Purple Realm

Ah, tv shows. Teams of writers cramped into small, humid rooms combine everything they've ever seen, heard and thought of, much like dreams, to create a fictional life with its own backround, life story and personality.
Once created, the parade of thespians begins, lines read and emotions high to find a perfect fit to bring the person made in scratchings on paper to life.
It can be a lengthy process, or remarkably quick. Some say it's luck, others say it's fate. Perhaps the work of tiny green pygmies that are sustained by the mechanics of acting?
I say it's probably all three, and sometimes the combination of the thespian and the words on the paper become something rather special indeed - and I shall detail one of these for you now.

October's fictional character:
Name: Joy Turner (Was Hickey, nee Darville.)

Appears in: My Name Is Earl.
Played by: Jaime Pressly.
Random Character info: Joy is your stereotypical white-trash American patriot. Small-minded, selfish and vain, she appears to be very shallow and self-centered. She has two children, Dodge and Earl Jr, whose fathers are both different and one is unknown for quite some time.
A troublemaker by nature, never knowing when to shut her mouth, she's a very interesting character to watch. As time goes on, Joy reveals a little more depth, but don't worry - she's still just as loudmouthed and so hilariously politically incorrect as ever.
Why I love her: She's just so enthusiastic about things. She insults pretty much everyone and sees no problem in it, and the whole world revolves around her. Her dress sense is so damn trashy, she's fantastically wrong about world affairs, and, in fact, most things in life, which makes for very entertaining viewing. Oh, and her facial expressions?

Priceless.
A few quotes: "You know they say mosquitoes in Africa kill people. Can you imagine the size those things gotta be?"
"Hey, Lance Armstrong! Don't you know ridin' bikes gives you nut cancer? Hahahaha!"
"Let me introduce you to my family of many colours. As you can see, I have a white son and a black son. But I don't see race, so I can't tell which is which."
"Ya'll stop fightin'. I swear to god, I'll slap you so hard you both switch colours!"
"He made me late for my Brazilian, which means that if I go into labour now, I'll be all stubbly on my home video!"
