I was curious to see how this differs from my "Least Favourite" characters, all of whom annoyed me to some degree. Turns out it's quite different - especially as I've decided to give TNT its due this time:

1. Christopher Ewing [TNT]
2. Emma Ryland [TNT]
3. Drew Ramos [TNT]
4. Vicente Camo [TNT]
5. Aunt Lil Trotter
6. Louella Caraway
7. Holly Harwood
8. Charlie Wade
9. Arliss Cooper
10. Elena whatsername [TNT]

Oh I didn't even think of Dallas TNT when I made my list. If I had I think Mama Ryland would definitely have made my list and Nicholas Trevino too!

Gosh, where do we start
April Stevens Ewing
Cally Harper Ewing
Michelle Stevens Ewing
Angelica Nero
Mrs Cooper Older Woman

Sarah, look at the bright side of the street(walker):
at least Linda didn´t have to wear this awful gown...
Finally, Mandy might have a reason to exist...​

 

[Sarah]

Yes the tinfoil outfit. Her reason for existing is for me to cook her in the oven at a temperature that could rival Mercury.

 

[Mel O'Drama]

at least Linda didn´t have to wear this awful gown...

There really is a Karen Walker quote for every questionable item of Dallas wardrobe​

 

[Maryann]

1. Mark Graison
2. Jenna Wade
3. Alex Ward
4.April Stevens
5.Garnet McGhee
6.Michelle Stevens

[Willie Oleson]

1. Jamie Ewing
2. Cliff Barnes (original Dallas, not TNT)
3. Afton Cooper

I would never rate the character (positive or negative) based on the storyline, let alone based on a strange kind of loyalty.
But I can honestly say that I had a hard time watching the characters mentioned above.

 

[Victoriafan3]

This is a tough one between the first two but if push comes to shove...

1.April
2.Jenna
3.Charlie
4.Leslie octopus eater Stewart
5.alex ward
6.whoever was responsible for getting Timithy Patrick Murphy off the show far too soon REALLY annoyed me
7-10.any new character in the final seasons take your pick

 

[Karin]

But we all need to "love one another. Feel for each other" in a "never ending song of love."

Like this:

"So good I can hardly stand it."

Why oh why did you have to post that horrible song for?
I keep getting it stuck on my mind over the past couple of days and it's so annoying!

It's like it is trying to remind me "you should have added Garnet McGee to your most annoying character list":lolo:

 

[Presea]

Oh, so much fun!

1. Bobby Ewing- In all honesty, he is not as annoying as the others listed here, but he is ranked higher since he had more airtime, and that equaled overall more annoyance from me. Annoying little do-gooder and hypocrite with his so-called "morals" who whines about everything and seems to live to try to take Ewing Oil from JR or get into his business.

2. Luke- That annoying kid from "The Lost Child" who seemed like he was ripped out of a 50s or 60s family sitcom with his overly exaggerated speech and expressions. Thank god he went to Montana and never came back.

3. Charlie Wade- Same as Luke, except she tortured me with her presence for many seasons. And she turned into a total brat in season 10 (dvd).

4. Baby John Ross- Usually just bawling his head off and eating the same old macaroni and cheese dinner. And it took him way too long to start talking!

5. Baby Christopher- (Yes, I do consider him more annoying than the "I'm adooopted!" kid version.) Yet another baby who spends his time crying his head off or just shoved in a play pen. He also seemed to be stuck as an ugly toddler for quite a long time.

6. Liz Craig- Her voice was equivalent to someone's nails screeching on a chalkboard. I also found her constant interest in Pam's marriage quite unprofessional for a boss.

7. Bill Johnson- That guy who worked with Lucy on one of her modelling trips. Rude dude who couldn't take a hint that poor Lucy was scared and NOT interested in a relationship with him.

8. Jenna Wade (after season 7 dvd)- Always needing to be saved, overglorified by everyone around her, had to have her little happy ending or the world would end, etc., etc. Somebody shoot me.

9. Naldo Marchetta- Arrgh! Just die already!

10. That judge from Jenna's trial- Even though I don't like that Jenna, I don't see how that stupid judge got off with acting like Jenna was some monster when the evidence against her was really only circumstantial.

Honorable mention- That annoying waitress at Mitzi's (Mitzi?) who constantly asked Sue Ellen: "Coffee, Mrs. Ewing?" "Can I get you anything, Mrs. Ewing?" "More coffee, Mrs. Ewing!?" Okay, I'm pretty sure the whole restaurant had established the fact that Sue Ellen was indeed, Mrs. Ewing! God, didn't she ever stop to think that Sue Ellen might not want to draw attention to herself!?

1. Oswald Valentine
2. Ed Haynes
3. Christopher Ewing (TNT)
4. Alex Barton
5. Jory Taylor
6. Liz Adams
7. Kimberley Cryder
8. Matt Cantrell

That was also my reason to vote for Cliff Barnes, I can only take him in small doses.

Baby John Ross- Usually just bawling his head off and eating the same old macaroni and cheese dinner

It sucks to be a Soap Kid

Baby Christopher- He also seemed to be stuck as an ugly toddler for quite a long time

*cough*American Horror Story*cough*

Honorable mention- That annoying waitress at Mitzi's (Mitzi?) who constantly asked Sue Ellen: "Coffee, Mrs. Ewing?" "Can I get you anything, Mrs. Ewing?" "More coffee, Mrs. Ewing!?" Okay, I'm pretty sure the whole restaurant had established the fact that Sue Ellen was indeed, Mrs. Ewing!

JR and James are on a business trip, to Austin. Cliff Barnes is on the case, regarding the spillage from the tankers colliding while newly wed JR manages to bed another woman, with all this on the go. James is at the pool the following morning, (a scene from season 12, DVD-13, 1989 – ‘90):

JR: “Morning!”

James: “Have a nice night?”

JR: “Well if it makes you feel any happier I don’t feel too good, about what I done last night myself.”

James: “But you did it anyway.”

JR: “Is your bag packed? I want to get back to Dallas this morning.”

James: “Yeah I’m packed.”

James: “Do you know one of the reasons I finally told you you’re my father was that I wanted you to get back together with my mother again.”

JR: “Yeah!”

James: “I liked Cally alright but she was standing in my way. All I’d have to do is to get rid of her and bingo I would have an instant family again.”

JR: “Hey wait a minute. Are you telling me what I did last night is gonna help you get rid of Cally?”

James: “You’re damn right I am. Only I’m not gonna tell her. You think I want my mother married to someone like you?”

JR: “Now don’t you go mouthing off to me and I certainly don’t need your holier than thou attitude. I don’t have to take your criticism kid.”

James: “Hey I am not criticizing you. I’m just telling you what is. You may be a great father but you’re a lousy husband.”

JR: “Oh is that right?”

James: “That’s right and if you don’t like my opinion that’s too damn bad.”

JR laughs!

James: “What’s so funny?”

JR: “You know what your problem is? You’re just too much like me. You may realize it but you’ll see.”

James: “No way!”

JR: “Ah you’re acting just like I would have if my daddy had done what I did last night and look at me now.”

James: “That’ll never be me.”

JR laughs and replies, “never say never.”
