Rosie Webster is my new favourite character

Believe it or not, I am enjoying Rosie Webster a lot lately. That's something I never thought I'd say out loud. I'm not sure if it's the writing that's better or Helen Flanagan's deliver that's spot on or a combination of both but Rosie is turning into a cracking character these days. Still vain and shallow, of course, but a lot less annoying. Read more about it over on t'other blog here.

Dolly Tubb said...: I so agree with you, Tvor and Chewy! I think part of it is that Helen Flanagan has matured a lot and can now 'see' Rosie for what she is. I always felt she was a bit out of her depth a few years ago when Rosie was changing from Goth to Trollop, especially in the Stape kidnap stories (and I think the directors didn't help there). But now she is such a wonderful fluffy airhead and has some great comedy moments, yet is really lovely with Sophie and a proper Big Sis. Well done Helen!; 4 February 2011 at 16:41

Kate said...: I agree as well. She's one of the only characters making me laugh these days!; 4 February 2011 at 17:37
Rachel said...: I thought the point of her character was that she was quite intelligent but she's been swayed by the idea of the model\WAG lifestyle, so she acts more stupidly than she actually is.; 4 February 2011 at 17:44
Apple Cobbler said...: Just laughed my head off at Rosie taking Jack to the "mother and baby" photoshoot audition but bringing back a baby girl by accident! LOL! Love Rosie, really do.; 4 February 2011 at 20:06
Anonymous said...: Rosie's hilarious, she's really grown on me recently. Helen Flanagan isn't the best actress in the world, but she plays Rosie perfectly. I love Rosie's relationship with Jason too, they have a fun chemistry.; 4 February 2011 at 22:17

abbyk said...: Rosie has been great lately, although I wish they had given the screw one or two more turns tonight with the baby mix up; it could have been a real Lucy & Ethel moment. Instead, we got whining on mommy's shoulder and stealing attention from Sophie, again; total mood killer.

Sally gets line of the week, maybe year, with that bit about knocking her dysfunctional family off the front page.; 4 February 2011 at 23:59
Frosty the Snowman said...: She is so slappable but she is represents most of the girls of her age these days - totally selfish, vain and self obsessed.; 5 February 2011 at 09:13
Anonymous said...: I also agree, an episode a couple of weeks ago, when sally and kevin were arguing and the estate agent was there... she goes "do i know you, do you have a brother" Classic line.; 5 February 2011 at 17:02
