A character that was not needed-AT ALL - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Hilary was unfunny, ditzie, shallow, jobless, manless, materialisic, and just a waste of space on the set. She added nothing to the show. Carlton, Will and Ashley were fine, Jeffery was the man, along with Uncle Phil. Vivian was unfunny also but not as weird as Hilary. Who agrees. And if don't explain why.

I completely disagree for many reasons. The biggest reason of all being that the show was set in Bel-Air. Hillary, more than any of the other Banks children, was a product of being raised in that snobby, materialistic culture, and she was a good representation of the spoiled little rich girl who has her rich father wrapped around her pinky finger. I thought Hillary was a great character. Don't bash me for my opinions, because I'm not bashing you. This is just my opinion.

She was the only character that didn't generate laughs. Very Whinnie and Immature and put the A in Annoying.

Hilary is my 3rd favorite next to Carlton&Will and I wish Will&Hilary got into more trouble with each other because the episodes where they had to rely on each other were pretty funny... especially the one where Will sings to Phillip and dance at the end of a episode.They weren't as funny compared to Will&Carlton but I enjoyed the episodes. If there was one that wasn't needed it would be Ashley..... I just found her annoying especially when she whines to Phillip about the problems she causes.Nothing she did was ever funny..

I agree, GeorgiaBoyJeff! Ashley was ok, but of all the characters on the show, maybe with the exception of Vivian in the later years, she didn't generate many laughs from me. But, it was kind of nice to see a Banks child that was somewhat normal!

LOL, so if they are beautiful, they aren't annoying? Cool. LOL, just playing.

I liked Hilary during the few seasons and didn't think she was a waste at all, but for some reason, she started bugging me after season 3 or 4. It was about the time her looks changed (did she get some massive work done on her?), that I thought she became annoying. I guess she didn't exactly change, because she remained the stuck-up, spoiled brat that she started out as, but it wasn't working for me after a while. I started to really dislike her. When she got that stupid-a** talk show, then she became a waste. I hated that time.

Hilary was just Dingy and never ever ever made me laugh. Ashely really didn't make me laugh but she was CANDY FOR THE EYE so it was ok.LOL

I definitely agree with flutterby01 and all who said she should have been included in the show. I think so too!

I would have preferred to see more of Geoffery than Hilary

I thought the first Vivian was funny. Janet Hubert-Whitten played her with heart and soul. Some of her comments and attitude was comical to watch especially the episodes with her sisters. I thought Daphne Maxwell Reid was unfunny as the second Vivian. They could had done without her. If the show could not had worked out the issues with Janet then they should had killed Vivian off rather than replacing her. The difference in the two actresses that played her was different and the character changed when Daphne got into the picture. That was when I stopped watching the show.

Hillary wasn't very funny at all.... but she was needed to make other characters funnier.

Geoffery (I pretty sure it's with a G) was at his funniest with Hillary.

Ashely
Vivian

But he was a Riot around

Uncle Phil
Will
Hilary
Carlton

Exactly. Hillary also made Uncle Phil more funny. She added something to the show, without being funny herself.
