Who are the absolutely most pathetic characters on tv?

[JackPeyton]

i agree - but i didnt know that Days was still airing behind anywhere.

[daysfan]

Marlena is certainly not pathetic, her character has just been twisted around in years but hell she was and is still fantastic.

I found it annoying how Marlena lost her bitchy spark at one point and turned into the damsel in distress all the time, but she still was loveable and even got it back at time.

And her love with John? I know it got unrealistic with all the kidnappings and brainwashings, but hey, its a soap. And whatever the case, it was true love, and all those troubles was what made their love story so magical.

I love that Marlena has a bit of a bitchy spark in her. It doesn't come out unless she's threatened or someone threatens, or hurts her family. She's a survivor, she knows how to take care of herself. Heck, she's saved John as much as he's saved her, she knows how to survive. But she's complex, and she'll go to far lenghts to keep people she loves safe (including marrying Stefano to save her kid from her rapist).

Norway (where I am) and Sweden (where he is) are both four years behind. Marlena was poisoned at Caroline's wake a few weeks ago, the funeral just happened. We just saw December, 2003 episodes where Sami and Roman burst in after John & Marlena are kissing, break a glass and Sami tells Roman to shoot John because he's trying to kill Marlena. Marlena really stands up for John against Sami and tells her straight. John & Marlena make love on the couch (dubbed the Broken Glass scene) - it's when we saw the blood-red screen as it faded out, had people kinda puzzled when it first aired because of the rumors of Marlena being the killer.

Theresa Lopez Fitzgerald Crane and Sheridan Crane Boothe. Oh, and Grace Bennett too. The most idiotic and pathetic characters on soaps EVER!

[Shawn]

WORD!

[Andrew]

WHAT DO YOU MEAN, THAT I AM A WOMAN?

[Andrew]

I dont think you should care what i think, i dont care what you think, i think Marlena is pathetic that is my opinion dont try to change it, alright!

[Andrew]

When a woman is acting younger then her daughters, that is pathetic, her lovesick schoolgirl crush for John is the silliest ever on the soapshow.

[Andrew]

Pest Spray, you are from Norway right?, when you wrote that, i began wondering how many soaps do Norway air?

[Pest Spray]

Lovesick schoolgirl crush? You mean the show's best love story - one that's lasted since 1986? Two supercouples in one? J&M neckin' in the pub isen't what I was asking for, but thank god two people actually gave a damn about the fans and tried making them a little happy. More than any writer has in the past, oh, what, 10 years?

West coast, name's Linn.

Three (Days, B&B and Y&R). How do YOU watch 2007 shows (or are you commenting ms Hall's acting without having actually seen the scenes)? I'm assuming you're watching them the same way I do.
