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 🤣

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!

Excellent choice! I always tell my DH I hope we are like Mick and Pam when our kids are grown up.

I think Rachel from Friends because…her hair 😩 wouldn’t want a Ross though ew. I’d runaway with the Chan Man!

Ma Larkin from The Darling Buds of May. She has such a good attitude and a nice life. She’s a hard worker but appreciated by everyone (and drinks beer at random times of the day)

I also love Missy Cooper but I’m not sure I’d want some of her relatives!

Olivia Newton John playing the muse Kira in the Xanadu film. Dancing with Gene Kelly, singing several epic songs written by both John Farrar (ex Shadow) and Jeff Lynne (ELO), one a duet with Cliff Richard, all within a story of her helping dreams come true. A real "feel good" film.

My first thought when I read the thread title was Teal from The Adventures of Abney and Teal. I am not sure what that says about me really! Grin

I think I’d like to be Lizzie in (1995’s) Pride & Prejudice. Clever, witty, lovely rural lifestyle, great relationship with her closest sister and aunts, loves the rest of her family. Gets to shag Mr. Darcy and live at Pembroke. Plus she had incredible skin from all the walking across fields.

Lady Grantham from Downton.

Probably Dr Joel Fleishman from Northern Exposure, because he got to live in a cool (pun intended) place, and everyone liked / respected him to some degree.

Veronica Mars. Witty, beautiful and a top notch PI

Snoeberry · 04/11/2023 00:13

Or Zaphod Beeblebrox from The Hitchhikers Guide because he lived in a cool place and everyone liked him.

Melinda Gordon from Ghost Whisperer but without the seeing dead people part. Run a little antique shop with my best friend, have a huge collection of beautiful swishy coats and Victorian nightgowns and married to a hunky fireman. Yes please.
