[QUOTE="Jock Ewing Fan, post: 343619, member: 40536"] It is a difficult question because a character would have needed to appear on a certain number of episodes to be visible enough for the "worst" character. Contrary to some posts, I thought April was OK to above average prior to the Bobby/April pair-up. I couldn't stand Leslie Stewart - bad casting, bad character development, and I could never see JR having any attraction to her. Johnny Dancer wasn't on long enough to be considered IMHO To some degree, it is hard to separate actor/actress from character. I didn't like Clayton, Dusty, Michelle Stevens, later Lucy, Peter, but it was not because of the actors as much as the writing James could have been a better character, I fault the writing The winner for worst character - Leslie Stewart Dishonorable mention, and I am surprised there is no mention - Mrs Scotfield. Let's see - her husband starts a fire, endangers multiple lives, wants the Ewings to come to her rescue, and won't admit to her husband's responsibility, lectures Bobby! about compassion afterward, mentions that his wife is nice (Of course Pam, who amassed a fortune in unearned income as JR pointed out), etc. JR and Bobby were running a business with responsibilities to their family, investors, business partners and employees. If they determine that a business operation is unprofitable, or if they can make more money in another investment, that is their duty to make that decision. JR was right when he said something to the effect that Ewing Oil is not in business to give away money. Yes it is unfortunate for the business that is being closed, but that is the harsh reality of the business world. On second thought, Mrs Scottfield is a worse character than Leslie Stewart [/QUOTE]
