I've always been fascinated by her, even though there's not much to be endeared by. But what are your opinions, how could you describe your feelings towards her or your impressions....

Would really love to know

I like Catherine. She's the closest thing TP has to a mainstream soap-opera type villainess, with her constant plotting and scheming. But I couldn't abide that whole plotline of her making Josie work as her maid. That was just awful. Very sitcom-y.

Also, even though I usually don't go for women that much older, I always thought she was kind of sexy. But maybe that's just me...

she's great. Piper is fantastic. Even in the god awful subpar stuff in second half of season two, her delivery always made it tolerable and fun. I was always sighing relief saying, thank god a Catherine scene.

I agree with William on the Josie/maid plotline - very 80's-sitcom style. For my money though, Piper's portrayl of Catherine, was one of the finer acted high points. She played a great villaness, and was very believable.

Catherine is probably my favourite female character, apart from maybe Audrey. She manages to come out of every situation with her head held high, has a damn fine brain in her head and has some of the funniest lines and actions in the series. Cue turning Leland's despair into a dance move. She's also just a little bit sexy.

Thanks for the older pic, Pineweasel.  Before Twin Peaks, all I really knew her from was "Carrie".

Ummm, haven't any of you seen The Hustler?

Meeting her last year was perhaps the highlight of the past decade for me.

I always loved Catherine.  I'm fond of the villian.

 Ummmm, no.  Most of us are not that highly evolved yet and I don't watch anything prior to 1988.
