most annoying d s character

I say jeb hawkes very annoying
just when you thought he was dead
and there he was,and he thought he
was better than everybody else
espically QUENTIN...........

I personally find Jeff Clark the most annoying character in the history of DS.  I almost invariably fast forward through his scenes, especially the one on ones with poor Vicki.

G.

Hallie Stokes!   


Just something about the character (like maybe, her voice?) that rubbed me the wrong way.

That being said, I'm really looking forward to seeing  Kathy Cody at the Fest this year. It should be interesting to hear what memories she has of the show.   

Bette

Amanda Harris from the 1897 storyline - her only redemption is she shared many scenes with the dashing Don Briscoe...

..and though there are few Donna McKechnie fans based on her DS run, I discovered she was the lead go-go dancer on the 60's music show "Hullabaloo".... and was actually a groovy dancer. Guess if Quentin, Charles or Tim Shaw took her out dancing, we'd have seen a more well-rounded performance. Then again, no one was doing the Frug, Monkey, Jerk, Pony, or Watusi back in 1897.

I thought Amanda Harris and her constant whining were extremely annoying.

For me it was Abigail Collins... There wasn't an ounce of compassion in her.

FireRose, that's dead on!  I'd forgotten about how darned annoying Abigail was - she reminds me of my dear mother-in-law! 

Hello, Cousins!
In my opinion, the most annoying ds characters are:
Men                                                  Women
Jason McGuire                                    Maggie Evans
Rev Trask                                          Carolyn Stoddard
Nathan Forbes                                    Alexis Stokes
Bruno Hess                                        Sarah Collins
Michael Hackett                                  Prostitutes from 1795
Judge Hanley                                     Josette Collins(just before her death in 1795
Peter Bradford                                  

Got to be Burke Devlin.  God...he annoys me.  He just goes around and "thinks" he knows everything.  .  "The mayor of Collinsport"  Just annoys me.

In no particular order...
Peter Bradford/Jeff Clark, Tim Shaw, Amanda Harris, Charles Delaware Tate, Noah Gifford, Harry Johnson, Maggie Collins PT (KLS's *worst* character)...
I can't think of any more at the moment.

Charles Delaware Tate...total twit.
Buffie Harrington... not a big hit, but often is.
Dirk the Jerk Wilkins...absolute ninny.
John Yaeger...face of putty.
Jeff Clark...total ADD.
Hallie Stokes...whiny voice.
Ned Stuart...very high strung.
Sabrina Stuart...one expression for all occasions.
Horace Gladstone...scrunched face and wired scar.
Peter Bradford...Dim wit.
Carrie Stokes....same whiny voice.

As much as Jeff Clark and Ned Stuart irritate me, I'd gladly take both of them in every episode in every scene over Jeb Hawkes in any episode/scene. Roger didn't call him "a cheap, insufferable pig" without good reason. 
(However, I never FF through any of Jeb's scenes. FFing through even the worst character's scene is sacrilege, IMHO - particularly because it discounts the work of the other actor(s) who may be sharing the scene. And as irritating as any character might be, there's always something in every scene that's worth being seen.  )

Lady Kitty Hampshire:  A potentially interesting character that the writers completely mishandled, thus depriving KLS of the opportunity to do something really different.

Adam:  Nothing against Robert Rodan, but I always found it annoying to watch someone that tall act so childish.  And the green sweater didn't help, either.

Eagle Hill Cemetery Caretaker:  Whenever he appeared, I prayed that Barnabas would kill him.

Hallie/Carrie:  Was there any reason to saddle Kathy Cody with such whiny characters?

Jeremy Grimes:  Tom Happer's line readings made me cringe.  I felt embarrassed every time he appeared on camera.

The Leviathan Kid played by David Jay:  "Mrs. Stah-Dud!  Mrs. Stah-Dud!"

Melanie Collins:  All the fretting, whining and crying - majorly annoying!
Bruno Hess:  Ugh!  Sickening leech so full of himself I'm surprised he didn't explode.
Hallie Stokes:  More fretting and whining and worrying - way overdone.
Angelique:  Could never stand her - evil incarnate.  Self-serving bitch who never gave a crap about anyone but herself.  The constantly batting eyelids and weird puckering with the mouth when she spoke drove me nuts.  Not an ounce of sympathy for her EVER.
Gerard Styles:  Useless poseur with an ugly sneer
Jenny Collins:  Grosses me out
Rachel Drummond:  Ditz

There.  I feel better now.  LOL

 

PT 1970 Quentin.  He shouted and bullied his way through the storyline, treated his bride like a child, and let the staff walk all over him.  And that orange plaid sports coat he often wore didn't endear him to me either.
