there was a classic example on this on the old series 'ellis island'.
it was a good series, but there was this one couple that should never have been.
guy chased this girl who wanted to be on broadway more and in movies..
hounded her and hounded until she married him and then he started in on the baby rabies... until she gave in, with the caveat 'only one'...
the child died in some epidemic, so he carried on once more to replace the dead child. at that point she walked out...
I'm sure a loooooot of people would look at her as bad; she was always up front that she did not want kids, she wanted her career..
Only minor detraction from a fine piece of tv work.
