That's not fair on a hamster. Must say I am surprised at current figures, I did expect Rose and Tommy McKay to be out in front.

Yes, Hamsters are cute. Especially Roborovki's.

I voted for Michelle Stevens - hideously nasty, no redeeming qualities whatsoever and a money grabbing bitch. If she's gone to Willy Wonker's chocolate factory she would have swam in the chocolate river, stolen an Oompa Lumpa and probably have poisoned the chocolate - horrible horrible character.
James, yeah, he's a very close 2nd but was fit to look at, so long as he didn't open his mouth.:mo:

I’ll say this about Michelle. Unlike Bobby, she had the guts to not let Hillary get away with killing her sister. For that reason alone, I can’t say she’s the worst.
I didn’t like Jamie either. The Ewing’s invite her into their home and she immediately start telling them off

The only thing was at least there was a point/purpose to her character, in that teaming up with Cliff set up the contest for the percentage of Ewing Oil.

I would have packed her off to stay with her cousin Chrissy in Fresno.

On a recent re-watch I realised that the whole 3 way divide of Ewing Oil was a complete mess - after an argument with J.R Jamie races upstairs, grabs the document and gets Clayton to read out what it says - then, in another episode she doesn't understand why there was such a fuss because she thought each of the 3 parties knew about the document and had their own copies. Well, why race upstairs and get Clayton to read it out in front of a whole host of people if she didn't think it was in any way important???
It was a great storyline actually, but that part of it made no sense at all.
I didn't mind Jamie, I really don't think she deserves the hate she gets, but as a character she was very naive and stupid.

I voted for Johnny Dancer but actually the only one I really despised and made me want to throw things at the TV set was...
:j1::j1::j1::j1::j1::j1::j1::j1:
...Debra Lynn, James´s wife and mother of his only son. I couldn´t stand neither the character nor the actress, who was awful. She made me like Michelle more and think if I should stop watching the show...though I knew there were too few episodes left and I would have anyway.

I'll vote for James Beaumont's official wife.

The only slight point in her favour is that she had much less screen time than her spouse.

Charlie set my teeth on edge, but I suppose as a belligerent adolescent she was supposed to. Little did I know that just a couple of years later the simpering Vanessa and her lobotomised gurning offspring would make me yearn for the days of Darius and smooching in the barn with young Brad.

Yes, I must apologise for not including the girning Charlie in the list, although I'm not sure if she would be amongst the leaders right now.

Of your list, Rose Mackay was the worst but even more dire than her was Laurel Ellis, just yuk! Awful character and even worse acting. I'd also add the character played by Michael Wilding Jr who was part of the Laurel Ellis storyline. He was so awful that I can't remember his name. I disliked him so much that I can't motivate myself to look up what he was called. While I'm thinking about it Jory Taylor was a completely ghastly character too.

Was he part of that storyline? @Angela Channing I thought he was later and played art dealer Alex Barton who thought the dreadful Cally was the new Monet, Degas, Rembrandt, Vermeer, Da Vinci and Michealangelo all rolled into one and flogged her painting by numbers
The British guy was ?? David Shulton, i dont watch the later years very much and only BBG scenes and others at FWD
I always thought Liz Taylors son was a bit weedy
Laurel Ellis's Bonsais, were more animated than her and better acting! When Howard Keel was on stage at a concert i was at he forgot her name! Dont blame him, she wasnt memorable.

From the classic years with the old gang I'd say Ray Krebbs. I can't say I dislike him, but I don't find him an interesting character.
I liked him better as JR's beer & tramp-buddy.

Now you mention it, I realise I was wrong. It was Alex Barton, another terrible character acted badly by someone with a British accent in a lousy storyline.
I've not watched the later seasons for over 30 years, the last time I watched I stopped after Pam drove her car into the tanker specifically to avoid some of the awfulness of the final years. Consequently, my memory is some of the details is a little sketchy.

It's hard to believe that Michael Wilding Jr was in a grand total of eight episodes, one episode for his character would have been one too many.
