Series linking

Just a couple of queries about something I've often wondered about when linking uploaded images together to form a series link.

Using a few of my uploads as examples - I have uploaded a fair few photos of a particular blonde girl, which for this example I will call 'girl A' - this is she.

In some of her photos, she is alongside a brunette (girl B) such as in this photo.

In others, she is alongside another blonde (girl C) such as in this photo.

So now we have three photos in a series, where the common link is clearly 'girl A'. However, there are also pictures of 'girl B' and 'girl C' on their own, which are in turn, linked to the pictures of themselves alongside 'girl A'.

The issue (if there is one) is that now we have the separate pictures of 'girl B' and 'girl C' linked together, when there is no obvious reason as to why.

So my question is, should I be linking all images of 'girl A' together, as I have been, or should I only be linking the ones that are from the same event, such as her holiday snaps for example, and having a separate series for her in the pink dress etc?

You're essentially asking for a way to link two connected series to each other without it becoming a massive clusterfuck of just like 30 different girls who have some crazy 6 degrees of separation shit going down, no?
If so, I think it's a grand idea.

Yeah it can happen but in that case we can't do much more than having a big series of those 3 girls even if on some of them the girls are alone on the pictures. The system isn't built to be able to have one picture part of different series anyway.
This problem mostly happens with facebook-like pics but it's not that much of a deal with other type of pictures.

Pretty much, yeah. I guess it's difficult because on one hand you may want to see every picture of the girl in question, in which case the current method works. However some people may just want to see that particular set, so I was thinking there might be a way to link 'albums' perhaps, rather than every single photo.
