Most Overrated Soap Characters?
Julie Goodyear's participation in Celebrity Big Brother reminded me of the Bet Lynch from Coronation Street - in my view an awful character who's popularity I could never understand.
Others are Liz MacDonald (dreadful from beginning to end) and Raquel Wolstenhulme. No doubt other will violently disagree. Any other nominations? |

Dennis Rickman - I thought he was OK at the time but his squeeing fangirls have vastly hyped him out of all proportion since he was killed off.

I agree Liz MacDonald was dreadful... thank god she is gone!
EE - Dennis Rickman... he was ok I suppose but I found Sean Slater much more interesting for some reason.. EE - Sharon Rickman... I just don't see how she is so wonderful..... Personally she is bottom of my list of soap favourites ![]() EE - Ian Beale... I just don't find him that interesting and I can't sympathize with him, now Max, he is a great character. EE - Pat Butcher... Much preffered Peggy, infact I much preffered any character.. I just didn't find her very likeable I don't know why, she just annoyed me all the time. Amazing last episodes though I will give her that ![]() EE - Cora Cross... Many people praise her on this forum yet all she ever does is judge people and put them down at any given opportunity and doesn't own a single mirror to show what a nasty, drunken old trout she really is. I'm sorry but she is the queen of awful I'm not going to say any more right now I might boil over and explode

Leanne from corrie. Great actress but the character acts like she's a saint when it's just not the case!

Becky (Corrie) and Stacey (EE). Two characters who pretty much went round in circles, getting themselves into huge messes then played the victim after the fact. I liked both, but I think they represented the modern sensationalised, instant gratification aspect of soaps rather than being genuinely great characters.

Max Branning.
I do not see the appeal! People say Tanya drags him down but I think it's the other way around. People also say he will never develop until Tanya leaves the Square. Well when Jo was on maternity leave he did hardly anything apart from shack up with Vanessa and have scenes with Darren Miller. I don't rate the actor either. |

Leanne Barlow, Peter Barlow and Carla Connor. Overused and annoying characters, just go round and round in circles. I know Peter and Carla are on a break and Leanne hasn't appeared much, but it seems like they are going to be appearing much more when they return.
Becky McDonald: didn't get much of the love. She was another character that went into circles, continuously getting drunk and being over the top, didn't find her pleasant to watch. Its obvious the producers tried to make us feel sorry for her by making Tracy blame her for the miscarriage, and giving her a happy ending. Just a pity they had to make the character annoying for the best part eh? I guess her getting drunk and losing her cool was keeping to the character, but I just found her annoying. Not that I have anything against Katherine Kelly, she seems like a nice person in real life. It was just the writing. |

Kat Slater
Tanya Branning (I really like Jo but Tanya does my head in) Ronnie Mitchell Stacey Slater Basically any female that EE has shoved down our throats for the last 4 or 5 years. When better characters and actresses have been left in the background like Denise etc Carla Connor Peter Barlow Leanne Battersby They ruined those characters for me during their never ending love triangle which I've read isn't over when Carla and Peter return... Great actors but circling the drain when it comes to storylines. All Dingles in Emmerdale. |

Dennis. Take away his looks and I bet he wouldn't have been a quarter as popular. Love is blind, so it seems.

Ronnie Mitchell, got fed up with her constant dramas and shouting. And sometimes it appeared to me that when God was making her face he went to answer the phone ...
Jean Slater. Seriously, I cannot abide this woman and her shrieking and jumping up and down, or her wittering on about daffodils and puddles and fresh bed linen. Go away already. Tina in Corrie. someone else who is adored and worshipped when sh eis possibly the least likeable person in soaps. Always right even when she's wrong. and why she wasn't sacked or even 'talked to' about tipping a drink over Dr Matt is beyond me. Maria Connor. I don't see the point. She's had some meaty storylines over the years but she never makes me feel that I care. She lost a child, and yet within a few days she was off on holidays with Liummmmmmmm and never showed a flicker of grief or sadness or despair. She had the attempted rape storyline which she handled very clumsily. I just felt extreme annoyance instead of sympathy. She just doesn't convey anything in her acting so I find her a totally unbelievable character that I really don't care about Phil Mitchell. I don't feel the love sorry. Nasty chubby little man with a bald head that turns red when he's angry/drunk/melancholy/dyspeptic/amorous .... just always varying shades of red. Yes he's funny when he's drunk, but I just hate that he does so much vandalism, bullying, intimidating of other people and their homes etc, and not one person ever phones the police or presses charges. |
