Don't know what happened for the tide to turn on her around here... I'm pretty sure she was well liked before and during her rape storyline, then something seems to have happened to make her unpopular?

Sometimes I like her, sometimes I don't... Overall, she's a middle of the road character, for me.

I like Lisa, she's the typical matriarch always looking after her family instead of herself. Long may she rein.

I used to love her but something has happened to her and she is so whiny now.

Not to mention her and Zak keep saying no more secrets it just makes our illnesses worse but keep on keeping secrets because of their illnesses.

Love Liseh and her big bowl / pot.

The 2 of them must be surgically attached; the power of the bowl are the new arms in ED for Liseh.

I get annoyed by her limited acting range - same old same old.

Still - the actress will be laughing all the way to the bank - a good living for so little effort.

I don't mind her. She's OK but yes she does whine a lot.

I like Lisa, she cements the Dingle family in good times and bad, I also like her fiscal policy; anyone living in the house who works, throws money into a pot on the table each week- a bit like our taxation system.

It's just how she seems to rant on sometimes. Maybe it's just me that feels this way. Her voice tends to grate on me sometimes. As I always say, just my opinion.

Very much so. The way her precious little Belle can do no wrong and she interferes in everything.

I know that Sam was fond of Archie and had a relationship with him but Lisa had no right getting him over to see him without Jai's permission. Then virtually blackmailing him into allowing access.

Treating other people like that is fine but god forbid anybody does anything to her family - even if they deserve it.

She's a Dingle through and through these days.

For me it is her blind devotion to certain members of the family (Belle primarily) whilst berating others. Her behaviour towards Dom, whose only child had just died was awful.

I know Belle is her daughter, it is natural to protect her but she acts like she has done nothing wrong and been unfairly persecuted.

No Belle didn't mean to kill Gemma but the fact is that a violent push did result in somebody dying. And Belle was vile to Gemma before that, during the abortion storyline.

That's what has made me turn against her and I used to really like her.

Sorry but Lisa just gets worse.
This thing with "our Belle".
Please, just listen to her voice and body language.
She is just so poor in my opinion.
As I say, that is my opinion and I just wondered if others felt the same..

I feel the same, what happened to her diet and her angina? Where have those stories gone now our Belle is free and listening to her iPod which I have never seen her use before and her new wardrobe of clothes I have never seen her wear before, but apparently they are broke?

For me personally the rot started during Zak's breakdown storyline, she was snappy and unsympathetic as if he was doing it deliberately. I thought it was a bit out of character for her.

Then as KitKat said above her attitude towards Belle, what she did and to Dom did her no favours at all. In her desperation to protect Belle at all costs and not let her confess she actually added to Belle's problems (and probably her sentence due to the delay in her confession), Lisa nearly drove the girl to edge. She wanted to confess but Lisa even tried to kidnap her to get her out of the way and repeatedly yelled at Zak when he tried to talk reason to her. SHE was right and everyone else was wrong. Then wailing like a banshee because Belle got sent down - she seemed to forget that at least her daughter would be coming back, Dom's wouldn't. She was crass, insensitive and frankly bloody annoying.

Now we have the OTT blind devotion to Belle - I don't know how that girl can breathe with a mother like her. I should be feeling sympathy for her the way Belle's behaving but I'm just shouting "FGS, back off Lisa you're smothering her!!!!". Again I think she's adding to Belle's problems. She's also not looking after herself properly - she has angina and is overweight yet as scone says above this just seems to have been forgotten! One meal of lettuce leaves and a quick diet pill storyline then nada, nothing


I used to love Lisa. She was a salt of the earth, the hub of the family and I broke my heart for her during her rape storyline but then they seemed to change the writing for her and she became a nag, unsympathetic, OTT and panicky about everything and now she can be trial to watch.

I didn't see all the episode but she appeared to be at it again last night, labeling Lachie a monster, seeming to think that Chrissie should lock him up or banish him so he can't be anywhere near pure, innocent Belle before she knows the full facts.

Other parents should accept their children are 'evil' and allow others to 'mark their cards', 'warn them off' etc but Belle is perfect and nobody else can say or do anything.

This blinkered protectiveness and devotion to Belle is getting very, very wearing.

Great post Lotteh - totally sums Liseh up for me. Such a shame, because she did indeed use to be a great character.

Yes once again Lisa was infuriating last night. I don't know what Lachlan's done in the past but I couldn't believe that his mother stood there meekly saying he would be grounded etc without any proof that he'd actually done anything If that shower had turned up at my house with that kind of attitude and threats they'd have been sent away with a flea in their ear!

Mind you I was annoyed at Belle too. If he isn't the one tormenting her then she should be shouting louder at Lisa and Zak about his innocence. She has no problem snapping at them at home yet when they were up Home Farm she was quiet as a mouse!

Thanks Onj I remember well how sympathetic we all were when she was raped by that creep and a lot of that was because we liked her, she was a good, sympathetic character up until then. But then something seemed to happen in the writing room and she's been unbearable a lot of the time since

I'd like to think that her neurosis, protectiveness and general panics are a result of her rape and good writing but as the rape has never been alluded to for a long, long time I'm not holding my breath!
