Neighbours- Characters that did not work.

Neighbours is riding high once again but it has had its bad characters in the past.

The Extension of the Parker Family proved unpopular in 2007, the second Declan Napier & the boring Michael Williams.

    The two children, Mental Ben and MickeyTheShit. Both beyond annoying. Mickey marginally worse due to his Parker connection.

    The problem with the Parkers was that they axed the Timmins family to introduce then. The Timminses were a colourful bunch of entertaining characters whereas the Parkers were so bland and boring without personalities. Their first storyline involved them feuding with the Kennedy's as well who are everybody's favourite family so they were never going to come out of that popular. The only interesting one was the wife's sister but even she seemed like a carbon copy of Izzy Hoyland and didn't last onscreen very long either.

    The Lim family

    After it was pointed out that Ramsay Street was the least ethnically diverse cul-de-sac on the planet, Neighbours producers came up with Chinese family The Lims. So, just how do you tackle the sensitive issue of racial diversity in late 20th Century Australia? You have Julie Martin accuse the Chinese family of eating her daughter’s dog of course – not to mention liberal Wayne Duncan suddenly becoming a dyed in the wool, ‘they come ‘ere and take our jobs’ racist. Poor plots and even poorer acting made the Lim family one of the biggest embarrassments in the show’s history. Within six weeks they’d packed up and moved to Eden Hills, to be missed by absolutely nobody on or off screen.

    Can I say Amber? :blush:

    Perfectly competent actress I think but there's only so many boy related storylines I can deal with. I can't remember her last storyline that didn't involve a member of the opposite sex. So so needy as well.

    Sunny ('Help! Help! I've fallen down a small slope!') was awful.

    The Donna's siblings were pretty rubbish too. I liked her Mum as it gave Elle a chance to sort her out for messing with her Donna.

    The Parkers. Who can forget the stilted " Oh no poor Libby" line.

    BentheShit and MickeytheShit

    The Hancocks

    Sunny Lee

    The Kapoors. Nothing more than a bid to try and show viewers they were inclusive of all races.

    Amber, Mason and Matt Turner.

    What about Sienna - the cousin of Carmella and she worked in the coffee shop.

    Totally hopeless actress and totally pointless character. She had no story lines and she ended up leaving to go abroad with a guy who was the guitarist in the band Rachel Kinski was in.

    Complete waste of a salary paying for that actress/character.

    Mason was axed but was Matt also axed? Also Marlene's dreadful man friend Colin back in 1995, he was awful.

    Carmella's cousin Sienna (arrive and leave without storyline so pointless)
    Mason Turner (never like him since he arrive, rubbish boyfriend to Kate)
    Mickey (annoyed and spoilt brat)
    Natasha (i don't care about her, including her fake pregnancy, end up travelling with Andrew)

    Annalise Hartman (sorry people, i never like her anyway, her mother let Paul's father Jim die)
    Sunny (I'm not a racist, her character is not good)
    Second Declan by Erin Mullally (He's really nothing like the original Declan by James Sorensen)

    The other one barely lasted a month.

    Big Kev did not last long as a regular.

    Somebody called Lisa too?
