Favorite very brief characters

I am curious Buzz.....do you think Carolyn should have given Buzz another chance? A couple of friends of mine who are also into DS think she should have and I know what a big Buzz fan you are What's your opinion?

Oh DEFINATELY!  I even wrote a story about a second chance for the two of them.    He was one of the few REAL characters on DS, someone who was in touch w/the times.  Besides, he was funny as all get out and got some of the best one-liners on DS!  See below...

I admit I did get such a  big kick out of Buzz.....I loved it the way he and Carolyn put Jason in his place when [spoiler]Jason tried to bribe Buzz into dumping Carolyn.[/spoiler] 

... do you think Carolyn should have given Buzz another chance? ...

Oh DEFINATELY! ...

Buzz most certainly would have been a huge improvement over the man she did marry.

Very true!  He might have been crass and common, but at least he wasn't a cheap, insufferable pig!

Or a [spoiler]murderer - of Carolyn's father, no less.  [/spoiler]Buzz always struck me as the type of person who would only [spoiler]commit murder in self-defense, unlike Jeb, who certainly seemed to murder for the shear pleasure he derived from it.  [/spoiler]Buzz loved and enjoyed life too much to ever be so callous.

Suki Forbes for me.  I loved the way she put Nathan in his place.  Julianka was another good one - I really liked her, but her personality was so harsh in the short time we got to see her.  I was really hoping she would open up and we would get to know her better as the weeks went by, but alas, it wasn't to be. 

Honorable mention to Ezra Braithwait (or however you spell that).  That guy was a hoot. 

No votes for Carl's girlfriend Panzy Fay, huh?  I loved the utterly mortified look on Barney's face when she did her song and dance number

The exchange of looks between Barnabas and Beth afterward is a scream.    It's one of my favorite moments in 1897.

     I am surprised that King Johnny did not get more votes.  He can wear my golden earring anytime.

   By the way,  wasn't Buzz Hackett the son of the business man that Liz was going to sell property to because she needed the money.  This was brought up by Burke during an exchange with Elizabeth.  Buzz, the son of a classless nouveau riche business man.  Carolyn becomes Mrs. Buzz Hackett which would inject some cash into the Collins family bank account and put some pedigree in the Hackett clan.

i really enjoyed suki forbes,buffie harrington and hannah stokes.

even though i disliked the adam storyline as a whole i got a kick out of "leona eltridge" too.

and another vote for the lovely and stylish portia fitzsimmons.would have loved to see more of her.

How about if I throw Grandmamamamamama Edith's hat into the ring?  Although I loved Buffie (by the way, Midnite, where else were other TV sets shown? - I'm completely blank), Grandmamamamama was another hoot, even when she blew her line and called Quentin by his brother's name, and just ad-libbed her way out of it.  It just made her character seem more real.

It's been awhile since I watched the pre-Barn eps, but I believe Burke *did* do business w/a man named Hackett.  Probably just a coincidence, but then again, what a great idea for a fan fic, Buzz as the near-do-well son of a weathy business man!  

I should also mention that I rather enjoyed Bathia Mapes, blooper and all!  

How about that guy Tate [spoiler]created out of thin air, who never spoke and got shot almost immediately![/spoiler]What a character!

Hi, Gerard!

They say a picture is worth a thousand blah blah blah...

Excellent choice!  I've just started watching the 1897 storyline again and saw Ep. 705.  That's when Barnabas comes to meet grandmama and she recognizes him!  Oh what a delicious scene/episode.  Here's a few splendid shots:
