Who is the most annoying fictional character ever?

[WomenHour]

I would say currently it's Geoff from Corrie.

Mr Rochester.
Hide a wife in an attic and piss off with a younger model.

Geoff in Corrie at the moment.
However my DD 16 has said Marianne from Sense and Sensibility.

Kingscotestaff I see your Ginty Marlow and I raise you Patrick Merrick. Sanctimonious so and so and horrible to Nicola, I never understand why Ginty was the baddie of that storyline. I'll throw Giles Marlow in there too.

Can I throw in Pam Marlow? So stony broke that Nick might have to leave Kingscote, yet thinks nothing of buying herself a thoroughbred horse and hiring an extra servant in the holidays even though she already has Mrs Bertie, doesn't work, and all her children are old enough to look after themselves and have regular household chores.

Marmee in little women
Galadriel in LOTR
Most women in David Lodge books
Estella in Great Expectations
Tiny fucking Tim

The uncle in Home Alone he was nothing but a bully!

@Pelleas

Claire Abshire from The Time Traveler's Wife

Her trust fund that allows her to fanny around being an artist isn't good enough - Henry's got to win the lottery so she can fanny around in a mansion instead. And yes, we know she has red hair. It's mentioned 40 times in every chapter.

God yes I loathed that book. Claire was awful and Henry was a nonce!

Good shout whoever said Bella from Tweenies!

I'd have gone off with Ned Flanders long ago
Shudderino

certainly pelleas!

Homer is an alcoholic child abuser and Marge is deeply co-dependent. It's a shit show, but wasn't that always the point of The Simpsons?

Jar Jar Binks

Emily from Friends.

Awful awful awful

Phoebe from Friends

Awful awful awful

Pissed myself laughing at Corrie Geoffs 'what? the 80s popstar?' moment tbf

Dawn Summers actually WAS written as a younger child IIRC - then they didn't adapt the scripts when they cast Michelle Trachtenberg, so she does come off as whiny and immature. That said, I don't mind her that much. I mean, she's actually only a few months old and all her memories are fake, soooo I kind of give her a pass.

Having hated Susan in Desperate Housewives when it was first on, I started rewatching recently and didn't mind her... But now on Season 6 and remembering why I hated her. She's bloody awful in this season, no empathy for anyone and insufferably smug about getting Mike back.

Agree with pp who said Ally McBeal.

Manny in Modern Family I find quite annoying. I don't find his lechery and supposed quirkiness endearing at all.

Owen Meany

Oh, and Tom Scavo, for so many reasons. I think his crowning moments was when Lynette had cancer and he moaned about how she wasn't thinking about how hard it was for him AND SHE APOLOGISED.

Danaerys Targarien, followed by Joeffrey (sp?), Cersei, Sansa, Arya.
I used to hate Andrea from Walking Dead, but I actually got to understand her character, and then everyone in that show, or even worse, Fear the Walking Dead, is extremely annoying.
The main character in The Killing, the American version, could not stand her.
All the Desperate Housewives from season 3 onwards.

Jane in the Phil Rickman Merrily series.

@WellThankyouAJPTaylor oh my God, yes, Tom Scavo! Completely forgot about him! What an absolute donkey dick that guy was. Lynette was always my favourite so the fact she was with that idiot made me cringe.

Also every single character played by Ellen Page, she had the most annoying smart ass one more manner of playing. Also always plays similar chatacters. Add to that Jesse Eisenberg and it's the stuff nightmares are made of.
Also the blond guy in the Danish The Rain!

Sanctimonious Charlie from Casualty. I wish he would just bore off.

Carly in The Inbetweeners.Haaaaate her

Another household who stopped watching Walking Dead after Negan's arrival.
Meredith Grey and Amelia.
Keith Lemmon
I am aghast at the mention of Carter from ER

Oh just remembered Abby Lockhart

Not sure if he has been mentioned but Grandpa Joe, Charlie Bucket's grandfather in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
He lays there immobile for most of the film, happy to be waited on hand and foot by Charlie's utterly stressed out mother. Then as soon as Charlie whips out his golden ticket, he CAN WALK AGAIN!
Benefit cheat springs to mind...
