Characters we love to hate

My favorite in the world to look at bad guy is someone whose name I have no idea what it is. He is someone I just call "tattoo man". He is very unique and is in a ton of movies and tv shows that call for a very bad character. He is bald and every inch of his body that shows, up to his neck is covered with tattos. If he is wearing a shirt with a high collar and long sleeves you do not see them. He was in Con Air and was a regular character on Nip/Tuck for a couple of seasons. I think he was finally gotten rid of this past season. And, I am with you on Spike.....he was a cutie pie ~Donna

If you'll forgive me for using a book instead of a television show, I have to admit I have a bit of a crush on Bellatrix Lestrange. I mean I know she's totally despicable and wicked, but I find her intriguing and enchanting at the same time. That scene in Goblet of Fire when Harry's in pensieve and sees her sitting in the interrogation chair like it's a throne, and her supreme confidence make her attractive in a twisted sort of way. Have I admitted I'm a total Harry Potter nerd? I have a crush on Tonks too... I also always admired Hannibal Lectur--the intellect, the charm. There was always that cannibalism thing, though..

House is the show for me ...he is such a jerk to the patients and his staff ..but now this cop is after him I feel sorry for him ..he has no feelings for his patients but yet he goes to all lenghts to find a cure for them ...its quite the show actually ...I guess I like to watch just because of his personallity and how he can find cures in his own crazy mixed up ways ...

Ah, Spike. I'll always have a place in my heart for Spike. I started out loving to hate him, and then I went back and forth on him for a long time. Almost to the end actually. Of course at the last episode I couldn't hate him, and of course cried my eyes out. =P Let's see... characters I love to hate... how about Amanda on Highlander? She was so psycho, and a total user, but man was she funny. My husband just hated her outright, but she just amused me way too much. (Of course, she's not technically a villian, but she's a heck of a b*tch most of the time).

What a great question! I used to love to hate Addison on Grey's Anatomy, but now I just love her. And although I don't wtach the soaps anymore, Erica Kane from All My children is another one-- she's such a b**** at times, but she's fascinating!

What a great discussion. Buffy has a lot of great villians (Glory, the Master, and even dark Willow). I think my favorite was "The Mayor". He was just so psycho and bizzare, all father-knows-best one minute, total psyhopath the next. I loved hating him! Right now I am watching seson 3 of Nip/Tuck on DVD and I am also loving to hate The Carver. He/She (I don't know who it is yet) is just sooo creepy! I always thought The Joker (Batman) was a great villan too. I think he's best in the comics as opposted to TV of movies, though I do have high hopes for the net Batman movie. Oh and on Deadwood, I love Al Swearengen. You really hate him in the begining, but after a while you start to see a side of him that makes him seems a little more human, even though he can be so evil!

Hi! My favorite is a character I love to hate and I love to love - J.R. Ewing on Dallas! He's my absolute favorite! Dallas wouldn't have been the same if the storylines hadn't changed to be more about J.R. I think he's one of the best characters in TV history! :-)

the mother "marie" on everybody loves raymond. i do not hate her but i would not want her to be my mother in law..she would drive me crazy...

The all-time character on my hate list is Alexis Carrington - Joan Collins' role in Dynasty. You know you hate her but the show would not have been as popular without her. And then there's Heather Locklear as Amanda Woodward in Melrose Place.

I Hate the Bad Characters for Being so Bad That no one Can Harm Until the End. And i Also Hate the Good Character for Being so Good That, They Didn,t Kill The Bad Guy When He Always Had the Power to do it.

Yes-Lex Luther is the guy I really like even though he's a villian the guy you love to hate, have sympanthy with, support, and hopes changes, just because he seems to have a heart and do good once in awhile. He's taken over by his obsessions, and the thought of power, we know his father is responsible. But know his father has changed-he's know the bad guy you like to like. It seems the only characters you dislike are the temporary evil people in smallville during episodes.

for me who i love is actually a main character but who is really racist. it's an old show called all in the family. well archie bunker is so rude and racist. i hate racist people but he does it in such a funny way. i love that show.

Some of the annoying or bad guy characters make the show. I remember once that someone told me they wouldn't watch an episode of a show because one of sometimes drop in characters was going to be on. I thought about it and realized that if that actor wasn's so good at making me dislike them then the show wouldn't be as good, and also it shows how good the actor is. On older shows I remember as a kid one of the nastiest characters on tv, was so popular that he was the show. every where there were t-shirts JR For president, and Who Shot JR? On Smallville Michael Rosenbaum as Lex Luther, it is interesting that you want him to be a better person because you like him even when you can't stand him.

Well in India we have the so called "Saans Bahu serials". Which means they depict relationship between Mother in law and wife. The mother in law is always the one who is the "bad" character. So i hater her, like all Indians. :)

mine would be tony soprano. he is so bad. what a bad person. he kills people, cheats on his wife. but he is a good father, and i cannot help but like him. don't know why. yes spike. i loved him. my son and i watch angel everyday at 6am. we have been through every season 3 times. and you just can't help but love spike.

My favorite bad girl which I watch everyday was the girl who is the bad girl and at the same time she is the lead actress she potrays being so bad but the title of that soap is her name. She really acts very good and you really want to know what is her next move for she is really bad and when she become good to some people there you will see at the end that she was just being good was because she just want to get something. Sometimes you will thought that she already change but at the end she was not.

I totally hated DARTH VADER :) although he's kinda cool in his black metalic robe :) he so great being an antagonist. Well if theres a movie theres the star( protagonist) and the evil( antagonist )..

i have several characters i love to hate... on 24 it's been changing because the cast is everchanging ! it went from nina (season 1) - who was the mole in CTU to... sayed ali (season 2) - who was the terrorist to... gael ortega & steven saunders (season 3) - gael turned out to be good and saunders was a terrorist who realised a deadly virus to... michelle dessler & habib marwan (season 4) - michelle seemed like a b*tch when she first came on the show because she broke tony's heart but then she and tony became my fave characters and marwan was yet another terroritst to... the PRESIDENT !! (season 5) - who turned out to be EVIL !! and now in ssn 6... of course it would be fayed... the terrorist ! in other shows like prison break it would be the president, agent kellerman, and that 'kim' guy in desperate housewives its edie cos she's the b*tch but like u said.. i cant imagine the show without her... thanks for the great discussion ! i hope i answered ur question ! =) if so pls rate + ! thanks ! take care !

You named the two I loved to hate! I do admire Lex on one hand cause he's so intelligent and when he gets knocked down,he picks himself right back up and starts over but he has really started to show his true colors and I feel guilty for liking him but I do..As for Spike I always loved his sense of humor,black though it was,and I kind of felt sorry when he turned good and no one believed him

I can't agree with you about Spike on Buffy. I didn't love to hate him. I would love to boff him. lol. His character was supposed to be this bit part, and ended up being a regular character because everyone loved him. Yum. A character I love to hate is House. He's SUCH a jackass, but you can't help but like him anyway.
