they all are but hil espech as with peyton one minute you love her then you dont and one minite you wanna punch her in the face and the next you jus wanna hug her

I think both Hilarie and Sophia are great at making you connect with their characters! =]

hands down...bethany as well...

and hilarie

I don't know but I really feel connected to Hayley sometimes. But then again I adore her.

Yeah, Bethany really connects with the audience, but because she's stuck to the hip to Nathan, Jamie and their little 7th Heaven "problems" then we rarely get to see that. That's why I picked Hil. Sophia's amazing at it too, however I think she peaked in S3's finale.
The boys... yeah, sometimes.

I've already admitted that Hilarie portrays Peyton character in such an imaginitive, complex way that It's just impossible to hate her like I used to. I really feel connected to her, and partly because I feel related to her. Hilarie is an amazing, talented, beautiful, actress and I think that NO ONE could play peyton near to as well as hilarie does.
Haley, although I adore her, I just don't feel as strong a connection to- although she is my favorite.
Peyton is my third favorite character, after Haley and Brooke, but I still can't use that as an excuse to say that they make me feel what they feel like Hilarie does, although I think both Hilarie and Bethany are both breath takingly talented and beautiful.
:)

no doubt

hilarie is just breathtaking. she really stepped up in season 5, and acted to her full potential.

bethany is amazing as well, you can really tell what she feels, just with her facial expression.

sophia is obvious good as well. i love how she can be so happy and so emotional, she stepped up in season 5 as well, with her mom and that. :)

definately <3

peyt definitely.
