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

@Arbadcarba I'm going to have to go back and reread the book as well. As a child, I never picked up on Cousin Helen's ex.

I always preferred Katy before her accident; she was much more fun. By the time she got to school in the 2nd book, she'd turned into too much of a clone of Cousin Helen.

@Andante57 , yes Northey is a total PITA. And Mitford thinks she's adorable.

Bella Swan. Well, any and everybody from the Twilight series, but mainly Bella. I still watch them, enjoy them and then feel shame about it though Grin

The Cocomelon baby. And the mother!

Ashley Wilkes. Stringing people along since 1861.

@Cocogreen

Amy March until Florence Pugh made her into such a funny character in the latest Little Women film - I thought she stole the show!
Yes! I hated Amy March so much, I usually skim read her chapters on a re-read and STILL can't believe that she married Laurie! One of the great literary travesties.

BUT the Greta Gerwig version was the first one that has ever made sense of it for me.

Yes it’s strange as NM sees her as adorable. One of NM’s correspondents (or maybe a reviewer) described Northey as an ‘arch shit’.

Did Jane Austen realise how annoying Marianne Dashwood was, or did she think she was adorable?

Andante57 · 22/06/2021 08:35

Sorry ‘strange that’ not ‘strange as’.

Tonks in Harry Potter, even the stupid name irritates me.

DameAlyson · 22/06/2021 11:50

Of course she did. The whole point of Marianne's character is that she has not enough sense and too much sensibility.

God, yes. In my loathing for the kids, I'd forgotten her.

The bit about Cousin Helen's ex comes in her first visit to the Carrs. Katy sits by while Dr Carr and Helen chat about Alex and his family, and afterwards asks who they are and Dr Carr explains the story.

PinusSylvestris · 22/06/2021 12:08

In Austenland Frank Churchill. So irritating all the way through.

PinusSylvestris · 22/06/2021 12:10

Amy March was quite an unflattering portrayal in the book. The real life sister she was based on sounds really interesting.

PinusSylvestris · 22/06/2021 12:11

Every character in Friends.

ZingDramaQueenOfSheeba · 22/06/2021 12:12

@PinusSylvestris

Every character in Friends.
🤣🤣🤣 why did you ever watch it then?
PinusSylvestris · 22/06/2021 12:12

I was young and taken in by the glib lines!

PinusSylvestris · 22/06/2021 12:13

I didn't watch the repeats! Or beyond the first few series come to think of it.

Needhelp101 · 22/06/2021 12:15

I'm currently rewatching Sex and the City (the series, not the abominable films) and Carrie Bradshaw really is the most self obsessed, whiny narcissistic idiot. And she ^skips^ far too much.

Aiden is also an annoying dick. As is Steve.

I like Harry though.

Does Jessy from Toy Story count? I literally can not stand her voice and leave the room!!!
