    An obvious choice, but EE's Ferreiras were dire.

    The Musgroves and Gordons - Brookside

    The Mortons (bar Theresa) - Corrie

    The Lims - Neighbours

    The Roscoes - Hollyoaks (although I like Joe, for purely shallow reasons)

    Current ones
    CS the Nazeers I cannot stand that family with Kal one of the most boring and annoying people currently the dad who just walks around spouting rubbish, Yasmeen the most annoying of them all she infuriates me so much. Then there's Alya who doesn't do anything.

    Then HO the atrocious Roscoes the most wooden actors Freddie shocked face Roscoe Ziggy I should be in made in Chelsea Roscoe and Joe I am the hardman Roscoe all awful except the twins who are quite good and definitely the best actors from them lot.

    Then the awful Sharpe's with Clip clop Gabby Amber and the other one that boy who everybody has forgotten the only reason they are memorable is due to the clip clop which came from Gaby.

    The family itself - two of the kids were Scottish, the mother sounded Brummie and the father and step sister were posh! Hideous!

    I watched their first episode on YT a couple of weeks ago and had completely forgotten that they had different, and unexplained, accents. It was as you'd imagine a painful but totally hilarious watch on a period of ED that we shall never speak of again. :D

    And barely interacted with any other characters, apart from Rodney (or so it seemed).

    He was in so much of their first episode. Must have drawn the short straw to get lumbered with the family who surname no fan remembers, they are just called 'the soapstar family' and everyone knows what you on about. I remember watching their first episode and then it went a soapstar extra show which then seen them get a contract extension. I knew even at a young age it wouldn't end well, adults are soooo stupid innit!

    It was the Calder-Something family I think. I remember the Scottish boy was called Craig Calder and Mum was Maggie Calder who had scenes exclusively with Rodney and/or Kathy.

    The Marsdens in Emmerdale, the father had an affair with Louise and one of the sons had a heart defect. Carl was responsible for the other sons death when he fell off scaffolding, think it was the first of many deaths Carl played a part in.

    I think the dad and daughter was called Weston.

    Just remembered the Daggerts in Emmerdale! They were awful! Danny and Latisha and mother Cynthia.
    Emmerdale seems to have more than its fair share of the worst soap families!

    HO - The Roscoe's. Although I agree with the person upthread who said the twins were OK.
    Neighbours - The Parkers. Ned was bad enough, but harmless, but once Neighbours became The Bridget Parker Show, it was almost unwatchable at times.
    Emmerdale - The Macy clan. Not the current line up, who I quite like, but when his now-dead daughter, daft wife and boring father were in it. There were a piss-poor replacement for the exciting Wylde bunch.

    I liked Danny, and glad that he was kept on for quite a while.;-)

    Agree about the others though.
