Hate is too much of a strong word for me.

Though if I disliked anyone on the show (that was generally liked overall), it would have to be Carol Jackson. I have my moments where I sympathise with her but on a whole, I find her a overbearing control freak. I'm no fan of Whitney, but I think Carol's treatment towards her has been awful.

Lindsey is a fab actress though, no question about it.

Graeme from Corrie, Craig Gazey isn't a great actor and the character is very repetitive, nothing unique or cool about him.

Stacey Slater. I wanted to feel sorry for her but just couldn't. She grew on me through the whole bi-polar story but over all I didn't like her very much.

Max Branning. He uses people with scant regard for the consequences until the proverbial hits the fan and they won't have anything to do with him. He then spends ages worming his way back into favour, only to repeat the behaviour again. He is like a male drama queen - addicted to drama and never really happy with his lot. His one saving grace is that while he is super selfish in adult relationships, he is a good dad to his daughters (does he ever have Oscar?).

Becky McDonald- Shouty villian who everyone loves and forgives soo easily.

Aaron Livesy- He does one emotion in my opinion and hasn't proved to be versitile just yet to me.

Brendan Brady- Cool guy but highly bandwagoned, esepcially since Warren Fox's return. His oddity in my opinion is just bad acting sometimes.

Marlon Dingle- The most over rated in Emmerdale... his only use is to have his 'amazing' double act and hand gestures plus his 'my wife died' scenes as well.

Paddy Kirk in Emmerdale.

I don't think everyone hates Max, he's one of the most popular characters on EastEnders. My pick is Abi.

I don't hate him, but I'm not a fan of Max Branning at all... so I'd have to say him!

Eastenders

Stacey Branning - overused to the extreme and a truely horrible personality, every day in EE without her is bliss.

Syed Masood - started well but has become a weak, whiney little man who follows Christian around like a lap dog, get him a life or some friends at least.

Tanya Branning - repetative storylines (getting back with Max, breaking up with Max etc etc) and lately she's been so smug and bitchy she needs a good slap.

Coronation Street

Becky McDonald - overused and always has Steve covering for her when she dosen't deserve it.

Eileen Grimshaw - i always think she's a bit of a cow and always plays for sympathy.

Emmerdale

Chas Dingle - always so smug, i hope Carl does take revenge on her.

Adam Barton - lately has come across as a whiney, sponging gold digger.

Hollyoaks

Brendan Brady - strange mannerisms and the constant whispering is annoying.

Myra McQueen - she's funny but sometimes i just love it when she's put in her place.

Home and Away

Ruby Buckton - such a little mare that needs a good slap instead of so much understanding all the time for her bratty behaviour.

Neighbours

Rebecca Robinson - i don't warm to her in any situation.

Donna Freedman - extremely boring now all her wackiness has gone.

I don't hate her but i'm not a huge fan of Jane from Eastenders - I just don't really know who she is or care about her even though she seems quite popular.

There aren't very many female characters that are likeable on Eastenders. They are either completely selfish, self obsessed shallow types or weak willed doormat types. The writers have ruined most of my favourite women and can't seem to find at least one balanced woman. They do exist!

I didn't even think of mentioning Roxy, I didn't think anyone actually liked her. Probably my least favourite character in all the soaps, there isn't any redeeming feature that I can see.

There aren't many obviously likeable characters but when they've got their faults any good trait they show is just magnified. I love Ronnie, Whitney, Bianca and Janine - even though they aren't instantly likeable they are interesting, probably the best way to be.

I liked him first time round but this time no, whereas everyone else seems the opposite
