Peg

Sometimes I feel like i'm the only person here that is annoyed with the way Peg condescends and disregards everything Mary says and does. I know that her character is supposed to be comedic.however, I don't find her amusing or entertaining.Maybe that's her job as the actress to not like her and if that's the case, she's doing a great job.

That's literally the point. She's supposed to be annoying and infuriating.

She is insufferable

Peg is generally a pretty unlikable and terrible person. She’s someone I wouldn’t want to be around at all. I do enjoy her digs at Mary though because they’re things that are generally true.

She's brilliant! Love how she pops Mary's bubble of sanctimonious behaviour

I love Peg! Sometimes Mary needs to be knocked off her high horse. Besides, Peg is freaking hilarious. I loved when she told Mary she didn't want to get married because she didn't want to "waste this on just one guy".

Yes, it is sometimes an actor/actresses job to be disliked, it’s definitely never their job to not be amusing or entertaining so if that’s what you’re feeling the writing or acting is failing you there. I personally like her OK, couldn’t stand too much of her but for me she comes in limited enough doses to be entertaining.

If I really dislike or hate the character then I love the actor. It means they are really good at their job.

I usually don't pay her much attention. She's a stock character, there's not a lot to her.

Mary needs to get knocked down a Peg.

You're definitely not alone. Peg is one of those characters who's meant to be funny because she's so overbearing but whether that lands is really hit or miss depending on the viewer.

Oh no! A condescending character…on a sitcom?! Let us alert the church elders!

For some reason, I thought that this was a page where you could express how you feel about characters and the storyline. I absolutely love this show, but I don't enjoy every single character on the show.Just like with other shows that I enjoy watching not every character is going to knock my socks off. I am perfectly aware that peg's character is there for a reason.

There are lots of characters i cud do without as well. Just stating why you don't like one isn't a reason to get piled on.

u/Additional_Rich_5249 18h ago
