Members Clear Drama Posted July 19, 2011 Members Share Posted July 19, 2011 Babe was loved, she was made popular by JR. Jacob Young made her liked. UGh! Popular my ass! That b!tch needed to die in that Satin Slayer epi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Marley Posted July 19, 2011 Members Share Posted July 19, 2011 I'd rather JR die from alcohol poisoning. I really hope that Babe is dead for many reasons but mainly because I don't want AMC to turn into some crappy SyFy show where everyone is miraculously alive in the span of two months.

Members dragonflies Posted July 19, 2011 Author Members Share Posted July 19, 2011 She was popular? I wouldn't go that far, she had fans, all character's do, but popular? On what planet? She actually was pretty much universally disliked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted July 19, 2011 Members Share Posted July 19, 2011 Planet earth on a soap called All My Children, 2003-2007 She was loved indepnent of JR. A good chunk of her fanbase disliked him and rooted for Alexa above all. If anything he made her hated. I know I hated her back in 2006, when she chose to reunite with the bastard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members You're Soaking in it Posted July 19, 2011 Members Share Posted July 19, 2011 I disliked the character bigtime, too... But I'm rational enough (and was paying enough attention at the time) to digest that she was, in some strange way, pretty popular among many fans. And obviously she holds significance to the show's story thread for some time over the last decade - so I can wrap my mind around how she might make a reappearance. Babe is, at minimal, a polarizing character. But from the context of what I'm reading, I'm not sure if we know who's being called an "effin bee" here... Babe.. or Alexa?

Members Cheap21 Posted July 19, 2011 Members Share Posted July 19, 2011 Yeah she was hated for that but but she was still very loved and popular throughout the baby storyline. She alienated quite a bit of her fanbase which stuck with her when she reunited with JR and didnt get them (some) back till she left him. Thats why I say she was one of the most polarizing character created in recent times. There really hasnt been anyone that has divided the viewers quite like she has in the past decade. You either loved her or hated her. There wasnt much in between Cant speak for CD, but in many caes, both. People hated Alexa as a person just as much as her character Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AllMyDaysatGH Posted July 19, 2011 Members Share Posted July 19, 2011 I liked Babe for the most part and am looking forward to seeing her back. Glad they didn't ask Amanda Baker back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members You're Soaking in it Posted July 19, 2011 Members Share Posted July 19, 2011 Yeah, I was "kind of" sensing that... I just don't get what for. Did Havins do something horrific (let me clarify: in her non-fictional, REAL life and not her REEL life) or is it just that bizarre phenomenon of inability to separate actor from character?

Members Cheap21 Posted July 19, 2011 Members Share Posted July 19, 2011 From what I gather, people blamed her for the writing of Babe. Allegedly, they claim Alexa whined about the scripts and had them altered to make Babe come across more sympathetic and lovable. In doing so, part of the reason Babe was portrayed the way she was bc of Alexa herself. Ive seen alot of hate stemmed from that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members You're Soaking in it Posted July 19, 2011 Members Share Posted July 19, 2011 And that's likely such bunk. I'm sure Havins didn't want her character flushed down a toilet, but since when did Megan McTavish start succuming her "vision" to an actor's request? And even better, when did she ever need to be told to make a morally bankrupt character more sympathetic? That's like McT's template! I think it's just, unfortunately, easier for some people to pin their frustrations on the faces they see most - the ones on their TV screens.
