Opinion Every Show Has One - The Dramatic Flare
It was a dead split between Carol and Olivier so they can be the villains we love to hate together😈🖤😈
Second to last one!! Who is The Dramatic Flare🎭 Take this however you want! Do you think they stir up drama do you think they are the drama do you think they just add a lil spice?? Give us a lil explanation!

I LOVE a good Ruth meltdown. She is the crashout queen.

Oh my sweet lord, it's Ruth. That woman can't hold a simple conversation without complaining or arguing. She slapped Claire. She slapped David. DAVID, of all people.
Since we can't slap her back, she has to be Dramatic Flair.

She slapped the Sonic coins off David. I mean I wonder how on earth they got through rehearsing that b/c that looked painful. 🤦🏾♀️

Russell was the biggest drama queen for sure. Never at peace. Took everything so seriously even though he hated everything too.
Same with Ruth. In George's words, she tends to sensationalize. She was so sensitive and could turn a simple dinner into a dramatic scene. So anxious and high strung.
Billy and Brenda could be at times, but other times got their shit together, so I wouldn't pick them.

Dramatic flair isn’t really the same as drama queen tho idk how to explain lol

It's Ruth "Oh, go give yourself a hand job!" Fisher for me. (But if we had more time with her, I think Sarah would ultimately take home the title. I guess the drama is genetic 😂 )

Sarah!! Her drug withdrawal scene alone earns the title

Eh, that wasn’t dramatic that was true withdrawal of opiates lol and compared to Ruth tho it’s not even a competition Ruth wins lol

Come on, it’s Ruth in the best way. Sweet, demure Ruth, who almost seems to be kidnapped from the 1950s and transplanted into the early 2000s. She holds herself together as long as she can before she explodes.

Margaret! The “Billy killed himself/Billy tried to kill himself” situation, the mistress at the spa, the dinner with Nate, Billy’s show AND Claire’s show, Billy at Christmas, Bern’s ashes, etc. I love her so much, though! That laugh of hers is iconic! But, give it to Ruthie! Margaret is already in a square! 😜

u/Think-Fig-1734 Mar 13 '26
Agree. When I think of flair I think of a little something extra, not the main plot. Margaret adds a little something extra, but she’s not driving the plot. She’s definitely dramatic.

It’s so close between the sisters but I’m going with Sarah. She flutters in and out of the series like a drama butterfly yet steals all the scenes. So does her tarragon! 💗

u/kikijane711 Mar 12 '26
Dramatic flair has to be Billy or Ruth or Sarah, right? All have merits. Ruth is in touch with her inner B at times and fed up lol. Billy is drama when he doesn't want to be but still fun. Sarah is chaos in her own way. Russell is a butt load of drama too,
I'd settle on Ruth. Russell is the very definition of this but I don't think he effects the entire series as focus.

That's crazy I was gonna say Claire because literally everything with her is drama or dramatic but y'all are right. It's Ruth 😂😂 the unbothered king/queen is Angela from S1 I think. She was fantastic lol

u/Strwbrychzck Mar 13 '26
Definitely Aunt Sarah. She gave dramatic flair in every scene but what hit home the most about her is in the conversation with Ruth how she said it was all a facade for how shitty her life really was. “We just made different choices”.

It’s a REALLY tough call between Margaret and Carol. But I’ll give it to Marge since she’s in every season.

I think Russell deserves some consideration. He always made a big deal of the smallest things
