[QUOTE="pete lashmar, post: 227097, member: 606"] I loved April in all her guises. She had a humour about her which I really enjoyed, she started off sly, but happy and cheeky. She grew on me very quickly and when Michelle arrived you could see how far she had come as a character. She could duck and dive with the best of them in Dallas, but she was also very venerable, which for me was the heart of the character. The way she traveled overseas to meet Bobby was not with confidence but with trepidation, but it paid off for her and she eventually got her man. I loved the scene where she was refused a table at a restaurant for being a single woman (was that really a policy anywhere???) and then returned as the new owner and sacked the maitre de - but she again did it with that cheeky humour. It's very sad that she was killed off, and even sadder that her appearances in the final season became a bug bear because of the widely romantic dreamy music and slow motion - that just wasn't April - April was a strong woman with an inner core of good common sense, business acumen and deep down she just wanted to be loved. A great character - probably the best new one the show introduced after Donna. Many of her scenes still make me smile with her quirkiness. [/QUOTE]
