I would say currently it's Geoff from Corrie.

Donna in Mamma Mia is annoying particularly in her youth double standards, shallow and self centred

Why would anyone be too young to know about The Famous Five? You don’t only read books published after you were born.

Indeed. Too often people confuse history with memory.

It's one of my biggest pet hates.

I think you've mistaken this for Toddlernet...

All my dc have read FF and loved them. So have most of their friends.

Quentin fucking Coldwater from the books, the TV series version is not so bad.

In fact, all of the Magicians books, yes, yes, we get it, it's Harry Potter meets Narnia with sex and drugs and angst, but blegh!

Yet people remember the others. Famous Five have been discussed at length here and we're not all in our 70s.

@LadyMonicaBaddingham

Everyone in Sweet Valley 😂

In particular Elizabeth Wakefield, just as much of a bitch as Jessica, but refuses to admit it. Plus everyone is inexplicably in love with her.

Henry Higgins (smug git)

The dad on waffle the wonder dog.

I agree with Lorelai Gilmore and Richard Gilmore (thanks to a pps interesting take) but Rory has had a whole town worship her from birth. It’s a miracle she’s not committing genocide by now.

Becky Sharp.

Ashley Wilkes.

Count Vronsky.

The woman in Eat Pray Love isn’t fictional but she’s certainly annoying.

Goldilocks.Angry Theiving, trespassing little vandal. I'm glad the bears eat her, it's all she deserves.

Yes to this! I love the Roald Dahl version of Goldilocks. He doesn't mince his words about her!

Carrie Bradshaw is indeed a real piece of shit.

See also: Becky Bloomwood. Just get an IVA and stop being so self indulgent.


In the first two books Becky Bloomwood was quite endearing but the whole helpless and irresponsible bit began to get pretty tired.

Adrian moles mother, Pauline . Self centred and rather hopeless

Alicia John's from Enid blyton's Malory Towers. Way worse than Gwendoline Lacey and so many girls admired her!!!

Didn't mind Rose in Titanic generally but at the end when they on the door.and waiting for the lifeboat, I just wanna shout out "budge up! Stop hogging the door!"

I’m sure many like me did have a strong dislike for characters Ross Geller, Carrie Bradshaw (and most of their friends and partners) at the time but could suspend it to enjoy the shows. Helen Daniels I barely remember but ur so right whosever said that!

Except there's been quite extensive discussion of her already.

The youth of these days ... they never take the time to read a thread properly, do they?

Definitely Carrie Bradshaw. Always in restaurants and she couldn't hold her knife and fork properly!
