Why does almost everybody hate Marina?
You can say all you want, but I think if she was around for more than one season she would have more followers.
She "lied" to Jenny and made her fall in love with her having Francesca in her life and knowing that Jenny had a boyfriend. She also played Tim (who was no saint and was aggressive towards her). It was bad, but Jenny was not forced into doing anything. There were characters that did worst things and almost everybody likes them. Bette cheated on Tina, Shane cheated on Carmen and left her on the day of their marriage, Dana left Alice for Lara (she went on a "date" with Lara when she was with Alice). I love them anyway.
Marina had things that made her a great character, and I was sad that she left the show. The accent was sexy, she was elegant, intellectual and very friendly. She was a predator, different than Shane, she brought another perspective to the show. She was dependent from others (Francesca, her husband),her life was a mess, and that could lead to an interesting storyline. I loved her conversations with Jenny. They were a good couple, that was separated too soon.
I think that if Marina stayed for more than one season, almost everybody would love her.
