@@MrRickster83 Well no, that's not really misery-more mere camp drama. A better analogy would be how so many people watch documentaries and dramas based on notorious serial killers and rapists etc. Or how people love to tune into the news to hear bad and tragic news, it sells better. People tune in because it dwells on misery and suffering so it's interesting. Jack the Ripper is almost a folk here for instance when he murdered several innocent women brutally.
I found Felicia more creepy than Martha Huber! Martha was just a vulture snooping for gossip and attention but Felicia was much more intelligent the way she understood human behaviour made her dangerous and she proved it when she set Paul Young up for murder!
@@wickedwitchoftheeast88 Both are cruel in a different extent. Martha came off as a psychopath who, despite her cookie-cutter, squeaky clean housewife appearance and cheerful demeanor, was reveling in other people's misery in order to feed her egotistical curiosity. She was conniving but likeable enough in appearance to make people believe she was nice. She used semblances of kindness to get ahead in life and her life in the neighborhood proved that. Martha was this prim, sly and mischievous woman who dressed herself with the perfect combination of cleanliness and colorfulness for the world to see, only to reveal herself gradually as a priggish, heinous loudmouth whose only pleasure was to make people bow down to her like the Queen she thought she was by using their truths against them in a form of cavalier, calculating self-righteousness. Felicia harbors sociopathy more because she doesn't make any efforts to hide her cunningness, her demeaning of others (especially her own child, Beth) and her deceit. Her very high intelligence and graceful manner of speech serves both as a cover-up for her callous and vengeful nature. She's icy and ruthless in a understated yet overaching extent and goes farther in the depths of cruelty because she was ready to go to extreme lengths to make others pay for their misdeeds, including inflicting injuries and mutilation on herself for that (Munchausen syndrome). For instance, framing Paul for her own death was a Gone Girl type of genius plan. It takes serious hatred toward others to build a plan that wild and feeling exhilarated about it. These two twisted siblings are amongst the most riveting yet disturbing female villains in daytime HISTORY.
@@moisemensah8233 I would say Martha was more of a narcissist than a psychopath although she does have a few traits of psychopathy like her lack of remorse for the horrible stuff she did to others especially Mary Alice. Felicia fits the psychopathy profile more than Martha does. Look at how she manipulated people she told Zach's grandfather Noah that he had a grandson to get revenge on Paul and when that failed she took a different approach. She drove him nuts to the point he went mad at her in front of witnesses, she called the police and acted scared and upset of Paul whilst for weeks pumping blood out of her body and then cutting her figners off to frame him for murder and it worked. That kind of thing takes careful planning and a meticulous attention to detail. Then when he was released and she was imprisoned she used her daughter to keep settling the score and when Beth killed herself she used that to get freedom. Look how she was able to manipulate Susan so she could poison Paul's food and leave Susan to take the blame for it. That takes alot of thinking, planning and serious detail to do those things and avoid suspicion and what makes her obsession with getting revenge on Paul for Martha so crazy is Felicia herself admitted she couldn't stand Martha and actually hated her!
@@wickedwitchoftheeast88 I wish is was Ms Mcluskey that was being set up to poison Paul. When that flashback between Ms Mcluskey and Felicia occurred I was like oh my goodness they are both going to conspire against Paul Young.
"Probably in great pain." Felicia Tillman is full of jokes. Boy do I miss this show. Sad that it ended BUT happy it ended on a high note when they knew the time was right. LOL
I am currently rewatching Desperate Housewives. It's been 3 years since my last DH marathon. This scene is absolutely Hilarious! My stomach hurts from the heavy laughs.
Well she's a nurse and worked in rehab with addicts and others who had mental health issues and she's kind of psychopathic so its hardly surprising she has a good understanding of psychology
@@moisemensah8233 it's called dark comedy. Housewives often took hard subjects like cancer, disability, homosexuality, drug abuse, rape, alcoholism, suicide, prostitution, stalking, murder etc and inserted humour into how they executed the storylines. No topic was off the table that they wouldn't throw humour into hence it being dark comedy.
@@moisemensah8233 she's not really a conventional "villain" so to speak, I mean she is trying to do justice about someone's death! And the one that died is her SISTER!
And not to mention she was in prison for about 18 months "With good behavior" She only got out early because she was released as a humanity release when she found out her daughter Beth committed suicide. What did you expect?
Well, you gotta admit, she hit the exact bullseye when it comes to human beings feeding on misery. Sad but true. :\
God yeah. This is why us humans tune into shows like The X Factor when there’s an argument / fight / someone gets boo’d off 😜

@@shanefolan9175loved her! Even when she's describing how she didn't love her sister even though they shared a bond.
The thing I love about Martha is her command over the English language. Her choice of words and her cadence of speech.
You mean Felicia.
@@RhaegarTargaryen1st yes you’re right, I only just realised 😅
Felicia not martha
@@weldalsabe3 Martha Huber also was pretty good with the English language. "Make mincemeat of you" etc.
The people's reaction and Felicia's "announcement" 😆 Season 1 was so iconic

@@wickedwitchoftheeast88 you're absolutely true in your assessment of them.
@@wickedwitchoftheeast88 I wish is was Ms Mcluskey that was being set up to poison Paul. When that flashback between Ms Mcluskey and Felicia occurred I was like oh my goodness they are both going to conspire against Paul Young.
Felicia was one of the best characters on the show.
A delicious villain
Only on season 1
Oh she was fantastic
"Please, no personal checks."
Pretty sure I broke a rib from laughter when she capped it off with that.
When a new characters enter. You've got only few lines to cement what to expect from them. With that. Her. You knew you were in for a bumpy ride.
What did she mean by no personal checks? What are they
"Probably in great pain." Felicia Tillman is full of jokes. Boy do I miss this show. Sad that it ended BUT happy it ended on a high note when they knew the time was right. LOL
Yep!
Gotta love Felicia :) she's so amazing and Harriet Sansom Harris portrays her so wrll
I am currently rewatching Desperate Housewives. It's been 3 years since my last DH marathon. This scene is absolutely Hilarious! My stomach hurts from the heavy laughs.
People's reactions are precious hahah
Right 😆
God I miss this show
She is such a good psychologist
Well she's a nurse and worked in rehab with addicts and others who had mental health issues and she's kind of psychopathic so its hardly surprising she has a good understanding of psychology
I loved her character...
Me too
Estate sale, lol thats cold but funny at the same time... Martha would have been so touched :-D
she cracks me up
love the felicia character. she is up there with my favorite. Gabby!
I'll always remember her on the show "The 5 Mrs. Buchanan's
Just like her character BeBe on Frasier😂😂😂😂
Exactly what I was thinking!!
Felicia makes Martha seem like Glinda the Good
Season 7 Felicia mhm
"There are no signs that she had been molested."
I would have respected the murdered for the courage if she had.
But the good news is...she wasn't molested. I hit the damn FLOOR!
Felicia Tilman, wowwwww i love you, nice
She's an awful person, but she's right here
Is it wrong that this is very funny 🤭🤣
That was the point, don't feel guilty. I cackled 😂.

@@shanefolan9175 True. To me, it's the best type. It allows us to take the human condition with a grain of salt.
Simply epic !
That woman in red played the therapist in Ellen Dégénérés sitcom. The one who pees in the parking lot.
Does anyone else get an Annie Wilkes vibe off of her?
I do. Felicia is one of the most heinous female villains in TV history.
@@moisemensah8233 she's not really a conventional "villain" so to speak, I mean she is trying to do justice about someone's death! And the one that died is her SISTER!
@@screamqueensfan288 "Oh Edie let me be clear about this, I HATED Martha."
love this
How come they all pronounce details like "de-tails?" I've never head it pronounced like that on any other American show.
Felicia gives me jokes. Lol
She gives the "vultures" the "sordid details"...
Felicia's outfits and style really went downhill after her return in S7. So, so bad compared to the ones she wore back in S1
Probably because she went nuts? I mean the woman is scheming for more than about 7 years at that point! In hiding, while having only 8 fingers.
And not to mention she was in prison for about 18 months "With good behavior" She only got out early because she was released as a humanity release when she found out her daughter Beth committed suicide. What did you expect?
Ahhahahha love Felicia
Le doublage en francais c est casi la meme voix
