The characters on this list are all flawed in some way, but that’s what makes them interesting to watch. However, the characters that lack any redeeming qualities or are just plain annoying tend to be the ones that viewers dislike the most.
Personal Experience
I remember when Andrea killed Dale, I was so angry. Dale was one of my favorite characters and I couldn’t believe that Andrea would do something like that. It really made me dislike her character even more.
