Default More examples of Sophia being mean, evil, cruel or ignorant

1. Making fun of Blanche's overweight daughter, Becky. Sophia asks if she models car covers.

2. In the "Sick & Tired" episode, Sophia is extremely ignorant when she stereotypes Dorothy's Chinese doctor over and over again.

3. Lying to and causing major troubles with neighbors Barbara & Carol Weston so they would argue and she could satisfy some ridiculous curse.


Those are just a few more examples of why I despise Sophia.

Here's a few more reasons to despise the "raisin in sneakers" or "deceitful little sea monkey."

Convincing the dim-witted Rose that her dead husband's spirit was communicating through her body.

In the episode where Sophia is losing her memories, she travels back to Brooklyn with Dorothy to visit their old apartment. When a Hispanic man opens the door and says "Buenos Dios" Sophia responds with "OH GOD." Dorothy immediately puts her hand over Sophia's mouth.

I could go on and on about why I loathe Sophia.

LOL. You better be careful…or she’ll give you the evil eye.

(She certainly was a feisty old cuss)

She was definitely not innocent, but she was no devil incarnate.

I heard she had a hot and torrid affair with Don Corleone in the 20s and Carmella almost put a hit on her! LOL

Actually I wasn’t mad at Sophia in this episode at all. It was quite hilarious to see Rose act like a stupid jackass.

Just curious, do you prefer earlier season Sophia over later season Sophia or do you have a problem with the character regardless?

Could you imagine having a mother like her? I wouldn’t know what to do with her.

She was a terrible mother to Dorothy... always making fun of her, lying to her as a child and as an adult, favoring Gloria, dumping Phil and his family all because his wife's dowry check bounced. Sophia was just a horrible person, not evil but horrible, cruel, selfish, ignorant and mean, mean, mean.

Who knows…maybe her parents did similar things to her and she took it out on her kids. Or maybe Salvador was beating her and forcing her to be the horrible, cruel, selfish, ignorant, and mean woman she was. I guess we’ll never know.

So were there NO Sophia moments that you found at least a little funny?

Only one that I can think of... it's when Rose is talking about her large breasts and how she developed early and she says: "You wouldn't believe how many people think I'm dumb just because I'm built this way." And Sophia says: "Rose, you don't give yourself enough credit. I know people who think your dumb over the phone."

That was a funny one.

I assume you weren’t fond of the moment when Sophia insulted Ham’s (Blanche’s overweight old lover) weight or whenever Sophia would basically call Blanche a big slut.

Yeah, she said Ham was short for Ham and potatoes. I never thought she was funny except for that Rose moment I mentioned. My favorite was always Dorothy. I did think Blanche was a bit trampy but I did like her. Rose, I found to be mind numbingly dumb but nice and I despised Sophia. So I only really liked two of them. Dorothy and Blanche. Who was your favorite?
