Which characters do (or did if they were past characters) you not mind or feel pretty indifferent towards?

For me -

Mickey Miller. I know he wasn't liked but he was a pretty harmless, low level character. Nothing special but inoffensive.

Lynne Slater. Of all the Slaters she was the one I don't have an opinion about. She was probably the most forgettable, not because I disliked her but she was pretty middle of the road compared to Kat, Little Mo, Zoe, Stacey, Sean, Big Mo and Charlie.

AJ Ahmed. He was just kind of *there*. Again not a bad character but not one who's central to the Masoods like Zainab whose absence is still pretty glaring.

I might think of others if this thread gets a good number of replies.

Dot Branning. I don't dislike her but I've never really warmed to her.

Martin Fowler - I just think he's an 'ordinary' bloke, you know, works, goes to the pub, has a girlfriend who's pregnant, a pretty harmless character.

I really only watch EE and Corrie anymore - both out of habit more often than not too.

I think feeling indifferent towards characters is not a good thing because if you don't care about the characters why should you care about what happens to them?

Also, for me, indifference to characters usually becomes "would happily throw off a cliff" and very few characters come back from that sort of dislike.

I was mainly indifferent to Lauren Branning and Tina McIntyre until they both started to dominate their soaps - then I'd have quite happily chopped them both into tiny little pieces, burnt the pieces and milled the ashes into fine powder before scattering them because I was sick of the sight and sound of the pair of them. Lauren was slightly less annoying than Tina and then she got involved with solving the Lucy Beale mystery ( I love mysteries!) so now, I'm back to indiffernce

Debbie Dingle. She's alright. Sometimes I like her, sometimes she does my head in, mostly she's just ok.
