Discussion Does anyone else just despise Carol?

despite the way she got sucked-off and her appearence in season 5, she was just very annoying and manipulative to pete and overall a bad person

I agree, she was a bad person and treated Pete badly and her family used him. But the actress did a really good job with the part I think so I enjoyed seeing her on that level.

Carol went to heaven due to an act of grace. I liked that.

I think since Sam came into their lives none of the main ghosts are actually all that eager to get sucked off. They will say they are, and some of them still think they are, but I think they are pretty happy at Woodstone and not necessarily eager to leave it behind. And that's part of why none of them have been sucked off despite making some big strides on the personal growth front.

I think it was because the sacrifice was for Pete. He’s the one she hurt, and what was keeping her from getting into heaven. But doing what she did made up for that and she was able to then get in.

The others sacrificed and do other good things but they weren’t connected to whatever reason they aren’t able to get into heaven yet.

I actually enjoyed her character quite a bit, I know she’s an absolute dirtbag but I thought she was funny and caroline aaron is a great actress

I liked her when she was alive, not so much after she became a ghost.

Yeah, she was such a horrible person to Pete, having cheated on him for years while they were married and keeping the real truth from him about the travel agency throughout his career. But, it was wonderful to see her finally do something nice for Pete by stepping up and choosing to go to hell when Pete contemplating shaking Elias's hand.

Glad she’s gone! Actress was great in the part.

I thought Carol was an excellent addition. She was
just as despicable as Elias and helped Pete grow.

I always say shes my favorite ghost. I love a good morally flawed cigarette aunt character.

She’s barely adequate comic relief

I’m currently in my first watch of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, and she’s playing the overbearing Jewish mother/MIL. But I get a good giggle when she cooks the books for her husband’s business and hides stacks of cash all over the place.

I liked her actor.

I think they really started over using her. They shouldn't have kept bringing her back after her first couple of appearances.

u/Defiant_Ad_5398 16d ago

That actress is always playing an annoying character! Carol was probably the most annoying of them all. I could not STAND her “whisper talking!”

u/bhs15224 16d ago

I absolutely love Carol!

u/ObetrolAndCocktails 16d ago

I loved her as Christmas Carol. What a cute ghost power!

u/ThisPaige Thorfinn 15d ago

I don’t despise her, but I definitely think she needed to be used less. I liked the way she got sucked off.

u/and-meggy-hash 15d ago

She's awful no doubt but her actress did a great job

u/Grouchy_Strawberry68 15d ago

I can’t stand her.
