12 'Hart of Dixie' Lemon Breeland Burns That Prove She Is The Most Biting Southern Belle Ever
Hart of Dixie, I am just not ready to quit you. The show is taking its final bow soon, and with it will go some of the sweetest, most well-rounded characters on television. And the one I think I'll miss most (not counting Wade Kinsella's abs) is none other than Hart of Dixie's Lemon Breeland. Has there ever been a more funny, competent, compassionate and terrifying southern belle depicted on TV than Lemon?
While her evolution from the catty antagonist and romantic rival for Zoe Hart into independent business woman and sort-of-friend to Zoe Hart has been nothing short of inspirational, it is her amazing ability pack so much attitude and judgment into a single sentence with all the sweetness of a Miss America contestant that makes her my personal hero. Whether she is telling her friends how to live their best lives, her family how to run their affairs, or her enemies how to get the heck out of her way, the terrifyingly diabolical Lemon is a force to be reckoned with.
There are so many reasons to adore Hart of Dixie, and Lemon's one-liners are one of the best. It's near impossible to capture them all (you'd be better off just binging the show on Netflix), but we have captured 12 of her most fierce zingers to remember her by.
