She's actually one of my favorite characters. I think she is cute in the way she talks, but it is unusual and I can see where a person might find it annoying. She's also funny - I've laughed out loud a few times at what she has said -- like when she said that people were going to think that Cleho was a ***** (at the pub).
She's also good with showing emotion and can be touching at times, although I can't recall a specific example. I do agree that her going off like that on Nathan seemed a bit over the top -- I guess she reacted that way because she still loves Nathan and so she was "especially hurt" or something. I also agree that her teeth/mouth is enormous, but it looks pretty on her IMO.
I started watching the show again in May after several years of not watching, so I missed all of the bad stuff she did (which I don't even know what it was that she did - I just know that she used to be a bad character because vague references are made to that on the show).
Ehh. I don't really HATE her, but I don't like her either. I agree she is a poor substitute for Chelsea, and Melanie has no real ties to the canvas.
I have never hated any character more than Rafe though so I disagree on that. I'm just sick of this whole story period.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
