Who is your fave character and why?

dtsf · 06-23-2001, 10:57 PM

My favorite was Jodie. As a 15 year old I was coming to terms with being gay. Billy Crystal
didn't play Jodie as a stereotype, he made Jodie a whole person. He brought a warm, funny, sensative, dignified presence to the first openly gay character on TV. He made me and other gay teens realize we were not alone.

My favorite was Jodie, too-the most normal person on the show! Everyone else was crazy, dumb, or emotional. Billy Crystal brought a soft and subtle dignity to Jodie Dallas that is a joy to watch. He also had a hell of a way to deliver a line; some hilarious one-liners were his. One of my favorite moments in the series was in Episode 81 when Jodie is drunk and keeps falling off the bed. He made me laugh and cry; he was amazing.

I have always been a Bert fan. It always cracked me up everytime he saw Jodie and Carol's baby and he said "Bloo Bloo Bloo Grandpa" and he was making the moose antlers with his hands.

For me, it's Benson, followed closely by Burt Campbell. You could count on either of them to deliver the laughs (usually BIG laughs) whenever they were on the screen.

Jessia WAS my favorite and the show if you ask me. Corrine is my second favorite. She Mary and Jodie were the normal ones in the later years. First episodes Jodie had issues. I know he was gay but he really played it up and then he calmed down. He was wearing his mother's dress and wig during episode 2.

favorite male characters:
I liked most of the male characters in Soap!
Female:
Elaine and Mary. All the rest were so "stereotype" females, like sort of stupid, naive, second to the husband, etc.

Jodie 1st - Burt 2nd!

Sean Snow · 09-14-2002, 07:40 AM

My favorites are Jessica Tate, Jodie Dallas, and Benson. Jessica is just so funny with the way she acts

Impressions · 09-14-2002, 01:53 PM

I would have to say Jessica Tate she can be so ridiculous at times but that represents her and shapes her personality.

Moonlight Lady · 09-15-2002, 11:06 AM

Female: Jessica

Male: The Major.

monicad1 · 10-16-2002, 11:25 PM

I loved Burt, Bob (aside from Chuck), Benson, The Major, and Elaine. Jessica was good, too, but sometimes she got on my nerves, although I appreciate her outlook on life.
