Can't stand him!!!

The moment he is on the screen, I just get this sudden feeling of absolute and complete loathing. Victor is the most insufferable, insensitive and self-absorbed creature I've ever had the misfortune to see on a tv screen! Why is someone like Sophie with him? What attracts her to him? When she speaks he completely switches off and starts to talk about what HE wants to talk about. He is only interested in what she wants to do if it suits him - ie: "I think you should spend more time with them!" <- he only says she should spend more time with the secretaries of Juliet because he wants her out of his hair! His hyperactive and over the top behaviour and "enthusiasm" completely overshadows Sophie, nothing matters to him except what matters to him - yes, I know that is semantically null, but you know what I mean! He seems possessive - if he is busy he just wants her out of his hair and often uses the "Oh I feel horrible!" to guilt her into thinking she is standing in the way of his happiness. There aren't enough words to describe how horrible I feel he is! UGHHHHHH!!!!!!!

Sometimes its better to be silent and thought a fool - than to speak and remove all doubt...

You do have to wonder why she would be into a guy like this. Much less fall in love with him.

Guys will often put on their best behavior to win over a chick, and then return to who he really is once he's got her.

The way this character is written though it's almost hard to believe he had it in himself to fake it so well up front to even appeal to her in the first place.
