I am also cracking up at the multiple posts citing the entire cast of B&B.

For me, it’s mostly Liam, who doesn’t even bother me as much as he used to. He isn’t helped by SC’s Van Wilder meets Chandler Bing acting choices. To me, that’s what really makes him annoying/insufferable, not even his character flaws.

What annoys me the most about characters on B&B (Ridge, Brooke, and Steffy are probably the most guilty) is the holier than thou hypocrisy and the utter lack of respect when speaking to people about their close relatives. That is just so foreign from the way I was raised, I could not imagine saying such things about a person’s parent to their face without being fully prepared to receive a punch or a slap.

Zende is a total cornball but I can put up with him. Zoe, I could not STAND. The actress is 180 degrees more likeable on Fantasy Island.

On DOOL, hands down, Alex. I don’t know whose idea it was to have him always chewing, slurping, biting down on everything from nuts and ice cream to his glasses and his own fingers, but he drives me up the wall.

Leo is annoying but that’s thanks to his lame dialogue which is not (in my best Victoria Lord) a’tall clever or cute. And I wanna know who on the writing staff has a crush (or worse) on GR, because when Gwen was describing his “perfect bubble ass” I did a Bea Arthur slow burn towards the imaginary camera.

SH’s Kristen, I’m just sick of the tiresome Teflon treatment. Either send her away for a good long while, or ease up on her always committing some unforgivable crime.

Jamey Giddens is writing Leo's dialogue. He brags about it constantly on Twitter. The dialogue isn't funny at all.

Days-Susan-she isn't on a lot, but I can't stand her.  I could barely tolerate her in the ED days, but I want to change my channel (or turn off Peacock lol) every time I hear her grating voice.

Sarah is probably the second most annoying character to me.  Everything about the way LG plays her from her baby voice to her quirkiness, her weird, sliding scale of morality with Xander, her time as Renee and as young Sarah-I just can't stand Sarah.

Kristen-I am so over the character.

GH-There are a long list of characters I find completely useless-Cody, Austin, Willow, Brando, Drew, Finn, Nina, etc, but I would say Carly and Michael rank as most insufferable.  There are definitely times and eras where I have liked Carly, but she's been fairly insufferable for years now.  I liked Michael in the early Chad Duell years, but I haven't liked him in at least 7 or 8 years.  I find him so judgmental and obnoxious

    • Great scenes between Marlena and EJ today. Paula and Jeanne are making EJ have more depth than Ron had during his long drawn out tenure.
    • Might as well say it, Minority opinion, granted, but I like Joss & I'm okay with this WSB story & i hope that Emma will be their next recruit & she & Joss can be partners.
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven  The Arlene/Ben/Betsy triangle is one I wish I could see for myself as on paper it doesn't tend to excite me but I can see how well-constructed it was. I wish I could see the Rick/Meg relationship too, although I wish they'd had him genuinely fall for Meg after he gets together with Cal. The whole Brooke/Deacon/Bridget story on B&B was horribly damaging to Brooke as a character but it was dramatically very sound because I could completely believe Deacon would fall for messy and vulnerable Brooke after finally settling down with the more docile Bridget.

    • According to the head writer list, it seems the show may have started to fall apart while either the Schneiders or Upton were writing.  And when it started to crumble, it crumbled fast.  It was sad to see everything Labine had brought to LOL be disassembled.

      Welcome back!!! And I see Abe and Paulina got a new apartment too, which is just a redress of John/Marlena’s, Steve/Kayla’s, etc. But it looks kinda nice. And I enjoyed his scenes with Chanel. It added another perspective to everything that’s been going on with her and Johnny. And Abe using his own history with Lexie to comfort Chanel was a good idea. Plus, it also provided us with more suspicion/red herring about Johnny possibly shooting EJ. I’m looking forward to see what happens between her and Johnny. And I’m so glad that the two of them are on the frontburner now.  Speaking of Johnny, I still have no problem with him going to work for Titan. The drama could be so good, especially once EJ finds out. To me, it seems like another realistic reaction to everything that’s been happening to Johnny lately. It doesn’t seem random and over the top either. And I like that they remembered to have Johnny tell Xander that he has no corporate experience whatsoever. Surprisingly, the two of them work well together. And so do Carson and Deidre. I love how the Marlena/Johnny relationship has been featured so much.  Kayla was still strong and kicking ass today too. The writer change has helped her/Mary Beth so much. But I do admit we should’ve seen Steve trying to get into Dr. Russell’s lab rather than Kayla instructing him over the phone.  And unfortunately, Chad and Cat still don’t seem to be doing much for me though. The cliffhanger was ok too.   Btw, Days was trending at #4 this morning on Peacock
    • There was a huge outcry when we learned that JFP intended to off Donna.
    • Especially children who much more likable characters and are played by better actors

      It’s a worse idea than her wanting to become a doctor Well, some of us Italians do prefer trumpets and saxophones over strings
