If you could be any TV character who would you be?

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 🤣

Jan Francis as Penny in Just good friends. I soooo wanted to be her

Rose from keeping up appearances.
She always looks like she's having great fun.
And she had lovely legs.

Miss Marple! Lives in cute cottage in a little village, knows ALL the important people, eats a lot of cake, and, despite getting involved in various murderous plots has managed to live into old age.

I'll take those odds 😂

Heather in 5 Bedrooms. Her hair is amazing, she has the hottest man, the best lines and in real life she’s 60. Much older that me but with a body I’d have admired in my 20s. Bad wardrobe in the earlier series’s though, but that’s her work uniform (that she never flipping takes off)

Love her!

Pam from Gavin and Stacey. She was blissfully unaware of all the worlds problems and had a great husband and interesting friends, and a nice son albeit he married an annoying woman!

Sgtmajormummy · 13/09/2023 14:47

Anne Lister from Gentleman Jack. Minus the love affairs.
Charismatic, joyful, enterprising and a strong match for anyone male or female.

I have great admiration for Suranne Jones’s work and the roles she chooses.

Audrey fforbes-Hamilton from To The Manor Born :-)

Chloe from Don't Trust the B in Apartment 23... just for a month or so. She's "got the morals of a pirate" which means she's a terrible person but has the most outrageous, fun life in NYC 😁and she's bluddy gorgeous and smart which helps her get away with it all!

Lorelei from the Gilmore Girls. I find her a deeply annoying character, but she lives in a beautiful and very friendly community, has a seemingly successful but not too pressured career, a support network and a varied romantic life.

I love CJ, but could not cope with such a high pressure job, and Margot from the Good Life's domestic standards are way too high for me!

It's easier to be Harry Potter than Alicia Florick, that's for certain.

Having a husband who's in jail and cheated on you, still loves you and you're supposed to forgive him while still going to work and look after the children.

It's better to hunt Lord Voldemort. You've got Hermione and Mrs. Weasley.

Boss from Murder in Suburbia 'cos I love idea that Ashe fancies me something rotten!

She got to sleep with Angel AND Spike! 😆

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

She'd be my first choice too.

Goldflap · 18/09/2023 15:55

Lorelai or possibly Emily Gilmore from Gilmore Girls

RhannionKPSS · 18/09/2023 15:56

Samantha from Bewitched, and I can twitch my nose like her, 😀 or Miss Marple , who everyone underestimates, nothing is missed by those blue eyes.

I’m already kindred spirits with Liz Lemon, from 30 Rock.

I was born to Alexis Carrington/Colby as played by Joan Collins.

TheHappyCarrot · 18/09/2023 16:07

I always wanted to be Purdey from The New Avengers, cool and sexy (unlike me 😁).

Wishimaywishimight · 18/09/2023 16:10

Ally McBeal - legal work looked like a lot of fun, loved the music and the bar was just downstairs 😄

Plusque · 18/09/2023 16:26

I would like to be Sarah Lund I n The Killing. Badass and great knitwear.

I am in fact Roy Kent in Ted Lasso.

ClaribelLowLieth · 18/09/2023 16:40

Gidget. Mostly for the clothes.

PelvicFloorClenchReminder · 18/09/2023 16:51
