Does anyone like the character Elizabeth?

[stuart_fanning]

I am rewatching the first three seasons of The Onedin Line again and
it has reminded me of how much I dislike Elizabeth. Does anyone
actually like the character and can suggest any redeeming qualities?

I like her!

 

She is a little bit spoilt
being the youngest in the family and the only daughter.

But she is a very brave
young Victorian woman having her own will wanting more of life than just the
security of marriage and  her brains works as well as James's.

 

The life would be quite
dull in Liverpoll without Elisabeth, her explosions are
refreshing!!!

Hi,

 

I'm a huge fan of Elizabeth and of course Jessica
Benton.

Yes, Elizabeth has made mistakes, but I like
her best of all characters and admire her for making a strong statement that
woman can be just as succesful as men (or even more so). Let's face it, the
series need characters like James and Elizabeth. I simply love watching them
together when they are having a fight, but there are moments when you can see
they care for other people, perhaps a bit scared to show it. She will
always be my no.1 character and James a close second.

Albert and Emma my least favourite.

 

regards,

 

Carin

she has lots of redeeming qualities, she is tough, intelligent (it
was unusaul – soem might say a litlte unrealistic- for a woman to be
running a business like that)… she is a loving mother, she is a
kindly employer (by Victorian standards), she is a good sister to
James – adn a good friend to Anne and Letty… and she is good fun as
well, and likes to enjoy life.

Elizabeth was one of my favourite characters.  She had wonderful strength of mind for a woman of the times and wasn't content with sitting at home.  As I remember she had as good a business brain as James and the competitiveness between them was thoroughly enjoying to watch.  Being of the fairer sex myself I loved how Elizabeth would not be told what she must do by anybody, particularly a man.  She was great.

Do you Yahoo!?

Yahoo! Search presents – Jib Jab's 'Second Term'

[liamegan2000]

In episode 3 – "Other Points Of The
Compass".

 

Elizabeth (Jessica Benton) was to accompany
Daniel Fogerty to dinner (Michael Billington, my other favourite actor and
character in the series, played the role of Fogarty to perfection.
Michael must be one of the most underrated talents in the acting world). She was
to be introduced to meet his boss Thomas Callon (Edward Chapman) as
Daniel's intended wife.

 

The scene is one of the more memorable, her mood
changing and Daniel nearly persuades her, then she throw a tantrum and he ends
up going to the appointment on his own.

 

Classic series, classic story, and a class
act!

 

Bill.
