Its not a praise worthy personality trait.

As far as her being loved by all, off the top of my head, i woud say amy, Tom, and Marvin disagree with that claim. Mauras entertainment value in the show i am watching has come from her role as playing the villian.

Maura is not girlfreind material. She is a freinds with benefits type at best and is one night stand material that you hope never figures out where you live or hang out at worst.

she has had a 9 year relationship which begs to differ

...I guess can understand why you would see Maura the way that you do...but I think for me, the first ‘telling’ thing was when Tom made his ‘money where her mouth is comment’...and she was so upset about that...?...that she’s someone who ‘adopts’ a confidence that she doesn’t seem to feel...it’s also been that in other comments she’s made...like how she imitated Francesca and her ‘poses’..to me, felt as though she just doesn’t feel that she can measure up to Francesca in some ways...?...she has such a vulnerability about her which I love.....while also having such a strong character and humour to entertain...she’s kind of the perfect reality TV package in a beautiful covering for me......

I personally love her. She's my all time favourite Islander.

I totally agree

I think she’s great and fab TV but she’s definitely overrated by the masses which I think lowers my opinion of her.

you don't need to look at others to choose your favourite though

I like Maura in as much as she has made great TV. Like Ammi, I don't think she is anywhere as strong and confident as she makes out or likes to think she is. She has a front and knows how to put up defences to mask her insecurities. She's a lot of fun too
