Default Andy and Pippa

Is it just me, or did these characters really get on your nerves? They took away too much air time from the rest of the cast who I want to see. The show is supposed to revolve around the four girls and they just brought in these random extras that I could not stand. I want to watch the four girls who are GREAT actresses and funny. Not the fillers. Beverly Ann kinda annoyed me too as I mentioned in a previous thread. What are your all's thoughts on this?

Cool

I actually enjoyed these two characters. I think the writers did too. I think they were running out of stories to tell about the regular characters and enjoyed having new characters to write about.

I liked Andy a lot. Pippa...not so much! The storylines about them didn't bother me though because they were just supporting characters and their stories were never the main focus of the episode anyway.

I thought both characters were superfluous, but that's just my opinion.

I just didnt think that they were that good. I wanted them to focus on the 4 girls as much as possible cuz thats all I care about seeing. Andy and Pippa (Pippa especially) werent very good in my opinion.

Seems I am alone in my appreciation of these characters. Thats alright . My opinion wasn't exactly objective anyway since I had a crush on Pippa!

I really like Andy. Of all the characters on the series, he was the closest to my age. Also, Andy was a great deal like me. I like Pippa too, I loved her Aussie slang terms.

I liked Andy a lot. He was the same age as I was when I started watching the show and I liked that he was the little brother figure to the girls, so to speak . Pippa, on the other hand, I could not stand. It seemed to me that they were reaching for storylines at that point anyway and on top of all of that, they were trying too hard to include her in with the four girls and it wasn't working. Plus the Aussie slang became not funny after awhile.

She was not! Pippa just didn't get much screen time, as the show ended before that happened.
