I would say currently it's Geoff from Corrie.

Nancy from Stranger Things. Unbearable.

Also Ross from Friends. So annoying, so controlling, I was screaming 'STAY ON THAT PLANE!' at the end.

I agree with the pp who said Tom Good; self-righteous, pompous, selfish. I think Richard Briers said he was the most annoying character he’d ever played. It really pissed me off in the last episode that Jerry offered him a job (as the Good’s house and garden had been trashed) and HE FUCKING REFUSED. He’d rather have him and Barbara live in poverty for the sake of HIS beliefs, because he basically didn’t want to work in a “normal” job anymore. I mean, I sympathise in a way but he irritated me so much. I love Margo though!

Another vote for Becky Bloomwood. Embarrassingly, even though she's an infuriating character I still enjoy re-reading the books as Sophie Kinsella is amazing at writing comic scenes, but Becky never seemed to grow up, even when her selfishness had massive repercussions for others, and so got progressively more annoying with each book. I think the author should have stopped after the first book tbh.

@TheSeedsOfADream I felt the same it was awful. They should have just left it.

As a child I couldn't stand the cowardly lion in the wizard of oz.

Aladdin I couldn't stand him as a child. He just lies to get what he wants.

All of the friends main characters they are just horrible.

Another vote for Becky bloodwood from the shopaholic series so shallow and empty but everything always just magically falls in to place.... Spoilt and indulged by everyone.... I did read shopaholic and sister and was over joyed when the sister finally put her down but it didn't last long....

Any of the simpering female lead characters in a Sophie Kinsella novel...they put feminism back 100 years, each and every one of them.

Oh yes Fenella Gina ruins every scene she’s in. I was made up when she left but she keeps bloody reappearing with idiotic storylines.

talkingkrustydoll · 06/09/2020 19:24

Haven't seen the newest ones but Spider-Man. All he does it whinge. Maybe I'm heartless I know his uncle died because of him but come on! Stop bloody moaning.

Arturo in The Money Heist! So so so annoying.

Paintedmaypole · 06/09/2020 19:26

Sue Bridehead and Eustacia Vye, women written by a man and fickle as hell. Anna Karenena, read it at 20 and thought she was a romantic heroine, read it again at 50 and wondered what waswrong with her. Mr Collins.

Harry Potter
Donald Trump( He must be fictional, nobody could be that unreal)

@Cocolapew omg, it put me off watching The Fall. Try too hard sexy breathy crap. The whole thing was style over substance

SilentBob · 06/09/2020 19:35

Bones from...well, Bones.

SunsetBeetch · 06/09/2020 19:37

Ross from Friends is the absolute worst.

Dawson from Dawson's Creek (Andi was a bit of a git too).

Both of the Gilmour Girls - I never got the appeal of that show.

Beautyoftheirdreams · 06/09/2020 19:45

Agree about Mandy from WW, also Ainsley Hayes was incredibly irritating.

Blippi.

Dawn in Buffy...know she had people dying and being a key drama etc but the way she was written...I think even the actress was unhappy with it at one stage

Lucas Scott from One Tree Hill...happy to cheat...got annoyed when Brooke did whatever she did but always made out she was in the wrong while he was in the right. Such a annoying character!
