Interesting! I am just re-watching the Good Wife.

I find her very cold, and also she seemed to focus on the wrong things. Supporting her philandering husband rather than finding true love with Will!

but why do you like her!

Polly Prince!

Its so true, she should've left Peter's arse

But I think she stayed for the kids

Love her because she carries herself well

Second to Diane maybe, but i didnt like her with Kurt. He wasnt sexy enough imo 😄

Will 🥺😍

The free spirit? Did Ben Stiller rein her in at the end as well as she freed him?

Do you like lorelai gilmore?

Jean Paget. Someone described her as having grace under pressure. I wish I was more like that, I’m a flapper even in very mildly annoying circumstances. I should be more Jean.

Elizabeth Bennett. And Jane too

That's me! A free spirit with a touch of Monica from Friends! 😂 Yes! Reuben and Polly stayed together and Reuben embraced a riskier lifestyle! I think he said something like Polly made him feel "more alive and more sick than anything else" 😂 Typical Reuben.

I'm sure there are others but that one just came instantly to my mind.

I do like Lorelai Gilmore. Spookily I facially look quite similar to her but with a different hair colour!

CJ Craig on The West Wing streaming on Netflix. She plays the Press Secretary at the White House. Incredibly sharp, wise, witty, sexy, tender, loaded with integrity. Played to perfection by Allison Janney.

Wife of Bath - middle aged, own successful business, pretty rich, well dressed, enjoys sex (5 husbands🤣), travels a lot, not defined by children.

Sadly still quite unusual 700 years later!

Mary Richards (Mary Tyler Moore show).
