Soap Characters That Annoy You

Kim Fox in EastEnders is probably near the top of the list. I don’t get easily annoyed but she just sets my teeth on edge instantly!
I like Gemma in Corrie but can’t bear how she talks with her mouth full.

Theo in Corrie. Awful!
Also cannot stand Leanne.

Eastenders has to be Teddy and nicola without a doubt! Stupid pointless characters and terrible acting
corrie it’s definitely Theo, a strange character…

Mandy Dingle..the story lines are pure guff.

Most of the characters in The Archers! Pip probably tops the list for me.

Kim Tate annoys me sometimes as she always seems to have the same facial expression

Gail Platt
Sally Webster
Insufferable both.

Fizz in coronation street. I can’t stand her

simsbustinoutmimi · 05/08/2025 21:18

Deedee. The hospital were negligent, not racist. She makes everything about her being black. Nobody cares that she’s black…

jackiesgirl · 05/08/2025 21:28

Victoria in Emmerdale. Exists just to interfere in other peoples business

You clearly do.

Is Friends a soap?

If so - Phoebe ! Manipulative selfish attention seeking jealous cow !

Fizz
Eileen Grimshaw

aw ffs. Always one.

she is a person but a lot of her storylines revolve around her skin colour. POC are more than their skin colour. It’s not her fault it’s the idiots writing the scripts. While there is racism in medical treatment (and other stuff) my point was that Corrie portrayed it really badly, and in true Corrie form it’s all been forgotten.

I've never liked Maria.
Her squealy whiny voice drives me crazy, still after all these years.
I've been surprised for decades that she's still around.
DS Lisa Swain, I see nothing particularly likable about her and I don't like her and Carla together they have absolutely no chemistry, it's just so unbelievable as to be dead boring.
I didn't like Craig very much (RIP) I don't know what it is about him I didn't like but I didn't like it.
Eileen Grimshaw was starting to get on my nerves. I didn't not like her for a long time but then in the last few years, well I'm just glad she moved on.
Dee Dee was interesting enough in the beginning but now she just seems kind of pouty and miserable maybe she supposed to be but I don't find it very endearing or deserving of sympathy.
Theo, not sure what the purpose of his character is going to be, but I don't like him with Todd, Todd deserves better.

Oops forgot one, Nina Lucas.
What can I say about Nina.
What can anyone say about Nina?

Milliejacksonhouseforsale · 05/08/2025 23:15

Craig Tinker.. Britain's unlikeliest copper.
Wee bit further back .. Ashley the butcher that fucking voice 🤯

Abi In Corrie. There’s no way a mechanic would have manicured nails, and how can she have so much botox when they are meant to be skint. Plus, they seem to forget that she’s got a toddler, she’s always going to the pub or to shag someone, without a thought for child care.

That’s reminded me that I can’t be doing with the way Kevin says “ Abbie” & “ Debbie”

Nick Platt is also insufferable. And he always looks like he's got a massive migraine or the worst case of constipation EVER.

Ena Sharples and Albert Tatlock in Coronation Street. Not enough room in Weatherfield for a God-fearing busybody and a terminal curmudgeon.

Milliejacksonhouseforsale · 09/02/2026 20:04

Ena Sharples had a face that could've turned milk sour through a lead lined door.
