Skylover Posted April 24, 2020 Report Share Posted April 24, 2020 Who are the best and worst characters from the 7TWO repeat? I would say Matt Wilson is the worst. Viv is one of the worst too. Greg, Sam, Nick, Lucinda. Apart from the longstanding cast, I'd say the best were Jack, Shane, Angel, Carly, probably more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Forever Missed Posted April 24, 2020 Report Share Posted April 24, 2020 Bobby was the best for me she remained consistent during her entire stint while Michael was the worst he married Pippa knowing she was a foster mother yet always tried to talk her out of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cymbaline Posted April 24, 2020 Report Share Posted April 24, 2020 Best: Alf: Goes without saying Donald Fisher. A great character whose downfall only started when he got together with Marilyn. I loved how he started out hating Bobby and went on to develop a lovely warm father/daughter relationship with her. Pippa: Both iterations of the character were a fine centre-piece for the show. Even as an adult, I'd love to have Pippa take me under her wing. Tom: The dad we all wished we had. Maybe he was a bit too perfect but his death was pretty shocking at the time. Michael: A character who gets a bad rap by not being Tom and perhaps, by being on the show for longer so we got to see more of the warts. Marilyn: Who wouldn't like to have Maz as a friend? She might be dizzy at times but she has a heart of gold and she'd stand on her head for you. Bobby: She came a long way from the vagabond at the start of the series. I still think the powers that be made a huge mistake in killing her off. Even if she left the Bay and never came back, it would've been a better ending than what she got. Jack: A lad who continued to be a handful for the Rosses Damian: A shout-out for one of the normal kids. He might've been overshadowed by Shane and Jack but there was an endearing everyman quality to him. Damo - if you hadn't opted for the priesthood you'd have had woman queuing up to date you once they grew up and stopped having their heads turned by bad boys. Carly: One of the original foster kids. Re-watching the Early Years reminded me of the warmth and spark that Sharyn Hodgson brought to the character. Morag: Legend Worst Sophie. She was fine at the start but by the time she moved to Perth she was insufferable. The part didn't do Rebekah Elmaloglou any favours either because most of her lines were delivered by a grunt, followed by shrieking. She's lucky she found a new home on Neighbours. Adam. The joke wore thin after a while and he really outstayed his welcome Lucinda: Any potential the character had was lost once she got embroiled in the tiresome Lou/Nick/Ryan love triangle. Though I have to say, as a straight female, I wouldn't have thrown either of her admirers out on a cold night Angel: Not a likeable character in her own right. She also turned Shane into a bore. By the time he was killed off, the programme was dedicating too much airtime to Shane and Angel and their soap opera within a soap opera. Roxanne/Donna: At this point, it's hard to remember what exactly they did apart from be annoying when it came to their relationships with men. Lucinda falls into this category too. Rob: Mostly wore a vest, had a tiresome on-off relationship with Roxy and mysteriously vanished overnight, taking the Boat Shed with him. Viv: Unless you re-watched those Early Years episodes, you'd forget that she was on the show. Greg: Would Bobby really have married him if she wasn't at risk of losing Sam? He was little more than a chubby, self-centred, not too bright lad who had zero chemistry with Bobby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old H&A Fan Posted April 25, 2020 Report Share Posted April 25, 2020 David was the most contemptible of all (causing Sophie to get pregnant as a schoolgirl, and being made to look like the victim in death), followed not too far behind by Ben, whose relationship with Carly developed unrealistically quickly and was the classic "tall, dark and handsome" ****** of a guy that girls find attractive Alf will always be a flamin' legend. Dodge was the subject of the most exciting storyline in the show's history Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j.laur5 Posted April 27, 2020 Report Share Posted April 27, 2020 Best Irene-Her character development was so well played by Lynne. Worst Sam-Pointless character to keep around after Greg left and had no personality even when he become older. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam436 Posted April 27, 2020 Report Share Posted April 27, 2020 Worst: Grant Mitchell - I couldn't stand the character. He seemed really arrogant and disrespectful challenging Don Fisher in those early days. Neville and Floss - I know they had their fans, but they got really repetitive after a while. In fact, I found them more annoying than anything else Karen Dean Matt Wilson Best: Steven Matheson (original stint) - he was by favourite of the original foster children and I think the most complex Ailsa Stewart - surprised no one has mentioned her yet, since she was a staple of the 1988-1996 era. Donald, Marilyn, Bobby, Morag - I know they've been mentioned above, but they deserve another shout out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skylover Posted April 27, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2020 I'd actually class Floss and Neville amongst the best characters. Sarah is another one of my favourites. Blake was pretty good too. Curtis is another favourite. I actually didn't like Selina that much looking back, or Chloe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
