All the derogatory comment about Thrady on this page are so laughable, Take the poll, at SoapShows.com upwards of 70%, over 5000 people really like them together as a couple. I do. It's all sillier when you consider that many of those commenting on the reason for this contempt of the character is because Theresa freaked out and bashed John over the head with a fire place poker. Kids kids kids, grow up a little, expand your thinking, PLEASE!!!
So...your opinion is somehow more valid than other opinions expressed here, because a poll backs you up? No one really thinks Theresa and Brady have no fans. Of course they do. Every coupling has its share of fans as well as detractors. Relying on a poll to say that Brady and Theresa are popular, though...online polls are often rigged. People find ways to vote more than once. Some will spend hours voting to inflate numbers. Polls are unreliable. All I know is how I feel. I don't really like Theresa. She did hit John over the head, nearly killing him. She did blame Brady for it. She lied about being raped. She hired a nanny who didn't care about Tate on purpose because that nanny was going to say how great she was. They could have told a real story about her redemption. They didn't. They just made her turn over a new leaf in the space of one episode, without any real reason or occurrence to explain her change of heart. It didn't work for me...it didn't change how I felt about her. A real story might have, but we didn't get that. I forgot about that nanny thing last year. The worst. And she treated this current one like garbage too.

I liked Theresa a lot, before they redeemed her. Giving her Tate and insta redeeming her (which was basically throwing her parents under the bus and making her a talented fashion designer) is what killed the character for me, not almost killing John, not blaming Brady.
I've seen that argument used so many times though, that if you don't like Theresa it must be because of what she did to John. As someone who once loved the character of Theresa, even after that, it annoys me to be told why it is I must not like her.

As someone who once loved the character of Theresa, even after that, it annoys me to be told why it is I must not like her. I didn't like her before that. And it wasn't because she was "bad." It was because she didn't have a believable backstory and just didn't make a lot of sense. I also don't care for JL's portrayal. Imo, they saw a chance to snap up a specific actress and didn't bother to actually develop a character. It showed. They didn't even have a group for her to fit into. Nearly everyone on canvas is too old or too young for her. I think she should be around the last blast group, and she's barely looked at the remnants of them.
I don't care about the thing with John, but I actually think it would have helped the character if more people onscreen cared about what happened with John.

I never thought of it like this, but this is so spot on. They clearly wanted to snatch up Jen quickly but obviously didn't have long term plans. Thrady really seemed to come out of the blue after they spent so much time having her interact with JJ/Jennifer. Even recently with the chance to have interact with her age group (Belle, Shawn, Philip, and Chloe) she still was totally separated from that bubble.

I used to be aggravated every time Theresa talked about growing up poor and knowing she wouldn't have the opportunity to travel in Europe etc. THAT BACKSTORY MAKES NO SENSE! SHANE IS RICH AND FROM ENGLAND!
I don't need the character to be nice, but I do need her "troubled past" to compute with what we already knew of her life.
That was my initial problem with Thrady. The hook was supposed to be that he had money and she never had. WTF?

My problem is two-fold: I don't like Jen Lilley as an actress (the constant bubbly cheerleader act gets old), and she has zero chemistry with Brady. He had much stronger, hotter chemistry with Nadia, Arianne, Eileen, and even Lindsay Hartley. The actors are plain awkward together - and I want Brady in a "red hot" pairing, with someone near his age. The insta-redemption with no apology, throwing her parents under the bus to give her an excuse, and the lame fashion designer just added fuel to the fire.
I won't miss her at all.

Even recently with the chance to have interact with her age group (Belle, Shawn, Philip, and Chloe) she still was totally separated from that bubble. I'm not sure if they specifically wanted to snatch her up, maybe. According to her interview they called her. But I also remember her saying she did two auditions (same day). The second time she had to have a different hairdo. Chrishell Stause also mentioned she auditioned for 2 roles, and they asked her which one she prefers. She chose the one of a good girl (Jordan) because she thought the other role was to similar to the one she played on AMC. I frankly don't remember when was the last time they developed a new role properly. Not in the last five years.

If you can't have at least some understanding as to why some might be inclined to dislike a couple after one half almost murdered the other's parent then I really feel for you. :shame:

I won't miss her at all. I didn't even like Brady and Madison when they aired and I was watching some of that time frame last night (Christmas 2011) and I was like wow look at Brady with an adult.

Kids kids kids, grow up a little, expand your thinking, PLEASE!!! LOL! Sorry I haven't bought into the shows version of this character like you have. Enjoy her! I'm just fine thanks and feel no need to grow up. After all I had nothing to do with creating or writing this miserable character.

And while we are at expanding our thinking, let's now collectively like everything Rope, Dicole, Dannifer, Ejami and everyone else because I'm pretty sure there are people who like them. :laugh: Btw, did you mean this poll? Will you miss the relationship Brady and Theresa had? *Yes, they became a really sweet couple *It's a soap, so another relationship will come along *I'm just not sure... http://soaphub.com/days-of-our-lives/the-days-of-our-lives-beginning-of-the-end-of-brady-and-theresa/This poll doesn't even have a neutral negative answer. Not that it means anything, but it's also not some big news that these polls (all of them) could be very easily scammed. Oh it was that poll? i saw that and couldn't even vote in it because there was no option for me.

That was my initial problem with Thrady. The hook was supposed to be that he had money and she never had. WTF? There are just so many legitimate reasons to dislike this character. What she did to John is my number one reason, but there are so many that I'm sure I could make a list that would take up a whole page of this board. I didn't like her the first time I was subjected to her. Then she tried to blackmail John, almost killed him, then stalked him, just waiting for him to die, while he lay rotting away in a coma that she put him in. All the while lying her face off about the whole thing to save her pathetic ass. I think that's a pretty good reason to hate a character and to refuse to eat the redemption the show tried to force feed me after they created this monster.

I liked Thrady fine up until they gave them a kid & "reformed" Theresa. Now they are SO boring. A character like Theresa should never be in a boring relationship, IMO.
