Who do you dislike the most?
« on: November 04, 2002, 07:48:08 PM »
I (of course) was watching DS today, and there was Dirk Wilkins.  And, you know, I dislike him very, very much.  But, it had occured to me, that not to long ago, I also disliked Burke Devlin.  But for different reasons.

Burke Devlin.  He just thinks that he has to know everything.  Bargeing into someone house, demanding to know whats going on here, and then, telling the person that he will be back.  I like to see him do that in my house.  I don't have a gun, but I would get one (probably at Walmart), and shoot Burke Devlin with it. [uzi]     Rapture. [spin]



Dirk Wilkins aka Peter Bradford and Jeff Clark.  I just don't like him.  He maules the female and yells, and I mean really yells, at the men.  I mean even his sister, who had seen Chris Jennings turn into a werewolf, gets this mauling from him.  And, guess what?, she can't even talk or walk.   So she has to sit there and take it.  Men on the other hand, ya gotta feel sorry for them.  He yells at them so much, you would think their ears was going to bleed.  That might be okay, at least that wouldn't hear him anymore.  He looks like he's going to fight everybody.  Who for the love of God, hired him?

Dirk Wilkins is just, well...well...Dirk irks!  What else can I say?  Of all of Roger Davis' characters, to me this one is the least likeable.

Hallie Stokes is the most annoying character as far as I'm concerned. I guess it's that whining voice. She really gets on my nerves.  [kaiokn]

Dirk Wilkins wound up being the only Roger Davis character that I DO like.  I think he's a hoot, especially after...

R


he becomes a vampire.  After the angry, paranoid, frustrated, scared, stuffy, and/or arrogant nature of his other characters, I've always thought that the over-the-top hyperanimated silliness of Dirk was a refreshing turn.  There's one scene in the drawing room where he's carrying on and taunting someone (I've forgotten, but I think it might have been Judith)...his eyes are bulged out and he's got this crazed look on his face, and then suddenly he howls -- awwwoooohhhhh!!!! -- in a high-pitched tone, like he's baying at the moon...it's a riot. :)

Cheers,

Linda

Rachel Drummond is so stupid and insipid that she makes my teeth grind.

I agree with Linda, I think Dirk is a hoot!  He is the only Roger Davis character I find remotely watchable.  Though I think Diana Millay came close to slapping him a couple of times in their scenes together ...

According to Mr. Davis himself, as reported in one of the MPI DS behind the scenes videos (it might have been the 25th anniversary or the 30th anniversary one I'm not sure), Dan Curtis was very fond of RD and sort of kept him around as a matinee idol type on the series.  Given the source, I've always taken these stories with a grain of salt.  Generally, if a performer got good fan mail, they were brought back.  It could be that Davis had something of a following in illo tempore.  He does get profiled a fair amount in 16 and the other magazines, as do Don Briscoe, Chris Pennock, and Mike Stroka. Of course coverage for these guys is far outstripped by the publicity Jonathan Frid and David Selby received.

Whew, a toughie. Anthony George's Burke is just puky. Roger Davis playing any role is an assault on your senses. His acting range is whine-rage. BUT, the worst irritant to me is Adam! I don't blame Robert Rodan, except for playing the petulant brat child role TOO well. I wish he had been able to have a different role, I think he would have been good. But Adam makes me want to break the tv set.

I'm split 50/50 between Hallie Stokes (please someone put HER out of MY misery!) and the 'pukey' Anthony George as Burke Devlin. He looks like he'd have bad breath. :(

Amanda Harris, mewling, hoary eyed slut.  She is opportunistic, she has stupid hair, she thought that ugly broach was gorgeous, she whines, she tries to sashay but just ends up looking like a 50 cent whore at the end of a 10 buck evening.

And she sucks.

The character Angelique. I totally and unequivocally despise her. Her antics in 1795 are unredeemable and in 1840 she got what she deserved.

SPOILER: I only wish they would have had Barnabas pull the trigger.
