Janine Butcher is probably the best written/acted character in all of soapland...

So layered, so complex and played brilliant by Charlie

But which do you prefare.

Nice Janine

or

Evil Janine

I adore Janine in both capacitys, her evil behaviour is soooo brilliant to watch

But its when we glimpse her vulnerability that really makes me love her more.

She has the ability to tug at your heart strings

I prefer her when she is being somewhere in the middle,like when she was touched by little amy being nice to her,or when she is enjoying being an aunty(not that she does this nicely all the time),and how she grew attached to her granny!
But also when she gave Pat the money,and it seemed she was being nice,but then she had to add that little sting.I think she wanted to just give Pat the money free and clear,but her personality and her insecurity won't allow her to just be nice!

She was nice to her gran.She was nice to Ryan especially before Christmas.I still remember how excited she was with the christmas gifts and tree she was getting him while all along she was cheating and I think she really likes bianca's kids.And how can you forget how she rushed to the rescue when she heard of Whitney's plight though I had no doubt she was guilty as to the part she played in that and she loves pat too.She was genuinely so upset when she thought she was dying of a heart attack although I think it's deplorable how rude she is to Pat most times.

Especially Tiffany. I think she sees herself in her.

Nasty janine keeps me hooked, a fondly recall her days of treating laura like the loser she was.

But then nice janine is the one that wins you over! She was so sweet to ryan in her own insecure way then the man slag goes to that little harlet stacey and after christmas it's janines fault?

Pssh.

I think she's a sweet innocent girl who wants to be nice but because of what everyone expects of her she just can't.

I couldn't vote, I love her whether she's being evil or nice.

She's brilliant when she's being a bitch and that's usually when she's at her funniest. It's always entertaining when she's up to no good.

When she's nicer and shows her more vulnerable side I can't help but feel sorry for her even if she's brought on her own misery. I guess it's her nicer side that I love more, it's what makes her so complex.

Either way she's the best character imo and Charlie plays her brilliantly.

I like her evil side - soaps need characters like that. Showing her nicer, more vulnerable nature once in a while is good, though.

Is there really a nice Janine? The only time I have seen her nice is with Lydia and thats about it. Janine isn't really, she is a pure evil cow, but even though she is I have to say I love her, she is one of the best villians EE has ever had.

I really like it when the nice side of her comes out every so often - from the preview of Sunday's episode it seems like there will be some really heartbreaking, emotional scenes for her. I do like her bitchy side also though.

I think you have to have the evil Janine to appreciate the nice moments Janine has. If she was always nice I'd be bored but I like it every once and a while.

she's nice to her family all the time but Ricky seems to think to be nice you need to be a doormat and Janine can't and won't be treated as such.

Janine is not evil, she's misunderstood.

Love Janine and she's one of the better comebacks by an EE character.

Like many have said,i like both. She is not pure evil cow. She is a nice person inside and showed her vulnerability many times. She is my most favourite character in the show.

Is there some sort of joke about her being Janice? D:

Have seen other people think she was called Janice before
