Who Are The Most Hated TV Show Characters?

Who are your most hated TV show characters? Lauren Tom, who played Ross's palaeontologist girlfriend Julie in the second season of Friends, recently revealed that her character was so unpopular with viewers that they would boo her during tapings of the show. Other characters who have provoked similarly strong reactions from TV fans include Skyler White from Breaking Bad, Dawn Summers from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Lord Grantham from Downton Abbey, Jess Mariano from Gilmore Girls and Betty Draper from Mad Men. Jennifer Gannon and Dee Reddy joined us for our weekly TV slot to run through some of their own most hated characters, from Rory Gilmore of Gilmore Girls to Carrie Bradshaw of Sex and the City. They also discussed the return of The Hills and how Love Island's Maura Higgins is challenging toxic masculinity. Listen to the interview in full by pressing the play button on this page.
