History FieryRedhead / LiveActionTV

* ''Series/Black Sails'': Anne Bonny and Captain James Flint. Both are redheads, and happen to be a couple of the fiercest and most skilled fighters out of all the characters. They're also incredibly loyal to those whom they've decided to love, and are extremely passionate about their beliefs.

* ''Series/DaysOfOurLives'': Melanie Jonas (formerly Melanie Layton Kiriakis). Despite being downright saccharine at times, if you get on her bad side, she'll ''really'' let you have it. Also, since she's about to gain her sixth love interest in less than three years, she definitely qualifies as an example of HeroesWantRedheads. Her ParentalSubstitute Maggie also fits this trope.

** [[Recap/DoctorWhoTVMTheTVMovie Dr. Grace Holloway]]. HeroesWantRedheads, evidently, if only to go on adventures with and maybe kiss a little.

* ''Series/GreysAnatomy'' and ''Series/PrivatePractice'': Addison Montgomery - former Montgomery-Shepherd. She's also pretty successful with men (Derek, Mark, Alex, Kevin, Noah), so she's also an example of HeroesWantRedheads.

* ''Series/{{Castle}}'': Castle is surrounded by fiery redheads (with varying degrees of redness): his spacy but tough mother, his sweet daughter who isn't afraid to tell him off when necessary, and his police detective partner who is an ActionGirl with a gun. In fact, as Beckett has [[DefrostingIceQueen defrosted]] and become much less icy and abrasive, her hair has [[http://www.ctv.ca/beimage.asmx?imgurl=files/2013%2F2%2F4%2F82dab96f76c5e751_600x338_castle_beckett_then.jpg softened]] from a deep red to brown.

%% Image selected per Image Pickin' thread:

* ''Series/StrangerThings'' has an interesting bag for redheads, as of Season 3 there have been three redheads: Barb Holland, Maxine "Max" Mayfield, and her mother. As a {{Tomboy}} who playfully calls her boyfriend "Stalker" and pushes against the norms for Hawkins girls while contending with an abusive stepbrother, she plays with this but proves to be as resilient and strong she she aims to be. Her passive mother has the same haircolor but averts this trope as a UselessBystanderParent while Barb Holland rarely expresses anything more hotter than annoyance at her friend cavorting with a bad crowd and becomes a tragic aversion.

** Mel Bush had red hair and was loud due to being played by ScreamQueen Bonnie Langford.

* ''Series/{{ER}}'': Many adjectives could be used to describe Dr Kerry Weaver -- many of them complimentary, and many decidedly less so -- but "wimp" and "pushover" are decidedly not among them.

* ''Series/{{ER}}'': Whatever Kerry Weaver's numerous flaws were, no one could say she was a wimp or a pushover.

* ''Commander In Chief'': Vice-President Mackenzie Allen was encouraged by ''everyone'' to resign when death by aneurysm got a hold of the President. Instead, she took the Oath of Office, won the country, and was generally a spitfire who shouldered the responsibility of the Presidency without getting drunk on power - and God help you if you stood in her way. Fiery Redhead, indeed!

* ''Series/Reba'': Both the title character (with her anger at her ex-husband's second wife giving her a heart attack at her daughter's wedding) and her DeadpanSnarker teenage daughter Kyra fall firmly into this trope.

%%* ''Series/{{Farscape}}'': Jool and Sikozu.

%%* ''Series/Reba'': Both the title character and her teenage daughter Kyra fall firmly into this trope.

%%* ''Series/WillAndGrace'': Grace Adler sometimes qualifies.

* ''Series/TheAmazingRace'': Jaime Edmondson and, to a lesser extent, her team-mate Cara Rosenthal.

* ''Series/{{American Gods}}'': Mad Sweeney is a male example, he is always angry about something and loves to pick a fight.

* ''Series/CovingtonCross'': Eleanor Grey.

* ''Series/{{Defiance}}'': Irisa Nyira, played by Creator/StephanieLeonidas (who is not red-headed in {{Real Life}}). This leading to this comment IMDB: "Is it wrong of me to find her more attractive as an alien than the actor behind it?" and the reply, "Proof that redheads are just better?". Irisa is possibly also an example of the "Big Eyes" part of trope {{Big Eyes Little Eyes}}.

** Donna Noble, who was probably the loudest companion yet (but that's not necessarily a bad thing). One character refers to her as being "all red hair and fire".
** Or the just-as-loud Melanie Bush.
** Dr. Grace Holloway. HeroesWantRedheads, evidently, if only to go on adventures with and maybe kiss a little.

* ''Series/EastEnders'': Bianca Jackson.
* ''The Edge of Night'': Raven Whitney.

* ''Series/{{Farscape}}'': Jool and Sikozu.

* ''Series/FirstWave'': Jordan Radcliffe.
* ''Series/FraggleRock'': Red, with her extreme tomboy nature, her...very high self-esteem, and her dominant personality (which itself causes numerous conflicts), plus her own explicitly stated desires ("The Tale of the Triumphant Princess" anyone?).

* ''Series/ILoveLucy'': Lucy Ricardo -- 60% screwball, 40% spitfire.

* ''Series/LegendOfTheSeeker'': Jennsen Rahl.
* ''Series/{{Lost}}'': Charlotte.
* ''Series/MadMen'': Joan.

* ''Series/{{Merlin|2008}}'': Queen Annis.

* ''Series/{{Picket Fences}}'': As seemingly the sole female cop in the boy's club that is the Rome Sheriff's Department, Deputy Maxine 'Max' Stewart definitely fits the prototype of the fiery redhead. She's determined, passionate , ambitious, outspoken at times and quick to anger.
* ''Series/Reba'': Both the title character and her teenage daughter Kyra fall firmly into this trope.
* ''Series/RebeldeWay'': Marizza. Her hair's more dyed than a natural red, but she fits this trope to a T.

* ''Series/{{Suits}}'': Donna Paulsen.

* ''Series/WhatILikeAboutYou'': Tina.
* ''Series/WillAndGrace'': Grace Adler sometimes qualifies.

* Sgt. Krystina Breeland of ''Series/XCompany'' is not so much fiery as just badass. She's generally calm and collected, but is [[spoiler:not adverse to kicking some ass and even torturing a prisoner for information when the situation calls for it]]

** [[InvertedTrope Inverted]] with Shannon, who has red hair but is very gentle and reserved. Also, she's ironically the [[BrainyBrunette Brainy Redhead]] to Maddy's [[FieryRedhead Fiery Brunette]].

* ''Series/Wolfblood'' has two redheads, Jana and Shannon.

* ''Series/Wolfblood'' has two redheads, Jana and Shannon. Jana is a straight example--she's a redheaded, wild Wolfblood who has a hard time controlling her temper. When in wolf form, her fur is red like her hair.
[[InvertedTrope Inverted]] with Shannon, who has red hair but is very gentle and reserved. Also, she's ironically the [[BrainyBrunette Brainy Redhead]] to Maddy's [[FieryRedhead Fiery Brunette]].

* ‘’American Gods’’: Mad Sweeney is a male example, he is always angry about something and loves to pick a fight.
