I am inclined to agree with you, Lee. Celia Porter was very realistically written by John Finch. All of us probably know someone who resembles Celia in her self-centred spitefulness. She was the one character that fans loved to hate. Poor Harry Porter, who
had resigned himself to suffer the slings and arrows of being married to her. His only relief seemed to come during his sweet, heartfelt discussions with his daughter-in-law, Margaret Ashton Porter. </div>

<div dir="auto" style="color:rgb(33,33,33); background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">I thought Celia the most Brillant, complex and well devised character. I quite often felt deeply for her despite her behaviour her obsessive love for her son quite common, in fact. </div>

<div dir="auto" style="color:rgb(33,33,33); background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">Margery's portrayal was very good. Despite their strained relationship, both Celia and Harry remained together. The love that was there in the beginning must have been strong. Harry
seemed at several points tried to reach Celia but without success but I think Celia loved him despite everything, maybe deep down in her consciousness.</div>
