For me it's that woman in the vest top who spits her coffee out all over twitter

Carly in Sneaky Pete and the daughter (blanked her name) in Ozark

Carrie Bradshaw - I cant beat watching her around men, she’s so fake and cloying.

Anne of Green Gables - entirely too fucking enthusiastic about everything.

All the characters in Little Women.

I love Jane Austen, but Emma Woodhouse.

Jane Austen knew people wouldn't like Emma: "I am going to take a heroine whom no one but myself will much like."

Agree on Fanny Price, though. I had to do Mansfield Park for A Level and it was the unanimous opinion of the class that she was wet. And Edmund was a bore and a prig.

Anastasia from 59 shades though that might be too obvious

Peoniesandpeaches · 22/06/2021 01:40

Oops apparently I found 9 extra shades of grey [grey]

Keith 🍋Lemon

Changechangychange · 22/06/2021 01:50

Amelia Sedley - Vanity Fair - yet another wet hen

But if she wasn’t, Becky Sharp gleefully fucking her over, repeatedly (because she is too fucking wet to tell Becky to fuck off after the first time), wouldn’t be half so entertaining, would it?

@mrselizabethdarcy

Bridget Jones...so bloody annoying!
God, yes.

Beth from Little Women is no prize either.

PerveenMistry · 22/06/2021 02:19

Oh and Jean Pargeter from As Time Goes By.

I adore the show for the other characters but her "archly winsome" persona is so fucking annoying.

Where I live they show two episodes per Saturday night for about the past 25 years and I love it but she is tiresome.

@MangoSeason

God in the Bible. He really is an unsufferable narcissistic abuser. Violent, emotionally abusive, needy, sexually abusive (yes, Mary said yes, but is was hardly from a position of equals was it?) Wiping out whole cities of people, including newborn babies because they didn’t worship him enough. Wtf is that? Constantly setting up traps for his victims to prove their loyalty to him. I mean, he is just dreadful. Butt hurt all the time if he is not getting enough attention. Jesus was a lot more decent but still not great. Telling the woman he saved form stoning to “sin no more”. Well, she wasn’t sinning- she was feeding her family the only way she could. The Bible will always be the greatest work of literature though.
@MangoSeason - have you read ‘the gospel according to Jesus Christ’ by Saramago? He shares your opinion of God
PerveenMistry · 22/06/2021 02:40

The second Mrs de Winter.

Cocogreen · 22/06/2021 02:54

Amy March until Florence Pugh made her into such a funny character in the latest Little Women film - I thought she stole the show!

ohnoisaid2much · 22/06/2021 04:04

Ross
Rachel
Monica
In that order

BastardMonkfish · 22/06/2021 04:09

Elizabeth out of Poldark. He's married to someone else love, get over it?!

BastardMonkfish · 22/06/2021 04:13

And Mr Poppy. Totally ignores safeguarding rules and gets the kids unnecessarily wound up about the nativity play.

IndecentCakes · 22/06/2021 04:19

Bridget Jones in 'Mad About the Boy". Ugh. Just ridiculously idiotic and incompetent, even with a cleaner and nanny.

Matildatoldsuchdreadfullies · 22/06/2021 05:28

I actually don’t mind Mary-Lou.... but the Robin is a different matter. I reckon there was a nun of the most sadistic variety there.

Eminybob · 22/06/2021 05:32

@SuperLoudPoppingAction

Piper from Orange is the new Black. In the first series she was closer to the actual author but as it went on she just got completely unbelievable.
Yes! She was awful. I always wanted Alex to ditch her and get with Nicky. They were my 2 faves.
heidbuttsupper · 22/06/2021 05:39

Borat
Ali G
Anything involving Keith Lemon

@Smokeymirror

Elena from vampire diaries. Has all the boys wrapped around her finger and everyone always has to help/save her all the time.
I'm not sure she was to blame for Klaus and the like coming for her tbf Grin
okeydokeywokeyblokey · 22/06/2021 05:49

June/offred from the series. Was fine in the book but omg her stares and mad actions and long pauses before something really mundane is said drive me mad. I felt sorry for Elizabeth moss thinking that she was being mis directed, but saw a later dire episode through to the bitter end and the credits said she directed it!

Tara336 · 22/06/2021 05:53

Tess of the Dubervilles just a total wimp

AtlasPine · 22/06/2021 05:54

Everyone in Wuthering Heights.
Definitely Tess of the D
The sister of the headmistress in Little Princess
Casaubon in Middlemarch

Flakeymcwakey · 22/06/2021 06:04

Ronald Weasley in Harry Potter. Books and film. Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia. Actually most of the characters in Star Wars, robots included.

KurtWilde · 22/06/2021 06:05

Dumbledor I just can't stand.
Anastasia and Christian from 50 shades.
The entire cast of Twilight apart from Jasper
Phoebe from Friends
Any character in a British soap
