Your "I will fight you" characters


Recommended Posts

I'm sure this has been discussed before, I may even have started a thread on it, but we've talked about everything a few dozen times anyway, so maybe this will get some interest.

Who are the soap characters you got irrationally angry about when you saw people criticize them - either other characters, or fans?

Yes, it's just fiction, it's not anything serious, but you still got pissed off.

My main ones were:

Delia - Ryan's Hope. This got especially bad when Randall Edwards was in the role, as the writing angered me so much.

Siobhan - Ryan's Hope. Only with Sarah Felder.

Carly - GH. Only with Sarah Brown.

I hate it when people call ERICA on AMC evil. I never thought of her as evil just a complicated person. I hate it especially when long term fans that should know good and well what her childhood was like call her evil and talk about her as if she were cardboard.

Yep. Same here. I can and do defend just about everything she did. In the hands of another actress, she could have been evil, but Susan gave her a vulnerability and a sense of humor that made you feel for her even when you wanted to smack her. She's not a villain at all, IMO.

Yes. Sleeping with Bill. Just pure gutter butt. When she did it to Hope & Bridget and still didn't learn anything and has done it yet again, now to her sister . . . Done.

Brooke doing it to anyone. Fine. Family, not cute. And this is her 3rd offense. Once, twice, maybe. Habitually, nope. Team Katie. Katie should've rammed her foot in the crack of Brooke's ass.

PSSNS-Theresa (though since then I realized just how psycho she really was.......stilll think Gwen could be worse sometimes)

DOOL-Sami (again, looking at older clips she was pretty evil, but I feel bad when Kate does something to her and then gets away with it)

B&B-Hope,Brooke

Y&R-Jack, (when people say how great Victor is and how bad Jack is)

YES and YES (at least while I still watched B&B.) Although I wouldn't call it irrational anger. I would defend them with my last breath against holier-than-thou haters. And I would wear my fingers down to nubs defending them against horrid plotwhorish writers who changed history to suit their pet of the moment/contrived twist for shock value/lack of writing talent.

Over-involved...yeah. Irrational...NO. LOL.

OLTL: Viki, Nora, Marty, Natalie, and often Blair. Back in the day a little Blair sans Todd used to go a long way for me. Then came the Jack baby switch and Live Week. That character has taken so much [!@#$%^&*] from the Todds and the writers, especially since 2001 or so, that I can give a pass for almost anything. Also: Kevin, R.J.

GH: Robin, Anna, Laura. See above.

    • John Black actually was the ultimate good guy soap hero. So I don’t mind the town gushing over him. It’s deserved.
    • Be glad it wasn't a Perry production.

    • The whole town gushing over John Black as if he was a saint is eye rolling.  I guess death really colors people's memories over his many flaws, but I guess that is normal and human nature. I'm still confused as to why Leo hasn't been written out.  The actor stank up two soaps with his sub par acting, what does he have on TPTB's to remain on these soaps.   What's the point of Cat?  I hope the new head-writers figure out her purpose and develop her character. And I much prefer scenes not focusing on John's death because life does go on for the world when someone passes.  
    • Wasn't there a break in Zaslow's first run? I thought Roger was off-screen for a while, and when Zas came back, Roger was hiding at the boarding house and Nola figured out there was something hinkey about him. I'm pretty sure Simon chose to leave the first time and was replaced by RVV. I don't want to assume Jordan's issues played a role in his first departure, but Maeve said in an interview that at some point, it became very hard for her to work with him and she asked to work with him less. That seems to fit 1986, where suddenly Vanessa is essentially Ross' law clerk and not at every Lewis family moment.
    • He needs to divorce her arse with her constant cheating.   She's no better than Doug... she's F*cking pathetic.
    • I didn't know of any interruptions for Maeve Kinkead after her 1997 return. Her runs would then be 1981-1987, 1989-1996, 1997-2000, short arcs until the end. I knew Maureen Garrett second run was interrupted from a 2009 interview but I couldn't recall the exact year. Her runs would then be 1976-1980, 1988-2000, short arcs until the end.
    • As I said in May, I have no problem with Martin and Bradley being married. You can still do all the fun introloper storylines with them as you do everyone else. Both men of a certain age, and it is very believable for them to have either a first love or have been previously married. And, you can do it without either of them cheating!

       I said something similar during the premiere week. Bill was the perfect age to play Martin as Vernon and Anita's child. I would've much preferred this version, but oh well.
    • I don't know how you want to count Maeve. She "retired" in '00, but would come back for appearances. I don't know however if she made an appearance in '01 or '03. In '02 I believe she came back for Josh and Reva's wedding. I assume she came back when Gina Tognoni took over the role of Dinah. And I know she was back for Ross' memorial service. Maureen Garrett was around until at least '00. I don't think Holly was in town when Ben returned though. I just got pissed off about Jerry all over again.
