Who is the most annoying fictional character ever?

[WomenHour]

I would say currently it's Geoff from Corrie.

Holden Caulfield

Didge from Neighbours

Not sure if it's been said but the book version of Hermione Granger.

Not her fault and she's still an awesome character, but in the book she is so relentlessly snappy and sanctimonious. I don't know if it's bad writing or if she's meant to be that way but she's always described at saying things impatiently, snappily or nastily.

Absolutely everyone in every Thomas Hardy novel ever.

Limp lettuces the lot of ‘em.

@Porcupine83

Victor Frankenstein and Bing. Both massively annoying, self absorbed, whiny and entitled.

I love that you have classed these together and I do not disagree.

Most annoying for me are:
Dawn from BTVS - she's written as if she was 10 rather than 15
Serena from Gossip Girl
Ross from Friends after season 3

Film Ginny..not her fault but way her character was written for the films. Just came across so bland!

Ross geller. Awful.

Meredith from Grey's Anatomy. Cannot stand her.

I couldn't watch Denise Van Outen's character in Neighbours. Or Fake Dee. And I find everyone in the Ozark pretty insufferable. Also agree ref. Dawn!

Also rooting for Cathy. I thought the whole point was they were a bit doomed by their birth/circumstances etc. Heathcliffe was driven mad/doomed to be evil by never being treated like a human being because he was an orphan, apart from by Mr Earnshaw who didn't notice Hareton beating the crap out of him and died early on.

Phoebe Buffet was the first to spring to mind.

Hindley not Hareton!

How has no one said Chase from Paw Patrol yet? Or Mayor Bloody Goodway and her sodding chicken. I hope one of the Catastrophe Crew eats that dim bird.

Also hell yeses to Mandy and Amy of The West Wing, and Craig/Cregg from Parks and Rec. Even worse than Jean-Ralphio.

Elena Gilbert

Peter from the Secret Seven - sexist snob who isn't nearly as clever as he thinks he is. He only gets to be chief because its his shed. They should have chucked him out, made Janet leader and let the spirited Suzy join.

I reread them recently, and I wondered how they ended up with Peter as leader. At least in the FF, Julian is oldest, which as a child, made sense.

In the first book, which isn't in the original series-I think it may have been published in an annual, I think it's Peter's idea, which is why he's leader. The first book I think is called something like "Mystery at the Mill".

Chalet School: Joey as an adult. Margot from about age 5yo onwards.
Amy March: conniving little thing. Never felt she loved Laurie, simply wanted him because of his money and to get one up on Jo.
Ginty Marlow
Roger Walker, and later Bridget. The baby obviously had to have everyone revolving round them. Nora has a similar tendency in Enid Blyton's Secret series.
Nancy "of course I didn't do anything-said modestly" Drew.

Dawson from Dawsons Creek.

What a fucking gimp.

He used the word discombobulated once. It's no wonder Joey wouldn't shag him.

YY to so many of these. Cosette was fucking annoying and Marius a limp biscuit for choosing her.

Bridget Jones and everyone in it. Load of insipid twats.

YY to Lucie in 'A Tale of Two Cities'. Bitch. Emma Bovary as well.

Rodion Romanovich Raskolnikov in Crime and Punishment. What an asshole.

Maybe Emily in Friends. Or Doctor Foster in Doctor Foster.

Tia Carrere’s character in Wayne’s World. Made my teeth itch

Ruby rhod (Chris tucker) from fifth element

Ashley Wilkes (Gone with the wind). Fucking drip and a male prick-tease.

The entire cast of fireman Sam except Sam, Penny and Radar.
Cathy from Wuthering Heights
Hermione Harefield from Jilly Cooper

Madame Bovary

Bing

Just thought of another.

Fat Bastard in an Austin Powers movie. I thought the film was very funny but he really did make me want to be sick. Which I know was the point but NO.
