6 Most Disliked Soap Characters
#1 Drew Quartermaine, GH
With Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober) gone, thanks to Joss (Eden McCoy), there’s one man who stands alone as Port Charles’ most despised man. And that’s GH’s Drew Quartermaine (Cameron Mathison). We never thought he would be on this list. But for the last year and some change, the man has evolved into a nuisance of the highest order. He had an affair with his nephew’s wife and then proceeded to act like their romance was the be-all and end-all of Port Charles. He’s earned the nickname of Congressman Cutthroat. He’s somehow upset the Ashford/Robinson, Quartermaine, and Corinthos families. And he lost any sort of support from the mayor. Look at the depths he has sunk to keep his Quartermaine name. He wants Tracy (Jane Elliot) to move her parents’ crypt!
#2 EJ DiMera, DAYS
The hate cloud that surrounds DAYS’ EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel) is massive. And it’s so volatile that it might even turn into a tornado of toxicity. For the last two years, EJ has been on a villainous tear. From lying about Nicole (ex-Arianne Zucker) and Eric’s (Greg Vaughan) baby to kidnapping Rafe (Galen Gering), replacing him with a Rafe doppelganger that he used to tank Jada’s (Elia Cantu) career. Instead of holding himself accountable for what he did to Sami (Alison Sweeney) all those years ago, he stormed over to Kate (Lauren Koslow) and told her he’d get his revenge on her. He tried to get Paulina (Jackée Harry) recalled. More recently, he injected people with a memory-erasing drug. He backstabbed the woman he was sleeping with and got rid of his sister’s mother! And as we all know, karma will get back at him in the form of a violent shooting. There will be a million suspects with valid reasons to off this guy.
#3 Hope Logan, B&B
Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor) may have been the one to come up with the whole signing the LLC papers idea, but it’s B&B’s Hope (Annika Noelle) who really felt herself during the whole takeover of Forrester Creations. She was okay with having her job back, heading Hope for the Future, and even calling the shots while the Forresters sat at home watching the company succeed from the discomfort of their own couches. When Carter’s conscience started fighting back, Hope tried to keep her man’s eyes on the prize. Even before the coup, Hope stupidly kissed Finn (Tanner Novlan), the thing that got her fired from FC in the first place. Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) hates her, Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) blames her, and even Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) isn’t completely on her daughter’s side. Recently, Carter gave back the company, and Hope found herself kicked to the curb again. What will she do in response?
#4 Luna Nozawa, B&B
It isn’t hard to figure out why Luna (Lisa Yamada) is one of B&B’s most despised characters. She killed two people, caged Steffy up, and left her to die in a building that was about to be torn down. She even messed with a DNA test to ensure her dad was Bill Spencer (Don Diamont). And when that didn’t work, she kissed the man! We still don’t know if she faked being beaten up in prison, and after an unfair house arrest phase at Bill’s mansion, she has been completely pardoned for her sins! When Bill threw her out of his house and Poppy disowned her, she went straight to Grandma Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown), which is a very bad idea. Because if Luna triggers Sheila’s dark side to rise from the ashes, nobody will love Luna unconditionally anytime soon.
#5 Bill Hamilton, BTG
We’ve only known Bill Hamilton (Timon Kyle Durrett) for a month, and we understand why he’s extremely disliked by the Duprees, his daughters, the Fairmont Crest community, and maybe even some of the employees at his law firm. He cheated multiple times on Dani (Karla Mosley) during their marriage. And now that they’re divorced, he has this disconnected way of treating Dani’s pain and trauma. It’s cruel. He left Dani for his daughter’s best friend and didn’t care how it affected Dani and her family. He booked the wedding with his new bride at the Fairmont Crest Country Club and moved them into a house beyond the gates — Dupree territory. While Dani does go over the top with her revenge tactics, Bill doesn’t see it as a cry for help. He sees it as an opportunity to humiliate her further. And he’s not beyond using blackmail as a tool to get his way or calling press conferences to get his tainted truth out there. Boo.
#6 Adam Newman
Picking the most hated person in Genoa City was more difficult. After all, Ian Ward (Ray Wise) and Crazy Aunt Jordan (Colleen Zenk) were no longer a factor. Meanwhile, nobody has realized that Alan (Christopher Cousins) isn’t who he seems to be yet. Although that should be coming soon. That leaves Adam Newman (Mark Grossman). While his family has sort of softened on him, they never hesitate to lecture him and tell him what he’s doing wrong. He’s always close to somebody turning on him. And it doesn’t help that he and Chelsea (Melissa Claire Egan) slept together that night in Baltimore. Now, Sally (Courtney Hope) barely talks to him, and she turned to his biggest nemesis, Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson), for comfort. There are grumblings of an Adam vs. Billy battle of the media empire and empire in the making. We’ll see how low he goes should that war heat up.
