    Any unnecessary character who's added to a long established show in an attempt to boost ratings.Any child of the late 70s/80s will agree that Scooby Doo went downhill when they introduced his nephew Scrappy.An annoying little git who added nothing positive to it.

    The introduction of Scrappy was so cruel. It forced us to ask huge questions of Scooby. For example, if he was Scrappy's uncle, why couldn't he talk like him? What was wrong with Scooby? Learning disability? Brain injury? Scooby was some sort of genius until that annoying little bastard came along.

    Not so much unlikeable but Curtis in Misfits has to be a contender for the most dull character ever written. His sole purpose was his power which allowed for handy resolutions (and one very good episode where it was the focus) but he was so boring.

    Anthony Soprano Jnr is easily the worst TV character of all time. Terrible character and terrible actor. And I'm a HUGE Sopranos fan. Just cant stand him.

    I quite like Raquel. I thought her character was well written he interaction with Del formed the basis of some classic episodes. Cassandra is terrible though, and very badly acted by Gwyneth Strong.

    However, I couldn't disagree with you more about their contribution to the series. They were introduced when John Sullivan went to the long format episodes and introduced more dramatic elements. That's when the series really took off. The continuity between the longer episodes really enriched the show.

    What killed tit stone dead was the final run of episodes. They should have stopped when they became millionaires.

    Yeah Cassandra was terrible,largely down to the actress.I have to say when it comes to Only Fools I always prefer the Grandad era.I forgot to mention Damien,Del and Racquels son.He added nothing to it and the whole hatred thing that was developed between him and Rodney just wasn't funny.Yes the last few specials were just woeful.I don't know if was the last in the series but the last one I remember watching was the one with the illegal immigrant in the back of the van who kept saying "Gary".That whole episode was an embarrasment.

    It funny, I suggested Carmela, someone else suggested Meadow, and now you're suggesting AJ. I guess the only likeable Soprano is the womanising murderer.

    Damien and that whole 'Omen' thing felt very tired. And his Ali G style jokes in the newer episodes were dead on arrival. Only Fools was from a different era, but it only felt old when it was trying to be topical. And yeah, the 'Grandad era' was hilarious stuff. I can absolutely see why people prefer those shorter episodes, because they were just distilled comedy. Joke after joke after joke.

    I know that The Sopranos was full of amoral sociopaths but I found Christopher a very unlikeable character.The way he treated Adriana,his moody tantrums,selfish,bullying behaviour and constant self pitying whinging.And his shooting of the guy who was in the scriptwriting class with him was totally unjustified

    Some great nominations so far, have agreed with many. I'm going to add Bebe, Frasier's agent in Frasier. Any episode she is in, gets skipped. Horrible grating voice. Didn't find her so annoying in Desperate Housewives for some reason.

    Another vote for Carmella Soprano. What a loathsome character.

    Also a vote for Hodgins in Dads Army. Never liked when he made an appearance. I mean they were perfectly capable of cocking it up them selves. He didn't really server a purpose.

    I could an entire thread of annoying characters in the West Wing(And Im a west wing fan). Mandy from season 1 probably gets the premium vote though.

    Lilly in How I met your mother. Ted, in the same show, may have been slightly creepy and desperate, but Lilly was just manipulative and cruel.

    Barbara from Gotham. Ugh, terribly written recovering drug addict, maker of stupid choices, and creepy.

    I could not stand Walt Jr / Flynn in BB. Every scene he's in is woeful. Good idea for a character but just hated him. And not believable at all.

    Chris in Sopranos is an utter scrote. As is Father Phil Intintola. Dirt.

    Maybe not the least likeable ever, but on any rewatches I find the main man himself Tony Soprano to be absolutely loathsome. Violent thug, bully and sycophantic criminal. He really has very few, if any, redeeming qualities.

    I really wish the kardashian family were fictional, cos the whole troupe of them would be number one least likable in my book.

    I must say I didn't see the sycophant in T. The opposite in fact. Violent criminal for sure, sociopathic misanthrope definitely. Not so much of sycophant though.

    ya skyler hate is somewhat justified but her character kind of developed a bit towards the end. Flynn/Walt Jr. was a totally underdeveloped... but I suppose every character can't be a playa!
