Poor, poor June, one thing I actually like about this series is its honesty about how some people are blessed by love and others get absolutely screwed.

Are they blind?! She's not that beautiful. I guess she's beautiful inside if you ignore the fact she married solely for money.

I love how the English cast ordinary women into roles as great beauties solely based on their talents as actors. In America, beautiful women would be cast into the roles of ordinary women, at least if it's as lead actresses.

Soames is much hotter than the other guy.

@Ezrateach THANK YOU. You said everything I was trying to say but couldn't. Reading a lot of comments, it was very easy to spot people judging Irene through a modern outlook, in effect being narrow-minded.

I did not know Vanessa Redgrave had a brother that acted.

@mariagonerlj Agreed. This Irene isn't ugly at all, but she's BORING. She's like a grey splotch that apologizes for her existence with every move she makes and speaks with a whiny voice. I find my attention wandering whenever she's on screen, so it is strange seeing her getting so much attention from the men!

June is the sweetest person in the whole series. And she is the one who gets the rotten deal. Everybody else gets what they want in one form or another. She gets screwed not once but twice. Three times if you count when her dad walked out on her.

People seriously need to quit talking during church services. So disruptive

I think when people object to this Irene's looks, what they're REALLY objecting to is her severe lack of charm. I think she's a handsome looking woman-- not delicate or gorgeous but definitely of a type that could be appreciated by men. But she is SUCH a cold fish that it's amusing to see men being bowled over by her when there is just so little... *there* there. I can see her character working if only she had a little charm or wit or sparkle... but as it is, she comes off as as much too stiff!

@Ezrateach THANK YOU! Some of the comments on here are definitely viewing the character of Irene through a modern slant. Yes, she could have tried to meet Soames half way, but imagine you didn't even LIKE your husband. Imagine that he was selfish and cold and thought of you as an object. Would it be that easy to "make the best of it"? I'm not saying Irene is right and Soames is wrong--it is a mess they made together--but the Irene hatred shocks me a little.
