Characters you disliked or hated

[Jock Ewing Fan]

Dislike Leslie (could be the casting - didn't believe her as an Alexis Colby type), Peter (ridiculous), Nicholas (shallow) , Michelle Stevens (Unlikeable) , Dusty ( no respect for going after another man's wife), Mitch (self-righteous bore), Pam during/after the battle for Ewing Oil for not supporting Bobby and leaving him for Mark.

Really dislike Clayton Farlow ( not to be confused with Howard Keel, a terrific entertainer). He was sleazy in pursuing Sue Ellen under the guise of fatherly interest, cheap punched JR at the wedding with Sue Ellen,
tried to steal JR's son from him, accused JR of responsibility for Rebecca's misfortune when there were multiple factors/individuals involved and didn't he dump her for Miss Ellie, so what moral high ground did he have? Didn't tell the Ewings about his sister's issues,
The Anderson's seem to accept him too quickly after Jock's death, like he never existed.
JR was right to object when Clayton owned half of Southfork (A Ewing birthright, one that was possible because Jock saved it from foreclosure)

You dislike Dusty but don't list Mandy Winger for the same reason?!

 

[Jock Ewing Fan]

This was for the 'popular character' response.

I know I'm very much in the minority and although to use the term 'dislike' is a bit strong, I have never understood the fuss around Pam. I don't favour her for many reasons. Sorry.

I agree, especially during the battle for Ewing Oil, when she didn't support Bobby and went to Mark. I found her to be self-righteous and hypocritical.
She sure dumped Ray Krebbs in a hurry when Bobby was interested. Lucy was right when she said something like , you are a Ewing the way you use People (Ray?)
JR was right about what an interfering troublemaker she was. She had no right to remove John Ross from Southfork, that is an issue for JR and Sue Ellen to work out.
She wanted to take Jenna's baby away! She almost never sided with Cliff and Digger, her own family. Maybe its just as well that VP didn't come back

Deborah Shelton is a better performer. Dusty tried to take advantage of a vulnerable Sue Ellen. JR pursued Mandy, and he sure wasn't vulnerable

Disagree on both counts.

Mandy was a manipulative witch who even when told to 'go away', didn't and started a nasty little plan to steal JR. Thankfully it didn't work.

Better performer? OK...

Welcome by the way! Sorry didn't realise you were brand new. :love2:

 

[Jock Ewing Fan]

Why should he be taken to task for choosing Miss Ellie over Rebecca Wentworth?

This may be unpopular, but I saw Rebecca as a bit of an underdog, and made Clayton seem like an opportunist.
It made Clayton seem flighty and frivolous, Sue Ellen, Rebecca, Ellie
JR once said - You're a jealous suitor first my wife then my mother. And Clayton has the
nerve to pretend mourn for Rebecca after he ditched her?

Curious Do you dispute my other points? Why zero in on that one

Was it necessary to make fun of my comment?

Maybe it would be more accurate to say that I found Deborah Shelton to be more charismatic,
and she did appear in big-budget movies.
Jared Martin never struck me as a worthy adversary for JR

If you don't like Mandy W (I neither like or dislike her, by the way), couldn't your standard also apply at least in part,
to Afton Cooper, Holly Harwood, Julie Gray,
Katherine Wentworth, Kristin Sheppard, and Jenna Wade (would like to have seen the Morgan Fairchild version more)

 

[Sarah]

I wasn't making fun, I just don't think she was a better performer at all. I've seen more charisma come out of a wet sock.

And she wasn't in any big budget movies - I think maybe you have a little crush?

You don't know me very well yet but yes my comment applies to ALL of the above good shout! Except Jenna (later Jenna but yes Morgan Fairchild for sure!) :w1:

"she did appear in big-budget movies". I´d say she appeared big (bigger and bigger) in low-budget softcore movies.

And was killed with a power screwdriver. That's what the budget went on.

I could see why the rationale behind the other observations, but I was confused by this one

I didn't realize there was so much hate about Mandy Winger. I don't even care about her character.
I am getting all this grief, simply because I didn't list her as a character that I dislike.
I could list at least a dozen characters that I thought were worse.

I have nothing for or against Deborah Shelton.

People seem to want to overanalyze and cherry pick and edit to fit their view. OK

I wish you all well. You are entitled to your opinion. I didn't realize this was such a big deal

It's not at all I hate her, but you'll see that through time. You aren't getting any grief, we are just having fun. No one is dissing your view, we're just expressing our own thoughts.

Stick around and you'll have fun too. Sorry if we gave you the wrong impression. We're a nice bunch really - just have our own strong views. Topics are started for debate, everyone has a different view but you can't expect everyone to agree with you in the nicest possible way. :bl2:

I don't expect universal agreement, just mutual respect. Yes this is a lot of fun

 

[Sarah]

The thread is about characters you dislike or hate, but if you'd rather we keep our opinions to ourselves and only agree with you....?

I never said keep opinion to yourselves and that only people who agree with me are OK, that is a misrepresentation of my comments. I only suggested that disagreements can be stated with mutual respect. I did not post laughing emojis or demean other opinions. If that is how others express themselves,
I don't know what to say.

 

[Sarah]

Ok but we do that a lot around here so it's important not to take it to heart so much!

Tell you what. If being right about Mandy Winger, Deborah Shelton, Jared Martin, Message Board Etiquette and
all things Dallas are so important to others, fine. I just wanted to have a little fun, but fun is defined differently on this forum, apparently
I won't bother to return, since I will not engage on that level. Goodbye and enjoy this forum.

I think we should make THE COLBYS forum sort of a hallway of tellytalk. It would definitely give new forum members the right impression.
