Does anyone feel sorry for Rosie Webster?

So it looks pretty certain now that Rosie Webster's going to be ripped off by Luke "I always go back for the wabbit" Strong. Not only will he nick all her cash next week but she'll be dumped and publicly humiliated, no doubt. But does anyone feel sorry for our own Dozy Wobbler?

She was taken advantage of by one older man (Stape), kidnapped, then compensated, only to be taken advantage by another older man (Strong). Will she be compensated again? I think not.; 16 October 2009 at 08:45
Clare said...: Pfft not likely. I'm the same age as the character and i disagree with Yoork that she was taken advantage of, she knows exactly what she's doing. Well as much as her candyfloss brain'll let her. Only thing that made me feel sorry for her was the kidnapping.; 16 October 2009 at 09:29

Anonymous said...: One of the most annoying characters the show has seen in years. She needs to have something horrible happen to her to bring her back to earth. The actress does such a good job making people hate her.; 16 October 2009 at 13:57
Tracyluv said...: Not a bit of it, she didnt deserve that money anyway and she is so nasty to everyone, cant feel any sympathy for her at all! I feel sorry that Stape's grannie who probably worked hard all her life had her inheritance squandered by low lifes!; 16 October 2009 at 14:55
Anonymous said...: No, no, no --not sorry...Rosie was going to squandor the money away on "permanent" stuff like shoes anyway. Luke can steal the money and probably open up another factory somewhere...

Is she stupid? I'm not sure she's all that stupid -- sometimes she's portrayed as a ditz and other times she pretty savvy -- threatening to go to the "Tribunal" if Luke fired her...John Stape who taught her literature seemed to think she was university material and hoped her money was put to her education (unlike her own mother!)

Anyway, it's no fun to watch unless people like Rosie and Sal get her due --Oh ma! We're back to being poor! We're gonna have to sell the house! Oh no...not the house! What about our CONSERVATORY !!!

It's no fun when things don't change in the soaps...maybe now Theresa can go from poor tramp to rich curry entrepreneur and she can stick her nose up at Liz -- lowly barmaid/part owner!; 16 October 2009 at 16:22
