Since Bravo is re-running the "Santos/Vinick" episodes today, I just thought I'd comment and say I'm glad I didn't have to suffer through another season of her playing the new First Lady. Of all the many characters that have appeared on "The West Wing", Mrs. Santos was the least sympathetic, most unlikable person in the whole series...except for the assassins and kidnappers, of course.
She seemed incredibly selfish and oblivious to anyone's needs except for hers and her children's. Mrs. Santos seemed unable to contain her irritation that she had to share her husband with the country, though as a Congressman's wife, she certainly had to have known what she was in for, public service and all. All in all, a loathsome woman! She should have married an accountant, and spared the people this National Shrew.
If Teri intentionally played her as unlikable, all I can say is....good job!
