you think? How do you think Lindsay did on SNL last night? Is she comeback ready?
