As the title suggests if you could be and live the life of any fictional TV character who would you be and why?

I think for me it would be Alicia Florick from the TV series The Good Wife. She is a very smart intelligent and capable woman and mother making her way in the world, I also love her apartment and her style. Even though I’m over 40 I think I aspire to be like her when I’m a grown up 🤣

Can we do films? As I still want to be Cher from Clueless.

Lillygolightly · 13/09/2023 10:43

@LusaBatoosa yes films count too!!

Yes to Cher from Clueless, imagine having such small worried and such a massive wardrobe!!!

Carrie Bradshaw for the clothes/hair/figure/career/friendships and just the fabulous backdrop of New York.

Diane Lockhart from The Good Wife/The Good Fight.

Smart, funny, successful, on the side of good, fantastic wardrobe, the love of a good (albeit Republican) man. She’s the grown-up I’d love to be!

Major Charles Emerson Winchester III from MASH - smart, brilliant surgeon, wicked practical joker, could hold his own against Hawkeye and BJ, was highly educated and knowledgeable and absolutely rolling in money.

I'd be Isobel Crawley from Downton Abbey. She has the life of it, swanning around scolding the doctor and fighting with old Lady Grantham.

Buffy! I always wanted to be blonde and go around fighting vampires her life looked so cool! Plus Spike was hot

id be the other one (can never remember her name but think it’s Barbara). The thought of such a simple (but tiring) life makes me smile!!!

Maddie Hayes in Moonlighting . That looked like a hoot.

Michaela in Manifest so that I can go out with both Jared and Zeke Grin.

Marcia Brady, for her groovy wardrobe and gracious attitude.
However, the character I resemble is Elaine from Seinfeld -- "big wall o' hair", loves a big salad, smart enough but often stuffs up at work. I even have an ex-boyfriend Jerry figure in my life.
