I seriously dislike

Rhona
Laurel
Vanessa
Megan
Katie
Chas
Preeya
Kerry
Rachel
Ali
Debbie ........all so unlikable .......

I use to really like Rhona and Laurel ....but through affairs they have being ruined .

I always disliked Vanessa and Megan .

I can see why people dislike Debbie ....

They have made Chas so pathetic and weak through Cameron .

Katie is a dull character .

There is a few good likable character to invest in.....but the majority of them have become so unlikable IMO..

Excellent OP. Gennie was nice indeed but gosh she was dull imo. There really isn't one female character that's got that sparkle or something of intrigue. Funnily enough, was just talking to another FM about Kim Tate - now she was likeable for all the wrong reasons.Incidentally, the girl who plays Preeya - how did she get that job. As for her Dad - the only one that can (almost) act out of that family is Jay. Even June Akland, as she will always be known, is miscast.

whose idea as well was it to put Katie as lady of the manor? it's an insult to Home Farm.

Rhona has never been very likeable but I think the addiction has made her very interesting. Her behaviour is appalling but addiction can turn the nicest person into a monster. Rhona didn't have an affair btw.

Laurel - ruined

Vanessa is brilliant. I love all her inner conflict, desperately in love homewrecker, drug supplier vet.

Megan is a no mark

Katie is boring, should have been axed a long time ago.

Chas - she's been through a lot. I am sure she'll get her mojo back once Cameron is out of her life. However if she chooses to protect Dobbeh over getting justice for Gennie, it will be the end of the character.

Preeya - I don't dislike her.

Kerry - Brilliant train wreck played by a brilliant actress.

Ali - Grrrrrrr

Rachel - no mark

Dobbeh - what can I say that I haven't already said a million times.


I would add Moira to the list. Totally ruined character.

The same person who thought Maurel was so so so romantic.

I remember Preeya from her Grange Hill days.

I like Chas - I hope she'll get back to her old self soon.
Moira, I find quite admirable, she's had an immensely tough few years and yet it's made her stronger. She is also very selfish though.
Charity's turning into a much nicer, more caring character recently. I always liked her sense of fun and wickedness, but now I think we're seeing a better side to her.
Unpopular, probably, but I also like Diane - she's a 'seen it all, done it all' type, who's open minded and not afraid to tell people when they're in the wrong (in her opinion)
Amy has turned into a decent, kindly, likeable character as well.
Vanessa has a good heart, even if I have to suspend disbelief that she wouldn't have had some inkling that she might be attracted to women before.
I've really warmed to Georgia since Molly was born as well.

the rest I would say fall into the 'don't mind' category for me, apart from Laurel and Ali, who I find hard to watch. I wasn't keen on Gennie either, although she did improve after the baby was born.

I agree with this thread in general. I like Laurel but the writing for her in the past hasn't been good. Debbie has been written awfully this last year. There are glimmers of hope every now and then when I nearly feel sorry for her but then I don't as it goes back to being more of the same from her.

It's all about NICO for me

I also like Val, Charity and Belle, quite fond of Amy, and Kerry is quite good fun.

I love Nico too ...her line tonight aout horses using the phone was LOL.

I like Charity also ...but i always have and was delighted when she returned .

I use to adore Chas but hate her now, she is so weak and pathetic .

I still like Debbie but i can see why she is unlikable.

Amy has grown on me as has Victoria.

I use to think Val was hilarious but i have gone off her .

Lisa annoys me - not enough to be put onto my Cameron request list with Ali and Maurel - but she's just so obtuse at times. On the other hand she doesn't take crap from Debbie or Belle and that's in her favour.

I can see where you're coming from OP there is a few of the female cast that i personally love!

Amy - What can i say just utter brilliant, quality phenomenal lovely decent character that can play all angles well!

Victoria - At times can be just like Amy utter brilliant they just need to choose the right time to unleash her gob which can be a very effective and fantastic weapon!

Val - A well rounded character can be funny, caring and a right bitch!

Kerry - Same as Val can play anything fantastically!

Alicia - A great strong character who deep down has a massive sensitive heart!

Vanessa - Really coming into her own her story right now is showing of her human feeling which is a great asset to have in a character!

Chas - The only Dingle that has a soul good and acts like a human being!

Diane - Aye she does stick her nose in quite a lot but she is a great character to have around and works well as a support to other characters!

Ruby - Nice and Gentle why she is with that trollop Ali is beyond me!

As for the rest the likes of Rhona, Bernice, Megan, Rachel and Katie dont bother me that much i can see some of their good points!

I really cant take to the likes of Debbie, Edna, Ali (who is worse than god awful) Moira (Who i used to like before she sold her soul) Priya and that bloody Laurel! I wouldn't shed a tear or feel sorry for if any of those were to suffer the ultimate sentence and marry Robbie!

She is bloody awesome. To think I used to hate her

Having not watched for a while due to the Cameron S/L, an FM has kindly just explained the panning out of Vanessa's purpose in the programme. When she arrived, I couldn't take to her and just felt that she had been dropped in but now we see it's been to facilitate Rhona's drug addiction - all rather limp.

I really like Debbie and Chas, they're at least entertaining. I think Vanessa is good but she's getting annoying because it seems like she has the same scenes with Rhona in every episode.

Most of the male characters are rubbish too:

-Dan's nice but boring
-Dom's dull
-David's a wimp
-Marlon is just ugh
-Adam is awful
-Robbie is even worse
-Declan is a bore
-Sean is crap
-Paddy is an idiot
-Andy is annoying

I really like Kerry, obviously in real life you would run a mile but she has been good value for money lately and I think her and Dan work.

Someone that hasn't been mentioned is Victoria, she is a vile piece of work, genuinely nasty 95% of the time.

And Belle looks like she might be heading the same way.

I like both Diane and Val but someone at ED doesn't seem to rate women very highly in general because they have them coming out with some amazingly selfish and cruel stuff.

In fact any of the women of ED seem ready to turn into screeching harridans at the drop of one of Bob's paninis.

Amy's evolution from the teenage from hell into a pleasant young woman is probably Blackburn only success story.

I've never been that sure about Amy, probably because of the going after her mam's bloke thing, thankfully that seems to have been brushed under the carpet now.

Let's hope they give her something to do now that doesn't involve moping about.
