I think it has to be Barry Grant from Brookside. He was about mixed up as a box of smarties. He could be curel, he could be kind, he could be nasty , he could be caring, he could be a doting father and he could be a ruthless killer.
The man had it all. Barry grant rises from a scally, robbing copper of building sites, torching vans, involved with dodgy scams until be becomes a full gangster. Some of the stunts he's pulled makes Dirty Den look nothing.

Richard Hillman must be the worst- I think he killed twice (Maxine and his ex wife) and attempted murder at least 5 times- Emily, Gail, Sarah, Bethany, David. Plus Dougie- not quiet sure if he could have prevented his death

Other than Richard Hilman in Corrie, I think my vote must go to Darcy Tyler in Neighbours.

Not only did he steal from is own aunt and family, he knocked a pregnant woman over by himself, broke up the ideal couple so that when the couple finally got together it was too late and one of them died, raked up rediculousdebts, causing other people trouble, and is still around causing people to halusinate him making them fall down stairs and loosing the baby they carry.

He's an all round nastly man...I hope he come out of him coma and returns.

Rob Hawthorn from Hollyoaks.

Can't remember everything that he did - although I do remember him getting Kurt's sister hooked on drugs, accidentally killing Kurt's cousin by spiking her drink and also claiming that he actually killed Kurt in the end (although this happened off screen). Finally was killed when he tried to set fire to Jambo's bus but got caught in the fire himself.

Yes it has to be Trevor.

There was once a discussion on This Morning the people on the panel where saying he has been the most realistic villian any soap has ever had and it will take some beating.

I agree with that.

Barry Grant, a complex baddie - that's what I like.

Or, in a quite different way, Trevor Jordache - scarily believable. The episode thet ended up with Beth seeing him and Rachel in bed was more shocking, more chilling, than any OTT dramatic episode in any soap.

Sunset Beach - Derek Evans

EE - Trevor Morgan and Nick Cotton (couldn't decide which was worse)

Neighbours - Darcy Tyler

Corrie - Maya and Richard Hillman (again, couldn't decide which was worse)

I'm sure there's some I've forgotten, I have a migraine and can't think.

That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!

The only soap character that has genuinely scared me was Trevor from EE.

Others such as Nick Cotten/Richard Hillman did worse evil acts but they were too pantominey/comical to actually scare me. I suppose Trevor was the most reaslistic and the domestic abuse is something more imaginable than killing sprees. Thinking about those eyes of Trevors still makes me shudder!

Alan Bradley in Corrie. Richard Hillman had so many similarities to Alan, except Alan never managed to kill anyone.

Barry Grant in Brookie. He was great, transforming from Scouse scally to murderer.
