Who would you CHOOSE to be?


If you could pick any character in the series, complete with their life, personality, etc. Which one would you choose to be?

I would probably want to be Sarah...or Janet...or Hetty.

Sara. (My favorite, always. ^_^) (Actually Sarah Polley was my favorite
child actress when she was a child. ^_^ I also liked her as Ramona [books
were by Beverly Cleary, series was on TV shortly before Avonlea started].)

Other favorites include Cecily, Felicity, Janet, Olivia, and even Hetty
(she had spirit, even if it was sort of a weird spirit! ^_~). And Peg Bowen
(also spirited, albeit weirdly ^_~).

If I could pick anyone's life to move into, besides Sara's...
Probably Janet. ^_^ (The mother^_^ of the family^_^ and all that. ^_~)
(I=^__^= tend to be motherly^_^. =^__^=)

Kit =^__^= (the mother=^__^= cat=^__^=? ^_~)

(Oh, come on, isn't anyone else going to answer??? ^_~)

(By the way I didn't even know that IMDb HAD any Avonlea boards...
I just followed a link from Sarah Polley's biography page on IMDb
a little while ago! ^_^)

I always loved Cecily, especially in the books.

I loved this show growing up and if I had to choose once character to be, it would Felicity because she grew the most during the series run...but I haven't watched the show in ages now and when I realized it was on Hallmark, it was too late and taken off. I don't know if I get odyssey though BUT I am getting all 5 seasons on DVD in a month, so whoever I want to be might change... :)

PS your question wasn't boring at all! :o)

I would want to be like Olivia. Always smiling and bubbly. =) Miss Stacy was always that way too. I wish I could be like that!

Dignity...Always Dignity...

I'd like to be Olivia because she was always so happy, and because she had a nice life, growing up with Alec for a brother, writing for the paper and eventually becoming a wife and mother.

I'd like to be Sarah because she reminds me of me, and because she was level-headed while still being romantic and dreamy-eyed.

I'd like to be Janet because she married Alec, a great husband, and lived in a comfortable house and raised 3 good children and was content with her life.

I'd like to be Hetty because she was independant, chose to do her own thing, became a famous writer, and lived in Rose Cottage.

I'd like to be Felicity because she got Gus!

For me this is the easiest question you could have asked. That would be Cecily. I identified with her so much, I was/am quiet, shy and the peacekeeper in the family.

"Beauty......It's a beast."

Aunt Hetty.
She seemed rigid and stern, but you know that when she went out with friends, all hell broke loose and she let her hair down... what a wild woman.

reply

Definitely Felicity.

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make.

reply

Felicity, duh. Sarah was too... I dunno... plfft :/

reply

I'd say I'm an awful lot like Gus. I would be very happy living in a lighthouse, or "go where I pleases". Although I dont think I would have the patience to deal with Felicity. I wouldn't want a girl who thought they could do better than me, although in the end Felicity may have been a different person.
I really didn't like Janet though. She wasn't very intellegent, and yet she would be very opinionated at times. I'm not saying she was wrong, just kinda boring. I half wanted Alec to run off with Evelyn.
