Emily from gilmore girl - such sharp wit
Erica from stranger things - doesn't take any shit

Leslie Knope. She gets shit done and likes everybody, is good at everything and permanently cheerful. Total opposite of me.

Liz from motherland!

The girl in my so called life (played by Clare Danes)

Blousey in Bugsy Malone

Kylie Minogues character in the delinquents

CJ Cregg because she is completely awesome.

Largatha (Vikings).

I agree!

When I was much younger I wanted to be Mrs Walton but having my own children cured that desire!

I'd quite like to be Miss Marple or any kick-ass female police detective or even Dr Nikki Alexander (if she swapped Jack for Harry).

Auntie Mabel from Come Outside.

UnNiddeRides · 27/04/2024 22:19

Marine Boy.

MillicentMargaretAmanda · 27/04/2024 22:23

I came on to see how long it would take for someone to post CJ Cregg :-D

FastnetLundyRockall · 27/04/2024 22:25

Moira Rose, Schitts Creek!

At one point it was Beverley Crusher, then Dana Scully, then probably CJ Cregg too! I also wanted to be Elizabeth Archer in the mid 90s as she and Nigel got together - 14 year old me thought it hugely romantic. I also wanted to be Miss Lemon, but with a more active role in helping Poirot solve cases.

These days it would be Harriet Vane, although Vera is probably more accurate.

PrettyFlyforaMaiTai · 27/04/2024 22:27

Bandit or Chilli from Bluey

Derrymum123 · 27/04/2024 22:28

Mrs Doyle from Father Ted.

AlwaysFoldingWashing · 27/04/2024 22:29

Mr Feeney from Boy Meets World, the wisdom ♥️

TwoLeftSocksWithHoles · 27/04/2024 22:32

Bill from the the Flowerpot Men.

Or was it Ben ?

Showing my age..

Peggy from Married With Children.

She cut Al down to size all the time and had such an amazing figure and her hair, wow.

I think I'm older now than she was in the show though. 🤣

My sister always wanted to be in Rod, Jane and Freddy from Rainbow (she also wanted to go on Jim'll Fix It...). I wanted to be Sabrina from Charlie's Angels, I had had clutch handbag and everything.

Noicant · 27/04/2024 22:51

She-ra, actually Xena warrior princess

SkiingIsHeaven · 27/04/2024 22:53

Cagney from Cagney and Lacey. She was just so cool and put together and knew what she wanted and had a canary yellow sports car and she kicked ass.

cassiatwenty · 27/04/2024 22:54

Effy from Skins. A bit of a wild card.

Cattenberg · 27/04/2024 22:58

I wish I was more like Lynette Schavo from Desperate Housewives. She wasn’t always “nice”, but she was so strong and never at a loss for words. Also, when an emergency forced her to take her baby to a job interview, she changed a nappy whilst giving a presentation, without breaking her stride.

CranfordScones · 27/04/2024 23:26

Whatever character Stephanie Beacham happened to be playing at the time.

Padfootnprongs · 27/04/2024 23:28

Captain Kathryn Janeway 🖖

I was going to say Cagney too!

Victor Meldrew. The funny side of him, anyway
