Worst created character in daytime history

Yes Josh was not a horrible character. I guess in concept based on what it did to history but I thought he himself was pretty solid

General Hospital's Sam McCall.

Is she a slut? Is she a grifter? Is she a con woman? Is she an action/adventure junkie? Is she a deep sea diver? Is she a loner? Is she needy and clingy? Is she strong and independent, taking care of her mentally ill brother? Is she mother earth with baby fever? Does she watch women kidnap babies from strollers and keep silent? None of that! She's Alexis Davis' long lost daughter!!! :rolleyes: This character hasn't done Kelly Monaco any favors except keep her employed. Especially fresh from playing Livvie Locke to the hilt on Port Charles. People will blame her pairing with Jason for Sam's lack of... anything, but lest we forget, Jason was THIRD in line after a failed pairing with Sonny... which came after a failed pairing with Jax.

Can I get an AMEN! I have stated countless times that this character has been a nobody for 8 years, but I get so much resistance. Sam leaving GH would hurt NOTHING! Totally worthless. An attempt to replace Brenda, another worthless bitch, but even I have to admit that Brenda had value early on. Sam? NEVER!

I'd like to add Arizona from Loving. I'm still traumatized by that ugly heifer! There was no reason for that homely chick. It's like they added her so that we could consistently feel sorry for her, which is why they picked such a pitifully handsome chick. If anyone remembers her, please tell me her value.

Who was Arizona? Do you mean the transgender woman (what was her name...Azure?)?

Nope. She was just this ugly chick and was the absolute worst. Traumatic experience!

Cheap,

Can you find a pic or something? I tried.

Krystal Carey. She sucked up airtime, she never had any epic love stories or romances, she was constantly rewritten to be "good" even though she did awful things, she was massively unsympathetic, and good characters like Brooke were shoved aside to make room for Krystal.

I always thought BE did amazing work as Krystal and by JHB & BE, I warmed up to her. But I wanted to burn the b at the stake because she literally replaced Liza--straight stole her romance with Tad and was at odds with Adam. Then one of the last things Liza did before MW bounced was be blackmailed by Adam and JR to be shady to the Carey hos (who she hated) and she was so wah wah wah morally compromised and then when she returned, it was to help Babe & Jamie kidnap Ace Buchanan (and this time freakin' Babe wasn't compared to Dixie, but Liza). OMG I just couldn't LOL.

I wound up loving Krystal and Babe later, but even though head writers almost always have new pet favorites, McTavish/Babe & Krystal was a shockingly scary example of a hw with an agenda and so much more of a mission.

Even though I didn't mind how she was created (and her first few months of story), I've gotta pick Courtney Matthews, who was the most horrible character ever--sanctimonious, hypocritical, entitled, delusional, fickle, etc., and, worst of all, BLAND as hell. However, as far as creation conception, there've been far worse characters, such as someone in a Courtney story, that doctor, I think her name was Rachel? The lady who had that "Strangers on a Train" (but plane here) story when AJ "died." That was a trainwreck (but she turned out to be OK I thought, esp. when it seemed she and Steve would get together). Then there are characters I hate and who I think suck (like Sonny, Jason, and Carly), but for various creative and functional reasons, I can't say I think they're the "worst created character in daytime history."

OMG I take my Courtney choice back, I think I actually have to go with Zach freakin' Slater. The worst in every way and he became and stayed a lead. UGH.

Arizona Beecham was the wife of Linc Beecham, a romantic interest for Susan Walter's Lorna Forbes. Zona was her nickname. Zona was introduced by Agnes Nixon as an interloper in the Linc / Lorna story. His mother, played by Jane Powell, arrived in town when Linc and Lorna were getting close and was threatening to reveal Linc's secret, he had a wife, Zona. Zona eventually came to town, faked a pregnancy, went off the deep end, and ended her own life. Lorna went on trial for her murder.

Oh wow. I never knew her name was short for Arizona.

I've heard a lot about how bad that story was.

THANK YOU! As traumatic as the character was, someone else had to remember her! Didn't she jump to her death?

I thought she was shot as I thought the gun was key to the trial, but I may be wrong. She wrote about her plans to end her life in her diary, which Linc's mother hid because she didn't like Lorna. It was all fairly pointless as Lorna / Linc split during the trial, Lorna was paired with her lawyer, Zack, and Linc was written out.

Kathleen McCall played Zona.

Y&R: Who was that girl that was killed? Carmen? Yeah, her.

Christ. Carmen Mesta! I hate hate hated her and that mess they pulled with sticking her and Neil together and having Dru go nuts with no one being able to see how transparent Carmen was. However, I will say that the scene where Dru and Carmen threw down in the break room was CLASSIC and I still watch that every few months. I just remember watching that in college, calling my other friends who watched Y&R and telling them they needed to be at my apartment immediately. And we all watched it and couldn't stop laughing.

I remember how Celeste (sigh, good ol' Tanya Boyd) would always say his entire name: Thomas Edward Kramer. haha

"I googled Thomas Edward Kramer!"

The sad part is that a better actress would've given that character more life than being "just there".

I so did not care about Randi I was hoping Madison's baby was Frankie's. If only so he could get a little escape from her. Denise Vasi was good for nothing but getting his shirt off!
