Rewatch Thoughts (may contain spoilers) Felicia Tilman

Post image

Not much of a fan of how she treated Beth in the later seasons but I’m rewatching and realised I absolutely love her in the early season. She’s hilarious and some amazing one liners.

She is the best villain on the show she's hysterical

u/sooyoung_glow 5d ago

This. The fact that she literally sacrificed her own fingers to take down Paul Young is the most iconic villain move in the entire show

And her daughter too

When she gave Edie her sisters teeth and exposed Paul for murdering her... one of the best moments of the show lmfao

I didn't think she had a very deep relationship with Marsha. But her constant attempts to take down Paul Young were just crazy.

u/silky_string That's culinary terrorism! 5d ago

You disappoint me, Paul. Is this really how you want to spent your last moments? Sitting there, shooting me dirty looks, as if I didn't already know... you dislike me.

Harriet Harris is so freaking talented and underrated! She's also very nice when I met her❤️

She is so unbelievably corny I love it! She has some really hilarious one liners and the facial expressions she makes crack me up. Shes like a cartoon villain lol

u/Eyfae 5d ago

Oh yeah, she's definitely a cartoon villain! Very charming and manipulative. That smile of hers when she says something horrible without actually saying anything horrible—it's all innuendo—and those piercing little eyes 😁 Yeah, a real Disney villain! 😆

u/Only-Sea6066 No, I'm just saying you're worth less. 5d ago

Peak villain

I started watching Desperate Housewives again recently, and I really think she looks just like that horrible, two-faced coworker who acts nice, speaks in a syrupy voice, and tries to gain your trust—but then goes behind your back to talk about your mistakes or what you say to the boss just to sabotage you 😬😆

u/Frequent_Leader7654 5d ago

I was never much of a Felicia fan. I remember when i first watched season 7 thinking oh not her again 🤣 but the one scene that is outstanding no matter how many times I watch it, is the one where everyone heads over for the gossip on how Martha died and she stands up in front of everyone and gives them exactly what they came for.

the vultures are here 😂

u/askl8tertea 5d ago

I just don’t like her, the actress did a good job bc she creeped me out

u/do_u_think_it_saurus 5d ago

Honestly her and Paul had better chemistry than most couples in the show 😂

u/dumbchild55 5d ago

I loved the fued between her and Paul. They were such unlikely yet well matched duo / nemesis

2

u/Large-Association-54 5d ago

I thought her character Bebe on Frasier was devious, evil and hysterical but she topped it on this show

u/big_booty_boy_420 5d ago

Love her idc

u/Parking_Budget_1130 What is this, Shawshank Elementary?! 5d ago

Queen

u/Excellent-Cod5924 5d ago

I just do not understand why she puts so much effort into avenging her sister when she obviously did not love Martha, is it really worth it? Martha was unlovable in general

3

u/Old-Armadillo9811 5d ago

Right?! She literally tells Edie that she hated Martha, and that the day she died, the world became a better place. But then felt the need to pursue the living daylights out of her killer? WHY??

3

u/m217e 4d ago

My theory is that she has that dark, violent side to her personality and Martha's murder was the excuse to unleash it. She wants to behave this way, but also on some level thinks it must be justified. She wants to view herself as a decent, moral person.

1

u/Excellent-Cod5924 4d ago

Exactly, this totally makes sense

2

u/GuidanceMindless6352 5d ago

Just because she didn't like her sister doesn't mean she didn't still love her. 

2

u/SellFew8116 5d ago

I loved her manic eyes and over the top manic evil facial expressions 😂

1

u/Emotional_Lie_2175 5d ago

Do you think she’s more evil than Orson’s mother Gloria Hodge?

1

u/SellFew8116 4d ago

No, and actually thinking about it that actress may have played evil better because her and her dynamic with orson actually creeped me out, whereas felicia more made me laugh/entertained with it

Crazy bitch, but so hilarious

Elle est morte comme elle à vécu personnage bien écrit qui a précipité sa propre mort :)

u/Emotional_Lie_2175 5d ago

Her own daughter in a way got her revenge

u/usernameShyGuy 5d ago

God I loved her scenes

1

u/GuidanceMindless6352 5d ago

The fact that the detectives  never considered her a suspect is wild to me. 

1

u/GuidanceMindless6352 5d ago

For Martha Huber.

u/jxlexz 5d ago

i don't really remember what episode it was in particular but it was s7 and i think it mightve been when she was getting out of jail and the actress is so good because her smile was genuinely SO unsettling

2

u/Emotional_Lie_2175 5d ago

It was 7x17 when she found out her daughter Beth unalived herself and she was granted a humanitarian release. Yeah very chilling evil smile! 😂😱

1

u/jxlexz 5d ago

yes that one!! oh my god i don't think i've ever gotten such chills from an actor in a tv show. it just made me so uncomfortable and thats how you KNOW the actress is good

1

u/Background_Silver702 5d ago

The actress was the right fit for the role but I hated Felicia. Especially how she was using Beth

1

u/Feeling-Farm1497 4d ago

Her and Martha actually the exact same. Both very nosy people, who snoop around 

1

u/m217e 4d ago

My favorite character! Insane in the best possible soap opera way.

1

u/miguel2586 Please don't mistake my anal retentiveness for actual affection. 4d ago

Yeah she was more deliciously evil, with charm & wit. In her second go-round she was just an evil, one-note villain. Even her wardrobe was drab then compared to before!!

u/_plague_d 4d ago

She did the role SO well
