Australian actress Melissa George is rapidly becoming the most hated woman on American television!
Starring in the cult TV series Alias, the former Home And Away star and three-time Logie winner is so convincingly awful as agent Lauren Reed, fans of the show are now clamouring to have her dumped.
The rabid fans are outraged that her character has married Michael Vaughn, who's played by the sexy Michael Vartan.
They wanted him to marry the beautiful spy Sydney Bristow (played by Jennifer Garner) who - in storylines seen in the US- was missing in action for two years, but is still in love with Michael. And it seems there's nothing fans like about Melissa or her snooty character. They have complained in droves about her English accent, her looks and even her eyebrows.
Melissa, 27, got some idea of how deep the anti-Lauren feelings run when she was booed by fans at a convention in California in September.
One fan reported on stephid.diaryland.com website: "Melissa actually got booed twice. She was asked why the fans were booing her and she said, 'They don't understand.' I was like, what the hell did you say? I was like, actually I understand. Everyone wants Vaughn and Syd together, see? That's why we hate her."
Now Alias fans are burning up Internet message boards and fansites with one simple request - dump Lauren!
Gatekeeper writing on the invisionfree.com message board says: "Repercussions (a recent episode) is so lame. It's trying to make us like Lauren. Well, it's not working. That character has just gotta go."
Tiff chimes in: "Lauren totally gets on my nerves. It's her voice. Who's she trying to be?"
Gkpfan loathes her: "I've never hated someone so much on a TV show! I hate her accent, hate her face, and after last night's preview clips, I'm gonna hate her more!" One fan who calls herself Sydney agrees: "Vaughn should dump Lauren. She's so ugly." While another notes of her acting: "Melissa George's eyebrows inflate."
To make things worse, petitiononline.com is urging fans to sign a letter to Alias's producers to have her fired. "The fans want this, and we deserve it," it reads. So far, almost 900 people have signed. Could Melissa's days working as a super-spy be numbered?
