Message: <blockquote data-quote="Angela Channing" data-source="post: 441744" data-attributes="member: 33"><p>I think Angela was a very different type of villain to the ones on the other prime time soaps. Angela was ruthless in business and quite cruel to members of her family but unlike JR, Alexis, Abby, Sable, Constance, etc., she never cheated on her partner, never had an affair with a married man and never used sex as a weapon to get what she wanted. This made her easier to like in a way that was more difficult for the other characters. Also, Earl Hamner always thought it was important that audience liked Angela, which was a key factor in why he wanted Jane Wyman to play the role. "Who wouldn't like Jane Wyman?", I think was what he said. So I think it's not just people on this forum that have a "romanticised image" of her, that was the intension for the character.</p></blockquote><p></p>
