I thought it would be interesting to see who people like better and what their reason is. So....do you like Theresa or Gwen better, and most importantly, why?
For me....seriously, they both drive me nuts, they both make me yell at the TV, but Theresa. There have been times when I have liked Gwen better [like when Ethan was in a coma] but Theresa is the one I truly like best.
Why? They've both done a lot of crap in their time--I'm not going to pull out the lists, because I hate that! Neither one's actions are justifiable. But I think that Theresa does the things she does because she loves Ethan, and she wants to be with him. She wants to provide a good home for her children. But to me it seems like for Gwen it's a lot about winning. It's kind of like when Pilar was telling Father Lonnigan that she was going to call off the ceremony but he convinced her not to, and she went off saying that she'd go on with the ceremony because she wasn't going to let that woman get her husband because of a lie. I think it's kind of the same way for Gwen.
Also, one thing that really irritates me about Gwen is the innocent woman act that she pulls. Theresa doesn't act like she's all innocent....sure says she wouldn't have to do these things if it weren't for Gwen, but she knows that she's doing bad things and she's not going to downplay it. Gwen totally does. EVERYTHING that's happened to her is Theresa's fault and it's so hard for her, but she has to retaliate. That really gets to me.
When I started watching the show, I was neutral. I wanted ET together but I liked Theresa and Gwen the same. Then came the LA storyline, and I was shocked at Gwen's behavior. To endanger her unborn child so many times like she did, even before she knew Theresa was there? Afterwards, losing Sarah made me feel for her again. But then she made Ethan make those vows on Sarah's coffin, and to me it seemed to be a HUGE disrespect her dead daughter. The infertility storyline hit close to home, because someone I love struggled with infertility and I felt for her a bit more. When she took LE away I was really disappointed. Then after Theresa had herself implanted with Gwen's embryo's....I hated that Theresa did that, but when Gwen threatened to cut her embryo out of Theresa herself brandishing the broken bottle, that turned me against Gwen. I can understand her not wanting Theresa to carry her child, but to actually take away it's chance at life and making her a mother.... That was it for me and Gwen. The only other time I've actually liked her was during Ethan's coma storyline, and I really disliked Theresa throughout that whole thing, but now Gwen just irritates me again.
So, what are your thoughts on these two, and I would LOVE to hear from fans of Gwen!!!
