Favorite and Least Favorite Child

Who is your favorite and least favorite child of DS?


My Favorite: David, Sarah, Michael
Least Favorite: Alexander

Favorite   Sarah.  So sweet and innocent

Least favorite   Hallie Stokes.  I cringe (?) just thinking about her.

Favorite - Probably David. It doesn't hurt that Henesy was a really good actor. He always made me feel something for David.

Least Favorites - All of the Leviathan children and Hallie. By far. All of them were like nails on a chalkboard or an irritating song that you're forced to listen to over and over again.

Favorite:  David.  I find it endlessly entertaining to watch him infuriate all the adults at Collinwood, especially because he seems to be more intelligent that all of them.

Least favorite:  Alexanduh ("Mrs. Stah-dud...") and Hallie (who could easily star in Days of Whine and Neuroses)

Faves:  Amy (perceptive and clever child), David (I love how his character grows over the course of the show), and Michael (creepy adolescent)

Least Faves:  Sarah (yes, I know!  I just don't like her actress very much--it's painful hearing her speak)

Favorites: David and Amy, by far.

Leasr favorites: Hallie Stokes, nothing against the actress, the character was just kind of tacked on to me.

Favorite:
David, of course.

Least:
I've only made it to the end of 1897, but every other child actor I've seen on the show is nails on a chalk-board, as another cousin said. Was rule number one in child acting school "speak as loud as possible?"

Favorites: David, Sarah, Amy

Least Favorites: Michael, Alexander

David is an easy favorite.

I'll prepare myself for crucifixion; I've always liked Sarah about as much as Hallie Stokes.

In one of the DS Christmas round robin stories, I killed Hallie Stokes. And I enjoyed it. A lot.

When I was a kid in the 60s, I hated the way kids vaguely my age were portrayed on TV.    They all spoke like infants and had no thoughts.    Exceptions: David from DS (though they fouled him up sometimes), Bill Mumy, and the girl from Mary Tyler Moore and My World and Welcome To It.   Adults forget what being a kid is like.

Favorites: David, Sarah, Amy
Least Favorites: Michael, Alexander

I agree w/this.  Haven't *really* seen a lot of Hallie (although I've seen Carrie Stokes in 1840 and 1841 PT and don't recall that I hated Kathy Cody in those roles).  But we'll see how she is as Hallie when I get to 1970.

Well, as usual, I'll go against the grain and say my least favorite is David.  I didn't mind him too much until Quentin began haunting Collinwood, and I guess David was supposed to be "posessed", but to me he didn't act posessed at all, he just acted like an utterly intolerable brat. 

Most favorite would be the girl who was involved in that whole Rose Cottage thing.  I can't remember her name (probably the one everybody hates  )  I haven't seen that storyline in years, but I remember her being fairly likable.

Personally, they could have left all the children out of the show and I would have been one happy camper.

I'll be honest, I'm surprised I like David  (though I did get tired of how much he & Amy were featured during Quentin's haunting, and hated David & Hallie during the 1970 Gerard haunting), because in general, I'm not too fond of children in my television shows - especially if it's a baby plot. I'm very thankful there were no baby plots carried out on DS.

I liked Sarah because she was a ghost. I've always found child ghosts eerie.

Ah, but we do.  Are you forgetting baby Joseph?

You had to go and remind me. I had managed to forget the horrible memory. 

That's one reason why I couldn't tolerate the beginning of the Leviathans. At least he wasn't there long. But I hated all his incarnations afterward too.
