Lexie Vs Katrina!

I always preferred Lexie. I started watching in the middle of series 3, so I didn't know much about Katrina, but then when I went back and watched the first few series, I liked the idea of Archie and Katrina (maybe it's just based on all the tension of unrequieted love). I still have to say Lexie though, she's just awesome.

And I totally agree, I don't understand why they made Katrina such a bitch in the episode, it didn't seem to fit.

Your body is your temple, but it's also your dance hall and bowling alley

Look, being completely objective -- and female -- I have to say I never actually thought either one of the two women were all that attractive. I never thought either one of them had chemistry with Archie either. That could be Archie's fault. He just never convinced me he was in love with either woman.

In fact, Susan Hampshire is the most attractive woman on the show, technically. But to get down to it, the MEN! Meine gute! Fergal especially, but also Paul. Holey moley. Those two were hot, hot, hot. I can see how this works: ladies can be plain janes and still get the eye-popping dudes. If I weren't married, I'd be headed for Glenbogle.

Katrina hands down, the writers invested 2 whole seasons to her and archies trying to get together and tossed her off in one shot, and they did it in the worst way possible. Plus, i think Lorraine is just gorgeous, dawn is nothing to wince at in any way, but Lorraine always seemed to light up the scenes she was in weather dressed up or in scruffy clothes. Plus the way they put Archie/lexie together so quick seemed forced at best. But then when the characters started to leave the show lost its luster, and the magic never came back with different characters(the connection and stories just werent there.

Lexie all the way because I think Katrina is

a) Not particularly nice
b) not trustworthy
c) I can't believe she went for Fergal over our wee Arch!!!!!!!!!!!

I didn't really like Katrina, she kind of got on my nerves. I loved Lexie's character though, she is funny and much more likeable in my opinion.

I've just finished re-watching the first three series, having not watched them for a couple of years. I also didn't see the first series or most of the second.

So, that said, I just want to say that Lexie is a troll. What a horrible, self-righteous, mean cow.

All through the first three series, it's hinted at that she really, really likes Archie. Yet, when he needed support the most, she was the frontrunner in the "let's stick it Archie" stakes. She was the loudest, meanest, most unsupportive sow. And she only changed her tune when she was proven wrong. And then it was all ok.

I know this is only a show and that things are embellished for entertainment purposes, but seriously people, if you had a friend who abused you like that, would you continue to be friends with them??

She was shocking! And the worst was when A&L were to be married right after Hectors funeral. Archie is obviously struggling with his guilt and his grief and would probably have loved the support of his soon-to-be wife. And what does she do?? Chucks a tanty at him because he's going through a bad patch & not thinking straight, then up & leaves him when he needs her most. And he's the one who's got to grovel back to her.

Man, I'd have let her go (if I were a bloke that is!).

Lexie generally only ever showed compassion and support for Archie after she'd been proven to be out of line.

So whilst Katrina was irritating and irksome, I think I would have preferred her.
