Soap characters you want to smack!

Tupins

There are always annoying characters or vilains on soaps which are there to provide storylines and we're not supposed to like every character - that's what makes it more interesting.

But sometimes a character develops to be so annoying that they'd nearly make you stop watching the show.

For me it's David Platt - a former winner of Best Vilain at the soap awards but lately has turned into the most spoiled, selfish, immature, smug and infuriating brat. I just cannot stand to watch him anymore. Everytime he get's brought down to earth he resurfaces more smug than before - aaaaaaahhhhhhh

(Yes, I know it's not real but for the purpose of this topic.....)

Who else would make you switch over?

I want to smack Ian Beale from Eastenders. He's an ugly, skinny, evil, moaning, money grabbing miser who makes his whole family truly unhappy. That leather jacket and the bluetooth in every episode annoys me to the core.

David Platt, Coronation Street, the guy's a [word removed] :mad:

Mary D

I agree with the David Prat one. I also can't stand the one in fair city, Heather. She has about 3 expressions and uses them for every situation. She always looks stunned by what the other actors have just said to her, worst actress ever.

that new girlfriend of Dev's (Coronation Street)...looks like a crazy frog!:eek:

Not only that, but what about Dev's uncle? And why, when he met the uncle, did Dev have to start talking like Peter Sellers?

That wanker William from Fair City a while ago! :pac:

I'd actually nearly give him a smack if i saw him in the street - although i know he doesn't exist....as in his character....i'm sure he's very nice in real life...ahem...:D His voice CREEPS me out big time

jos28

Any member of the Platt family. Probably hit Gail first, especially when she does that stupid lovey dovey look. Creepy !
Give Dev a slap too, the Coronation St writers have turned him into a panto dame.

Rosie Webster in Corrie. She really bugs me with her piercing mad looking eyes and her total diva attitude. And what really gets me is the fact that her parents don't see anything wrong with her and how she behaves.

I once saw an interview with the actress that plays her and she is basically the same in real life - all pouty and 'look at me'.........scary!

Dominic in Fair City

StroppySu

Heather in Eastenders... I'm all for putting "comedy" into soap opera's, but lets please keep it in some way realistic people!! Her clothes, the fact that she acts like a 6 year old etc etc :mad:

ohanloj3

Oh my God there are so many characters in all the soaps that drive me crazy

Eastenders; Ian, The Massuads (or however you spell it), Archie, the winger-can't remember her name but shes Ronnie's daughter

Coronation Street; Gail, Dev, his uncle and girlfriend, that new hairdresser, Norris and his girlfriend

The new hairdresser in Corrie is an unbelievable pain alright. She's so desperate and gobby. As for Eastenders, don't know her first name but Massuads wife- such A Little Mrs. Perfect wannabe-don't know how her husband has put up with her nit picking and pedantic ways for this long.

Stephen P

Has to be Gail in Corrie for me too, the last time I saw a mouth like that it had a hook in it.
Ali (sp?) from Fair City bugs the sh!t out of me. Her voice is irritating and she can't act for sh!t!

Ronnie, Roxy and Danielle in Eastenders.


Una, Ali, Leos new love interest, Turlough in Fair City.


Belle in H&A really really annoys me.

Ann22

1. Ken fcukin' Barlow - I'd love to kick him in the face....what an assh*le..and your one in the boat-what a boring individual..drown the two of them, that's what I say:mad:
2. Gail is just asking for a good hard slap too...with all her compulsive blinking and peeping up through her fringe at your man, trying to be all flirty:rolleyes:.
3. Sally, words fail me...I just can't bear her:(.

BeansMeansHynes

Oh god! Where to start.

I have given up watching Corrie cos I dislike so many of the characters

Gail Platt and the stupid faces she makes

Norris, Rita and Emily. They drive me crazy.

Sally Webster.......

Liz behind the bar and thank god they got rid of Vernon! He drove me demented.

Ken & Deirdre Barlow - Eugh that womans neck

Hmmmm I could be here for a while talking about Corrie

The only one I despise in Fair City is that Annette the Solicitor one! :mad:

Eastenders: I think the only one I dislike is Heather. She is always moaning and complaining.

I feel sorry for Billy. Is he ever going to be happy in it?

Lorrs33

Coronation Street - Gail, Tony, Michelle, Liz, Deirdre, Janice.

Eastenders - Ronnie, Archie, Peggy, Heather, MAX (god that guy is irritating!), his daughter who can't sing, not Lauren, the other one, the Masoods, Ian.

Emmerdale - Lexi, Aaron, VICTORIA (whiney effer!), Nicola (used to love her), Diane, Andy, the Wyldes, PADDY (no way could he get someone like Chas).

I think the best question is, who would I NOT hit, the list is a lot shorter

tinkerbell

Lol, I just watch Corrie - Gail (those batting eyelashes, aaargh!!)

David drives me mad too but he's amusing!

Ken acting the whole playa these days with his bit on the side.

Who really bugs me though? That idiot who is Kirk's gf, she does my head in!! Aargh such a busy-body!!

Oh I forgot Deirdre and Norris! Urgh!

One of my favs is Blanche, she's hilarious

tesslab

Corrie has so many i cant watch it without feeling physically ill. Ken & deirdre should be shot in the face. And whats the deal with Bill! Why is he there??
I would happily dance on your one Pam's head. And emily and the rest of the coffin dodgers should be long gone.
Eastenders most annoying is ian beales son! Such a lick a**e! UGH! :mad: Bianca is so ugly she makes me sick. and she is wearing those grey leopard print jeans and spaceman puffy jacket for bout 10 months now. Do they need to be surgically removed at this point??

useful_contacts

Eastenders
.....................

Ian Beale - Money hungry little leech everytime i see him i wanna kill someone

Dotty Cotton(grandaughter) - She is some little physco, and last night when she was slagging off Tiffany and the little good as gold head on her, god i felt like giving her a belt.

Heather - Ok so your overweight- STOP WINGEING AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! moan moan moan -"i cant get a man" "Im fat" Jesus get over it!!!! And the PUS on her now cos Minty has a new girfriend. Jesus!!!

Corrie
...........

David Platt- Physco - only word for him

Graham - He just bugs me acting like a retard- that stupid trick he played pretending Freds hats possesed - what a gob****e

Dev - Vain- rides everyone, self explainatory.I mean is there anyone on the street he HASNT shagged!!!

Uhmed - Whats the point of this guy- he talks nothing but crap , says that Tara is using Dev for money all the while living off Dev and paying for nothing

Sally Webster - thinks shes gods gift and better than everyone else.Miss high and mighty "my rosie this my rosie that" trying to live her failed life through her Kids. What a bitch!!!

Dalouise

Coronation Street - Ken Barlow for being Mr boring, Liz for being a slapper, Norris for being a waste of space;
Emmerdale - the entire cast, plus the writers who must have been replaced recently with a bunch of morons;
Home and Away - all the women in "deep meaningful relationships" after the slightest acquaintance, plus the mouthy one in the cafe whose voice sounds like a metal knife held in a fan;
Eastenders - I gave up on that one years ago.
Fair City - I gave up on that one after three episodes when I finally realised it wasn't a spoof. Sadly, I am meeting one of the actors tomorrow. :rolleyes:

emeraldstar

Belle in Home & Away. Oh my God, I.Hate.Her.

And pretty much every single one of the Fair City characters. I cannot watch that show for a minute.

saz89

i cant believe noone's mentioned charlie from home and away????
most pathetic excuse for a human being anyone has ever come up with, the one who plays her always has a stupid pained look on her face that could only come from watching herself try to act. and now suddenly she's gay? seriously like?

Agree 100% - but I must admit to pangs of disappointment when it became clear that, after she'd conned Dev into posing naked for a photographer, she was going to renege on her promise to get her own kit off. :mad:

shbwap

Katie in Emmerdale...smug bitch who never does anything except look pretty and chase after every new guy in the villlage. was delighted the other day when Ryan drove off and left her standing at the side of road...serves her right.

Oliverdog

Sophie Webster. Quite apart from anything else, she's got a bone-idle Manchester accent which means I can't understand one word in twenty that she says (and I'm from Liverpool!).
To my great surprise, on Monday in the Street Party exercise, she jammed a six-inch lolly ice in her mouth, and suddenly I could understand every word. Out it came, and bingo, incomprehensible again. I'm very troubled that we're going to be at a disadvantage when

Sophie adopts Lesbianism in an upcoming storyline.

I was also very disappointed in David's beating last week - he seems to be recovering from his injuries much too readily for my liking.

DublinWriter

The entire cast of Hollyoaks.

That is all.

I cant stand Becky in Corrie.... she over acts everything. HATE HER
