Hi Prem Raj,
I'd agree with both of these choices that has been said. Jessica Arnold is another nomination i'd recommend/suggest too.

It was all the "kewl" kids who did their Ties the thin way/side only showing at School or trying to copy the 'ard guy's without "offending" them.

CLosely followed by Matthew frigging Cartwright. The annoying patronising know-all.

X-fu*king-S. That kid seriously needed a slap.

Who can take you higher than a twin peak mountain blue?

reply

Susanne Ross, god I hate her.

Where were you when we were getting high?

After rewatching from the start I'm now up to series 7. Most annoying characters so far are the weedy little Canadian girl Belinda and horrible Jeremy who wasn't a patch on his cheeky cousin Jonah. Didn't like the self righteous Penny Lewis much either.

reply

I'm sorry to see that she's only in 8 episodes.

I hate to say it but there are only a few in the contest. Yeah I liked the character of Togger and in small spells I did like him - in-particular that scene where him and tanya had a heart to hheart, that was a piece of great writting I felt but try as I may I can not like Togger.

Tigger was margianly better character-wise I thought and quite a bit (in certain aspects than Togger). Even Tanya was quite convincing as a "2000s Trisha" I thought and I could'nt never not like her par when in 2003/2004 (though I was'nt as keen on her) when it was un-certain who was best-best friends from Annie, Emma and Tamya!!

reply

Jessica Samuels! I totally agree. I was pretty glad to see her gone.

I've only watched series 1 and 2... but I'm progressing through and Lordy. I was pretty happy when the whole uniform business was over with, though I don't really understand all of the complaining.

I liked Jessica.Mind you,I also hate school uniforms!

Freddie Mainwaring was a bit of a dick especially when he challenged Mr. Robson because of his non-competitiveness to PE and the fact that if he was chocolate he'd have eaten himself because he was such a babe magnet, but I will say that Simon Vaughan who played him was a good actor though and better than a lot of the other student cast members.

reply

It would have to be Belinda(My clarinet!) from series 5.
Another annoyance of mine was the appearance on new characters that surfaced without any explanation like Julie Marchant, Kevin Baylon and the additions to N1 in series 4.

LOL

I certainly DON'T understand why you would feel that way about a little girl who's friendly and sharing and talented in both athletics AND music.

reply

I was thinking that; especially in 1979-80, I would want a Jessica Samuels (Go head on girl!) on my side, considering that Thatcher was soon to be in complete control and in a short time, partnered with Reagan....

reply

Jessica was annoying, agreed there.

Not as annoying as some of the Poshies like Justin Bennett, Matthew Cartwright (fit sister though) or Penny Lewis.

Jessica probably works as a Union boss now organising strikes, but at least she wasn't a patronising snob like the above three.

Danny Kendall. I just could not stand that twerp. A close second is Roland and the girl who kept following him around.

reply

Morler McCaul

Kendall

Ant Jones

Danny and Janet are two of the best characters in the show. Second only to Tucker Jenkins and Ziggy Greaves.

I'm half human, on my mother's side<------CANON!
