When dodie tried to break up ginger and darwin! I hated her after that. I honestly do not care. There was no way to redeem her character. Macy wasn’t shit for going along with that either because what in the entire fuck?! Macy’s not a real friend either for that. Courtney was not the villain they tried to make her out to be. Courtney really did like, admire, and respect ginger. The second she found out what Miranda and Dodie were doing. She called Ginger and let her know what was up. called her on three-way and let them hear the whole plan. Courtney is forever my girl. Fuck dodie!

@jessicascreenwritingservices 3 месяца назад

Yes! Courtney was a real one! Plus she respected that Ginger was always her own person and didn’t follow the crowd. I’m glad Courtney exposed them. Ginger should’ve dropped Dodie & Macy for that. 🎯

@tierefuerimmer9635 2 месяца назад

Ehh... Macie is kind of like Zoe from the Proud Family, so she probably feels too timid/pressured to speak out even though she knows it's wrong yet it wouldn't be out of character for either Macie or Zoe to regret hanging around with ppl as selfish and toxic as either Dodie or Miranda or Lacienga, or Dijonay and make it up to Ginger or Penny. I feel like even though characters like Zoe or Macie tend to be timid and go with the flow, I also feel like they deserve a little sympathy for having low self esteem and feeling like pressured that they have to stick with their toxic friends.

That's a really weird episode too. Dodie had previously liked the idea of Ginger and Darren being together but soon as it affected her badly, split them up! But than, there is never any follow up to the end of the episode. They never speak of talking it over, that words were had or even a apology given after Dodie called Ginger. That's just so weird for a show which had good continuity.

@kou7191 3 месяца назад

@@Jay-gurl In following episodes Ginger only brushes it off with something on the lines of "let's not talk about it" so it implies even if she didn't forgive Doddie and Macie for what they did, she'd rather have bad friends than being alone. There was a lot to unpack there.

@danny___928 4 месяца назад

We all know a Dodie at some point in our life. As told by ginger is a great representation of how sometimes our friends are just as bad as the people who don't like us. It really do be your own people. Miranda was at least upfront about her dislike for Ginger. Dodie was the other side of the coin, yes she loved Ginger, but to what extent. Dodie was always in it for popularity and she was projecting a lot of how her mother acts. If you watch the episodes focused on Dodie's mom she was probably the Miranda of her teen years. Dodie was always trying hard, while Ginger was noticed as a diamond in plain sight for her kindness, good heart, and altruistic tendencies.

@aeoligarlic4024 Месяц назад

I don't think her mom is even a Miranda, she's a loser who still can't fit in with the crowd she wishes to be in

@tomboyangel78 2 месяца назад

You know what's ironic? I recall an episode where Miranda, in a later season, was actually nice to Ginger. The episode was about Ginger joining band in order to go on a trip to see Sasha, a boy she met at summer camp. When she found out he has a girlfriend, she is upset and goes into the bathroom to cry; Miranda, in a rare moment of kindness, goes in to check on her and actually talk to her about the situation, no hostility to be given. I might be remembering wrong, but its just sad that the Mean Girl of the show showed more support in 1 episode than the "best friend" did.

I also didn't realize how bad of a friend Dodie was until I was an adult! I love Ginger, and Ginger grows a lot throughout the series - earlier episodes she's a bit star-struck about Courtney and being popular, but that gradually fades as she gets more comfortable in her own skin and treats Courtney like a regular person. Dodie never grows - she only cares about being popular for the whole series and never becomes a better friend or better person

@zemox2534 2 месяца назад

I never understood why the writers allowed Ginger and Dodie to remain friends, after all the horrible things Dodie has done. The episode where Dodie tried to ruin Ginger's relationship with Darren should have been the last straw. Ginger should have cut all ties with her after that. For a cartoon that is suppose to be realistic, it was very unrealistic for Ginger to keep a narcissistic, back stabbing sociopath like Dodie around her and still call her a "friend". Miranda is horrible, but at least she does not pretend to be nice, unlike Dodie Bishop.

@jessicascreenwritingservices 2 месяца назад

Facts 💯 at least Miranda makes it known she doesn’t like Ginger. Dodie is worse because she pretends.

@Kaboomboo 2 месяца назад

I think it's meant to be depiction of someone being friends with someone simply because they've been friends for such a long time. When you're that young, your entire world is pretty much who your neighbors are and who you go to school with. So in situations such as those, a young person probably doesn't fathom that they don't have to be friends with someone and can cut ties with them. You're basically giving them more passes as one would, say, a family member. Once someone grows up and has more means to see more of the world, i.e. move out to a new place, or go to school far from home, they can cultivate better friendships and disregard toxic ones. The series finale suggests that Ginger and Dodie are still friends, but I'm sure IRL Dodie would end up either alone and/or trapped in a loveless marriage and bitter just like her mother.

@zinhlemakh 2 месяца назад

I had a friend like Dodie from age 9 to 20. It's not as easy as you think to acknowledge that your friend is toxic, especially when that means you have to cut them out of your life.

@aeoligarlic4024 Месяц назад

Not cutting her out is realistic enough for a middle schooler to do. We don't know if she might change later on either. There was an episode how dodie realizes she doesn't want to end up being like her mom, so maybe that's her (unexplored further) turning point On a side note i never understand why Courtney keept miranda around her either. She's no wannabe like Dodie, but she's never there for courtney during her vulnerable moments

Times Dodie's was a POS - Telling Miranda Ginger's secrets Revealing that Lois was going to be the nit nurse and then revealing the names of infected children. Her trying to break up Ginger and Darren. Trying to get Darren to cancel his birthday after her Karen mother forbade her from attending. When she hid the fact that Darren was cheating on Ginger with Simone. She fakes a leg injury to get on the cheerleading team and then (after Ginger finds out she is lying) she tells the cheerleaders that Ginger and Macie are bullying her. Inviting Courtney to their BFT funfair trip just to spite Ginger for inviting Darren. I am sure I have missed some but it is a long list.

@Crayolapup Месяц назад

I got older, and got upset when Dodie couldn't just wish the best for Ginger when she was going away to an art school for a semester. Made me mad, honestly. Made we wonder why Ginger still talks to Dodie. I guess maybe when you are 12, you dont know theres better people out there to be friends with... you just make yourself comfortable with what you are familiar with. I feel like friendships were different in the 00's too. People were less self aware. I had some pretty crappy friends in junior highschool. They just could never let me have anything good. I was bad at school and I tried really hard, but my friend always made jokes about it. In 7th Grade English I always did my homework and never missed an assignment. She got angry because she missed a few of hers. I started drawing more, and my friend who was also into drawing used to get jealous of me...? I drew Garfield the Cat in chalk on the beach parking lot, and she just was not happy. She nit picked at it. Then I drew Tails from sonic the hedgehog in chalk on the parking lot driveway at recess. She tried having me erase it saying that it needed to be cleared before the next group comes out to play... and I just refused and did not do it even though she kept insisting. Eventually we were pulled away to go inside and I saw the next group come running out. They all ran straight to my drawing. Some of them started kicking at it because 12 year old boy be 12 year old boying. lol. It honestly felt good to see that, though.

@Ruesen Месяц назад

It wasn't until Dodie tried to break up Ginger and Darren that I actually started hating her. I kept hoping they'd give her an episode to be redeemed or at least let her go full villain, because then she could be interesting. But no, she gets easily forgiven or hand-waves to let her still be considered a token good person. That said, it took me awhile to realize a lot of my childhood friends were... not good friends. One that never was around, one that despite how often we hung out, would turn on me just like dodie would the moment it would benefit her. Kind of glad I don't see them anymore. I just sort of wish the flash forward would not show Dodie being in Ginger's friend group anymore though, or at least, not a BEST friend. Instead, maybe just some flowered from Dodie to Ginger for he reading, showing she didn't show up, but at least had a token of good faith to send her regards. It would givet he proper imagery of a friendship that has soured, but not completely gone which I could accept.

Her dad's willingness to be unreliable and unavailable for the kids was said to have affected Carl, but the fact that she holds on to friendships because they had been friends since preschool could imply she's afraid of letting go of people who have consistently been there, even if they are not good friends. I had always said I never bought she would be friends with Dodie and Macie or be married to Darren.

@VocalFox 2 месяца назад

Dodie shows ZERO growth over the series. She starts off awful, she ends awful. I couldn’t stand her as a kid and I can’t stand her as an adult. She betrays Ginger again and again, shows her true nasty colors, never learns or changes her behavior, but is always forgiven for some reason. I always got the impression that she never truly cared about being friends with either Ginger or Maci. She tried to drop them at any chance she got if she thought she could climb the social hierarchy. She was just like her terrible mother. Even Miranda, as nasty as she was, acknowledges to Ginger that Dodie is a pretty terrible friend, and that is saying A LOT.

In As Told By Ginger, Dodie Bishop(played by Aspen Miller) and Macie Lightfoot(played by Jackie Harris) were Best friends to Ginger Foutley(played by Melissa Disney) for the most part until Dodie Bishop became the new Morning P.A. Announcer, spread Harmful Gossip about someone else, and revealed Ginger Foutley's Secret in the Episodes from Season 1 of As Told By Ginger, Of Lice and Friends and Cry Wolf. I learned something in the As Told By Ginger Episodes called Of Lice and Friends and Cry Wolf. Talking to your friends about everything doesn't mean you should spread Harmful Gossip about people because Harmful Gossip hurts and damages friendships and other people's reputations. Loyal Friends don't spread Harmful Gossip to damage someone else's reputation. Keeping Secrets of those who trust you is better than revealing other people's secrets, interfering in other people's lives, or sticking your nose in other people's business.

I like you! The way you speak slowly and you enunciate. I'm hearing impaired and the auto captions on RU-vid are terrible. So its so nice to be able to just listen to a video while im at work and not need to keep my eyes on the screen. Thank you! I am a subscriber now and look forward to your future success! ❤

At least, Penny held Dijonay's feet to the fire. Ginger never did that with Dodie. Dodie and Hoodsey's mom just came across as a type of Karen, so I wonder if Dodie got a lot of her personality from her mom.

Dodie definitely didn’t deserve Ginger, though I’ll say Ginger not immediately dropping her is probably realistic for someone her age. When I was in middle school I kept around some friends that probably didn’t deserve it, mostly out of loneliness

@laurenmalone8335 9 дней назад

Dodie should have definitely been cut out of Ginger’s life after she tried to break Darren and Ginger up. Macie was awful for going along with it but I think she just succumbed to peer pressure and I could see how Ginger could eventually forgive her but Dodie had several moments where she was a terrible friend/person before that and continued to have horrible moments after that. It would have been a great lesson for kids too, sometimes friendships don’t last and you need to cut horrible people out of your life.

I feel like Courtney Gripling(played by Liz Georges) and Darren Patterson(played by Kenny Blank) were better friends to Ginger Foutley(played by Melissa Disney) than Dodie Bishop(played by Aspen Miller)was because Courtney Gripling and Darren Patterson were more supportive to Ginger Foutley and understood Ginger Foutley Better than Dodie Bishop was, even though Ginger Foutley and Courtney Gripling had Minor Misunderstandings in the As Told By Ginger Episodes called Sleep On It, Hello Stranger, Summer of Camp Caprice, and Fast Reputation because Courtney Gripling was complaining in the Episode called Summer of Camp Caprice that aired on Nickelodeon in July 2001.

Dodie was horrible. She’d be better friends with Miranda.

Dodie was worse than Miranda (in my opinion). At least Miranda made it known she didn’t like Ginger. Dodie tried to fake it and camouflaged her true self.

@TECH097 4 часа назад

I have a lot of sympathy for Dodie. To be the daughter of Joanna Bishop is not a cakewalk. Sure Hoodsie was a far greater character morally but thats because he was unapologetically himself and found a kindred spirit in Carl. Dodie is too afraid to whoever her true self is which is why she seeks the approval of popular kids like Courtney, to the point where she dresses like Ginger in private. She's not a great person but with therapy she could easily discover who she is and learn to embrace her own approval over the approval of others.

Shows like this and proud family showed me that your best friends are the worst friends you can have, thus altering my mind as a pre teen and teenager to keep EVERYONE I knew at a distance, because that drama was 100% unappealing to me. And. I don't fully regret it. Like sure I don't have a lot of "life long" friends. But I have like 3 I talk to once in a blue moon and that's more than enough for me.

Same here! It's better to have a small amount of quality friends than to be around a large group of fake people.

I was the black girl who dated Darwin because his parents didn't like Ginger for him. ( Yes, they were black and want him with a black girl, I get it. ) I broke up with him in junior high. Years passed decades passed. Then I saw him in 2018 and .... we dated, got married, and we have a blended family. By the way he dated " Ginger " but it was too much. He admitted it was either his mother or " Ginger. " and he didn't choose her. But I known because I was creative, poet good student and athlete. I wasn't mean to anyone.

@smart.but.stupid Год назад

Miranda had this amazing sass and sometimes was just deliciously evil. And even then, she sometimes could've been a decent person and even a genuine help to Ginger (surprisingly, in the Ginger's Solo episode). Dodie is fake, obnoxious and self-centred. She is as insecure as Ginger, but lacks a good heart to make it work out in the end - and rarely gets called out by pretty much everyone. What I'm trying to say, Miranda is bad, but she's so much fun sometimes. Dodie is just bad.

@TheSlipperyNUwUdle 2 месяца назад

This show was really in a tie for worst friendships of the early 2000s kids shows with The Proud Family. Lol fake friends. But at least (from my memory of the show) Ginger was a decent friend. Penny was always doing her friend group as dirty as they did her.

It's really funny how perspectives change when you get older. I think Miranda does actually like Courtney but I think miranda likes Courtney more than she likes Miranda. Courtney turned out to be a better friend than Dodie. But we all had a toxic, fake friend like Dodie. I wonder if Dodie was kept around because she was a childhood friend? But she shouldn't have still been shown to be Ginger's friend later on. I hope she just sat in the front spot and claims to be Ginger's best friend.

@tierefuerimmer9635 2 месяца назад

Imo Miranda was worse if no different than Dodie, or was worse with Dodie coming in at extremely close second. The reason why I'm saying Miranda is the worst is because of how she treats Ginger in And She Was Gone. Not even Dodie mocked Ginger when she believed Ginger was depressed

@zemox2534 2 месяца назад

I will not defend Miranda or her terrible behaviour but at least she did not pretend to be Ginger's friend.

@tierefuerimmer9635 Месяц назад

@zemox2534 Yes. But an asshole is an asshole, regardless if they're honest about it or not. Plus Miranda, while being open about disliking Ginger, has been shown to be two faced several times. She would backstab Courtney at the drop of a hat when she was no longer popular and has used every underhanded tactic in the book to manipulate others into doing the dirty work for her. Don't get me wrong Dodie was by no means a saint, and is nearly as toxic if not just toxic as Miranda, but they're both people who Ginger would be perfectly fine without. I've been friends with a few "Dodies" and as well as one who was a combination of Miranda and Dodie who stopped being friends with me because of a petty reason- let's say I have Asperger's and wasn't up to their standards socially so they just suddenly cast me out and instead of telling me to my face they sent someone to tell me for them.
