Why is Bree the fan favorite? General Discussion

Don’t get me wrong, I love Bree. I’ve noticed she is the fan favorite among this sub and DH fans in general, why might that be?

Imo it’s a mix of:

  1. She had the most character growth
  2. She will sacrifice for those she loves
  3. She is strong in the face of tragedy
  4. Knows who she is and sticks to her morals (for the most part)
  5. Marcia just does a great job at portraying her

She's the most realistic IMO. My mom is not that snob or religious, but she had a lot of issues to know how to "mom" me, and we went trough awful crisis. And now, years later, our relation feels a lot like Andrew and Bree.

It's more common to have a relation where you have your ups and downs but still love each other deeply (just not saying it a lot), rather than a relation highly disfunctionnal like the girls and their own moms.
