Oh, wow. I'm so late to the party, but this is an awesome post and I can't let another page go by without a mention of Lynda Day from Press Gang.
She was my, and many of my friends', idol as a teenager and young 20 something. She was driven, tough, neurotic, caring, sarcastic, funny, cruel, intelligent and fantastic. In other words, an incredibly well-rounded teenaged female character. She was everything I wanted to be and occasionally still wish to be. Stephen Moffat has my eternal love and goodwill for creating Lynda Day.
Also, JJ from Criminal Minds. I love all the women on Criminal Minds, but what I love most about JJ is her quiet competency. She's good at her job and gets it done quietly and efficiently. And more importantly, she sees her job as important and doesn't have a secret yearning for a more glamorous role in the team. And can I give a massive nod to Criminal Minds for allowing the women on the show to have friendships free of bitchiness and competition. It's refreshing.
