Least and most likeable characters.

I have tried so hard to like this character. I have been rewatching season one and I had forgotten how she selfishly barreled into abby''s home and life like a wrecking ball.
She is emotionally abusive to everyone around her under the excuse of being Puerto Rican, as though all PR people are this awful to the world. She replaced Lyla, who I also found abusive and mean but she was at least doing it in her own house and was no where near as awful to her kids as jo is to her daughter. The thing that sucks about this is she has funny moments and sharp wit. I wish the writers would develop more of these traits and less of the vinegar tongued monster. Maybe her new partner can bring that out?
I like Abby half the time, feel like she spends a lot of time in a pitty party when she has had a pretty sweet existence. I was glad when her editor at she she told her as much. I do hope that character stays on the show Bc she is great. But back to Abby in the last season, she really dropped the ball a few times her kids needed her.
The show started with phoebe coming across as pretty shallow, living a very kept life and thinking of nothing beyond partying and sex. To me that character really evolved into mostly likeable when she started volunteering and met Marco and confronted her past with corie. I really hope his character stays on the show with or without phoebe. Her marriage with DJ has great potential so I hope the writers handle with care.
Phoebe has come up in ranks but I find Delia most genuine to who she is. She has faults but she is aware of them and honest about what she can give and who she is. She did some hurtful things to Gordon, who I did kinda like, but that could have been avoidable if he hadn't pushed her.
I wish max and ford were featured more on the show Bc I find both their characters very likeable.
Loved will but I kinda like jake with Abby. That makes sense to me. I really like jake too. Didn't at first but he has grown on me.
Same with becca. She grew into the most responsible people in the show.

The producers and writers have wasted Alanna Ubach's comedy chops and continue to write horrible storylines and make her character not funny but miserable! JG left the show because she had creative differences with Marti Nixon or got fired by Marti because they didn't get along and Alanna was brought in as another short, ballsy friend of Abby's. This show is supposed to be female centric and is not written well or original enough to peak my interest in continuing to watch it anymore. It had potential season one and hoped it would get better. It for some reason it doesn't work which is sad.
