Oh, Rosemary

Couldn't agree with you more! I am usually very tempted to fast forward through her scenes. There are several other minor characters that I wish they would just write out, especially Avery's wife (she's just not necessary) and Gowen. I get that they need a "bad guy, but Gowen is way too stereotypical and predictable. I would much rather the children at school and their families be the side stories for each episode!

I absolutely can't stand her. She is ridiculous, over the top, self-absorbed and a busybody. It made me think a little less of Jack that he would ever be engaged to suck a ridiculous woman, but men can be stupid...Nora is a pretty obnoxious, manipulative woman as well.

I only like Rosemary when she's using a normal voice, but it's rare for her to not speak like she's in a ridiculous play.

I completely agree. What bugs me even more is that the other women in town are so accepting of her. At one point she brags about how many men she's dated... I can't imagine that her comment combined with her crazy throwing herself at Jack behavior would actually win her acceptance at this point in history. I'd think the other women would shun her completely. Plus, I understand Jack is a gentleman, but even a gentleman would at some point put his foot down and firmly tell her to stop throwing herself at him. This storyline has been very frustrating to watch and has made me like Jack, and the show, much less.

Yes, please get rid of her, Nora, Gowen, and the ex-mayor's brunette wife!

Why would Nora get divorced and stay in the same town her ex lives in? What a psycho.

I am at the beginning of Season 2. I was so happy when she left for San Fransisco and sickened to discover she wasn't even gone an entire episode. I read this thread hoping to read she was gone because I DO find her irritating enough to stop watching. The make up, hair styles, usage of songs not yet written, and clothing bought off the rack (particularly love it when it is polyester) are easier to ignore than this horrid "acting." Please write her out!

Ah, if life allowed us to summarily get rid of the people we don't like, how incredibly boring this world would be. Moreover, the people we tend to dislike reveals something about ourselves.

Pascale Hutton plays Rosemary brilliantly, giving her all the quirkiness and idiosyncrasies of a self-absorbed actress who sees the world as a cosmic stage. However, underneath that is a woman with a huge heart. It's obvious she cares deeply, and it often shows during those brief moments when she is able to drop her obvious facade.

I really like Rosemary. She rounds out a great cast of characters by bringing some fantastic quirks of her own. I thoroughly enjoy each moment of her character on the screen. She is often the character who makes me laugh the most.

She is annoying, I can't stand her ham acting style, even when she tones it down it is still too much. And she just isn't charming enough to be getting away with how she behaves.

Sometimes a movie or tv show plot is so stupid that only the stupid can understand it.
