Hey folks! I'm going to post this thread on this board, because i know i won't get too terribly bashed for it amongst you guys! lolol. Especially over at the Casino, Babe is getting bashed from every direction for every little thing she does. Well, quite frankly, I don't really see how she is "taking over the show". Yes, the show sucks right now, but I don't really see how she is taking over the show as drastically as some people are making her out to be. I thought her scenes with Bianca today were great. I loved her meltdown the other day when she destoryed the tape. I don't think she "cured the Cambias curse" during a 10 minute conversation with Zack. i don't think every character is propping her. I've always been an open Babe fan, and i always will be. I just think she's a great character to watch. Sure she makes horrible decisions, sure she can be annoying at times, but i just love watching what makes her tick, and how everyone in town reacts to the things she does. Plus, i still love Alexa and her performances, no matter how much of a pain she allegedly might be in terms of wanting to work with Justin. The end.

I dont hate her. I think she is overexposed (too much airtime) and am tired of her being near tears. There is a lot of potential for the character, but mostly unrealized

(((Flail)))
I don't think she's taking over the show, but I do think they intentionally write her into everyone's storyline while at the same time putting other decent characters/actors on the BB. (i.e. Erin, Simone, etc.)
I also think the character itself is a very, very hypocritical character. She rants and raves about things that other people do that make them so horrible when most of the time she has done something similar or worse herself. She also expects people to love her in spite of the fact that she brings great heartache onto their families. Over and over again.
I think what irritates me is that the writers are doing this and all the while assuming that we should sympathize with the character and feel sorry for her and root for her.
But I don't hate her. I just wish they would cut down the Babe-time and amp up some of the other characters as well. I think it would make the show more well-rounded.

haha!! aww soaper!
I do agree that she is on too much. She doesn't need to be involved in every story, but i enjoy seeing her in other orbits. I do agree they need to tone it down some, and give some other people stories as well, rather than killing them off!

It's certain things that Babe does that grates on me. I don't HATE her...I'm really just indifferent to her. I do think she's over-exposed...but I've never really seen every character propping her. I think certain characters prop her with abandon...but that's neither here nor there. I just think she should have less airtime, in favor of other people. ETA: I am sick of her mother. I HATE her. She's useless.

I'll say that Alexa is a promising young actress with a great deal of innate talent. However the character of Babe has been written for so unevenly that unless...nope I don't know how they can remedy what they have done to her. TPTB only use Babe to make her cry, to make her make someone else mad with anger, to make someone else mad with jealousy or to emotionally destroy someone. If Babe makes anyone happy the happiness is just a brief calm before a storm. It's so very old already and as bad as that is it isn't as annoying as watching TPTB compromise the integrity of other characters in their lame attempts to elevate her.

alexa does have talent. her role is poorly written IMO. and as everyone agrees she has waaay too much screen time. as an actress i like her - just hate the character!!!!
in alexa's defense (wow - did i say that) justin cleared up the whole working together thing. they don't want to be romantically involved but more bantering and hate since she is jr's wife and she used to be with him. that i could handle. maybe bring out a character for jamie - justin has good comedic timing etc. they need to use what the actor has instead of letting him be -well - jamie!!!
and kwak?? hmmm, maybe life will be good and the serial killer will get her
