User blog comment:KidLego09/Beth - Thoughts and Underrated?/@comment-25297892-20141225101809

Honestly Beth is that kind of character that I call "Plot-depending". With this term I mean a character that needs a plot to have something to offer, otherwise by herself she has nothing, really no relevant details or quirks to distinguish, that is the same problem of Zoey. Both are really generic, they're friendly to people and..stop. Beth is just a little nerdy compared to Zoey, and this is the main difference. Plot dependers are such terrible characters:they're boring, needs interactions and plots to be likable, and has a personality whose shape is inconsistent. Before you get onto me, think at Beth's storyline.

TDI: she entered in the alliance of Heather ad was nothing until she riot against her...that's something everyone, no matter which personality he/she has, would have done at that point, so don't worship her for this because it means nothing to determinate her character. Put Cameron in her same situation and you'll see a similar development.

TDA: she was given a main role that didn't deserve really. First of all, what about all those suddenly skills she had in this season and never shown before?People blames Zoey for her unjustified skills in TDAS...but Beth did quite the same. Secondary, standing by herself she's too boring to get the screentime: just friendly to everyone, nerdy in general and blabbing about her Brady 50% of the occasions. Don't hate me, I liked that she got a major role, it's cute when you remove your braces and suddenly become important, but again this is a plot and not a characterization. A good character doesn't revolve entirely on his/her same plot. Remove all the TDA storyline and Beth would appear as a Cameron 2.0

TDA was her brightest only occasion to shine, but she failed being unable to shape herself apart from the plot given to her. We remember Noah for his sarcasm, Justin for his vanity, even Katie and Sadie for their sticky friendship, but Beth?For standing against Heather and Courtney. See the difference? She was given plots but never a true personality.

By the way, most important thing...Merry Christmas to Everyone!
