did anybody hate Eleanor?

Eleanor is a strong forceful character, the sort of person you want as a friend.

It's easy to like (or 'not dislike') the characters in Boston Legal, as it is a bit of an easy-going comedy-type drama - and hilarious it was too!

The Practice confronts things and YOU (the watcher) as it is high drama, so inevitably you will love and hate these dramatic characters in a dramatic series.

I know BL is a sequel (of sorts) but the two shows are really very different from eachother.

Yeah. Absolutely right. She was also jealous of Lindsey's success. Eleanor looked like a sad puppy, fat sad puppy and is one I would not want to be associated with. She is a loser. After Bobby and Lindsey ;left, the firm were on the path to inevitable destruction.

A reality show? Oh, God, I hope not.




Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.

Would you prefer having a show where every single character is likable and everybody got along with each other and shared similar views? Or would you like a TV show with a few characters who are unlikable and who do bring conflict and opposing opinions? I prefer conflict. It makes for much more interesting television.

As much as you hated Lucy, you must have enjoyed the episode where the landlord was videotaping her in the shower, and we got to see her bare ass, right? I certainly did!

I never hated her tho she was kind of a hard ass sometimes and she is not an attractive female at all but she was a good lawyer and she was compassionate and driven about her work.

I have been watching this taking in multiple episodes at a time and am now up to series five episode 8.

I found myself disliking Eleanor very early on and that dislike has increased. If she is representing certain frustrations of the overly large women than she if that is not her underlying persona the awards are indeed due for such an excellent portrayal of someone she is not.

She did lead us in to an early view of not liking criticism. She has given us many glimpses of the attitude that the younger pretty sexual Lindsay/Kelli could steal the direction of the firm. The fact that Linsday IS going to be seen as more attractive is one thing but the writers have also shown that this young Lady is indeed the bees knees as a lawyer. She doesn't really need to be in a dead end somewhat shady firm. My impression is that her feelings for Booby outweigh the desires to be the richest lawyer in town.

The subject of this post has shown that her rejection of the blind date character and what might be seen as a disastrous date did not affect her defence of that man. That is about the only plus mark I can give.

I saw a soft side of her when she came to the other fatty in the firm to assist him in gaining partnership. Yeah really soft and warm side. That helped me in my continuance of viewing her as disturbed manipulative individual. Always looking for acceptance. She is so typical of the character/ real person who asks how their rear end looks in clothing waiting the lying compliment and woe betide the truthful answer.

Camryn Manheim in another role may have excited me regarding character portrayal. The character for me has no likable traits on display. While she has the build of /Bull and the mouth of pure hate at times [yes i know she is a sad lonely unattractive for the most part woman]she couldn't even back this up when attacked across the very table by a very tiny Lindsay. The writers couldnt even give us a better look at Kelli in full flight.

Eleanors character is living out her hatred for the world in general by her claim to be upholding the principles of a LAW system which I have to laugh at and hope it never arrives on our British shores in the format I am seeing rolled out in this series. I never saw those methods rolled out in the Perry Mason type shows but the implication is that Perry Mason never defended a guilty person. The Law is an ass when we view some of these story lines.

I have not warmed to the Character Bobby but then the actor Dylan McDermott who I have viewed recently on the series American Horror did not endear me. Maybe his role is not to be seen as one you can sympathize with.

I certainly would not trust him to sleep in the same bed as Lindsay and Helen especially if they had just been having a wet tee shirt fight.

I have warmed to Jimmy so fat is not my problem and he has displayed insecurities. Lindsay I like because I just fell in a state of unrequited love for Foster [lie to me ] The only reason i started watching this was to see the younger Kelli growing up. I can say that she may not be able to do a great varieties of character as she is so similar in movements to Foster.

I am NOT annoyed By Lucy who of course would be sacked by a serious Law firm, but as you must appreciate this is a fictional one.

Eugene while adopting the defend at all costs role show us always that he has internal demons and his underlying distrust of law enforcement is often on his sleeve.

I have enjoyed Rebecca's character progression. The only problem is that her sudden passing the bar came as a complete surprise to everyone yet our annoying Lucy managed to work out something rather easily with the pregnancy thing which shows that Eleanor doesn't even have a HOME address to take potential Wierdo lovers back to. IS ELEANOR actually a VIRGIN. Is this going to be a revelation when she delivers.

Unfortunately the previous post has given me a little clue as to future events but that is not a problem as I have been playing out potentials in my mind and that fact that Eleanor has been in all the episodes shows me that unless Bobby Ewing has just stepped out of the shower during the last episode and is going to Boston to blow up a law firm nothing much is going to happen to this lady.

I have enjoyed and i am perhaps a little sick the character relationship of Lindsay and Helen. The screen views would make you think that they have a very deep mostly trusting relationship. I am very fond of the Helen legal character who gives a genuine sympathetic face to the prosecution. While she is not my ideal in my sort of woman as she is perhaps a little toooo slim she has appealed as a character also with internal demons. Bobby has not appreciated her unless she has agreed with him and his character shouts and stomps around far too much. I also have a little problem with Bobby having friends [he has to defend]in high places when his rise would not in my opinion have taken him to any of those lofty places to become friends with them . I am waiting to find the eventual outcome of the man whose wife gassed herself in the garage. And how he defends the murder he witnessed. I had thought that Eleanor's non boy friend might have been the father of her child causing a problem down the road. I even thought that the view of him in the nuns costume would have been shown to be no more suspicious that the Judges Party costume. I can also see that he has taken the rejection thing very far and may even be a serial killer. But for the life of me I don't see why he has not killed Eleanor by now. Nor why he did injure Lindsay. BTW what organs were affected in Lindsays incident. Obviously no question of motherly organs affected or will that cause a problem when giving birth. I predict that Eleanor will require the whole legal team to be involved with her efforts.

She had better get some serious cases under her belt to cope with the expenses. The hours she works will reduce methinks so less income unless having had the child she farms it out 22 hours a day so she does not have to worry about killing the crying annoying little ********************.

Eleanor is a complete turn off but I am liking Jimmy, Helen and loving, I know it's wrong, Lindsay.

Camryn Manheim I would need to see in some other show as a different sort of character but I am not going hunting at present.

It seemed that Eleanor always wore clothes that hid her huge breasts,,I think she was a J cup...but on other shows she has no problem showing them off.
