Just wanted to say thank you for this post. I was rewatching Jekyll today and dreaded Mrs Jackman's appearance. My friend, without much thought, began calling her names that exaggerated her needy, whiny, sexual existence ('Fancy a fuck? OOOH TOOOM TOOOOM DOOON'T LEEAAAVE MEEE TOOOM', blargh!). That said there are female characters in Jekyll that I love and the writing is so camp and funny I seem to excuse him for her. Hyde after all is the main attraction and he sure delivers.
