I just watched Wild At Heart and I hate Veruca. She's an animal, a B*** in heat, after Oz just because he's another werewolf.

I hate her.
 
How can you hate someone who´s (kind of ) responsible for the whole Tillow thing?!

Ok, I didn´t mean that. Of course you don´t like Veruca. You´re not supposed to. Her whole existens (as a character) is about breaking up Oz and Willow. So how can we like her? Your second sentence sums it up pretty good. But at the same time where was something special about her. But yeah, I didn´t like her.
 
I'd be surprised if many people actually like her. She was designed to he hated. She was manipulative and selfish, and then of course there was the whole homewrecker thing. If she hadn't been all of those things, then some problems would have been raised. If she'd been like Oz--likeable, normal when not a wolf, funny--then when Oz cheated, the viewers might have remembered that time Willow kissed Xander, and we might actually end up sympathizing with Oz for the way Willow reacted, because technically he can't control his actions at the full moon.

So yep, she sucked, but she had to.
 
She was very sexy (not in her wolf-costume, however... even the new and not-quite-improved Ozwolf looked far better), but definitely not a likable character.
 
I did not like her either, but that was more due to her way of behaving and communicating opposed to actual actions she did.
 
She was the heel of this episode, if you had liked her, Joss screwed up.
 
I hated her singing voice (i know she was mimeing) and her facial expressions when she sang. So annoying.

Yeah, like JCC said, you were supposed to hate her. I loathed the character, since, when I first watched it, Willow and Oz were my favorite Buffy couple. Now, I have to thank her for provoking the wonder that is Tillow.
 
As a person - I hated her.

As a character - she was BRILLIANT. Although if she'd been around for more than a few episodes I'd have expected them to give her a bit more depth, cause she was pretty 2-dimensional. But since she wasn't, I think she was very well written and decently acted (some of the actress' mannerisms drove me nuts).
 
Sexy!?!? Really? I love seeing sex appeal in other women, really I do. But Veruca? I thought she was almost entirely sexless. I really enjoyed this portrayal of her and thought she was amazingly well done. Oz thinks she's sexy, willow finds her intimidating, the audience wants to hiss every time she's on camera!

Yes. I hate her.
 
I'll go with HATE.
But, it's not all about Veruca as much as she hurt Willow. And there was a band chickie like her that I was HORRIBLY jealous of with an old boyfriend of mine.
It turned out a lot better than it did for Oz and Willow, (Like neither my boyfriend or the girl appeared to be werewolves and he never did cheat) but the dislike was there and I know how Willow felt with her around.
 
I *love* to hate Veruca. I too thought she was sexy, manipulative, cruel. She pulled it off - that whole animalistic nature thing. And I liked her voice/singing. I loved that Oz "ate" her to save Willow from her. Yeah, good stuff! :bite-cha:
 
leethehost - I would like to hear the difference between the two... I thought they were the same thing! Silly young thing I am.
 
Veruca was sexy, I loved her singing, overall she was a great character in terms of writing and acting, but she broke up a core-four relationship and hurt both Oz and Willow so yup, hated her for the obvious reasons.
