right then - which characters, Major or even Minor characters could you not stand in Dallas!
for me when i was younger watching Dallas i really hated Katherine because my favourite character was Bobby Ewing lol
and Katherine had shot him! in End Game! which was the first proper season i watched - and then in Swan Song! that was it! i was so upset after seeing Bobby die like that especially after he got back with Pam! and were going to remarry i was so happy and didnt expect it to end with him dying!
i really hated Katherine for that! but i dont anymore as it was only a dream and she didnt kill him really!!! and even though the dream season was the beginning of the end of the original dallas ratings wise after that - i didnt care because Bobby was still alive!
other then that i hated Jamie
Jamies character was just too boring for me and i dont know why i just didnt think she was that good and i certainly didnt miss her when she was gone
the way she walked into the ranch like a tramp/bum was funny though! i recall JR said something sarcastic as he thought it was some drifter or something
and then she shocked them all as saying she was a Ewing!
and i used to love it when JR was nasty to her lol!
I totally hated Cliff Barnes. Ken Kercheval did such a great job, however, the selfishness and ignorance that Cliff possesed made me hate him.
Other than Cliff.... I hated Sheila Foley, because she was an awful character.
I'm sure there is more that I'll bring up at another day.
i hated donna,she was such a know it all.and i know alot of the posters like .no dis respect i just didnt like her.Originally Posted by midwestdj
Also hated barbra edens charcter,she walked in and took jr down when everyone eles was trying for years to bring him down that was fake.
Now heres one that changed i didnt like her in the beginning but by the end i liked her,
ewing 1 i have to tell you a funny story my mom and my aunt love the show where jamie dies its like they get pleasure out of watching that one,personally i thought she was ok.she would have been better if they gave her better lines and made her a little smarter.

I intensely disliked Sheila Foley, Leann De la Vega, and Katherine Wentworth. I also disliked Leslie Stewart. I know a lot of fans thought she was an awesome character, but I found her to be too cold and calculating - almost robotic. I couldn't warm up to her character. When she and JR finally went to bed, I remember thinking,"Poor JR, it's probably like having sex with an ice cube that doesn't melt."
I wasn't crazy about Anjelica Nero either - she was also too cold and cunning for my taste, and she had a weird dynamic with her assistant, Grace.
But the character I probably hated the most was Wes Parmalee. I used to cringe every time he was on and I was soooo happy when he finally left!

I forgot one - Jeremy Wendell. I found nothing rootable in his character. He was just all business and money, cold, cunning, mean, and nasty.
its not so much i hated jeremy he was creepy,he freaked me out most of the time
Scriptwriter
I agree - he was very creepy!
Board Regular
yeah i never really liked wendell either - he had the look of a villain on his face and after that range war storyline i really couldnt wait till the Ewings beat him in the end!
great quote at the time was ''Wendell i told you, that if my brother didnt get you, i would!''
infact check out this clip - Bobby Ewing vs Wendell! and if i am hearing correctly - Bobby uses the word d***

I Let My Evil Twin Post For Me
Really? Donna was my 2nd favorite female past Miss Ellie, this one shocks me.
I Let My Evil Twin Post For Me
I actually liked Jeremy Wendell. I thought William Smithers did such a fantastic job. He was creepy, especially when he told Sue Ellen he wanted to marry her, eww.
i loved suellens response,and donna wasnt bad at first i didnt really mind her so much but when they put her with ray and then he had problems dealing with her succus it was just wierd and i loved her with that boy she was going to adopt well that was a dream.
Newcomer
I hated Donna Reed,when she took over for one season as Miss Ellie,just the clothes and hair and the way she talked so phoney,glad when Barbara came back
The Ewings needed a worthy enemy and Jeremy Wendall was that. Cliff had been a joke for a long time by now.
Board Regular
am sorry I missed this yesterday - but I can't stop giggling at that
I tell you what as well I'm glad we didn't have to see her second death on screen like the one we saw in the dream season!
She married cliff Barnes being a Ewing - not just any old Barnes! But Cliff Barnes! Argghh and that whole tribunal in court was so great and how the ewings won with jack on there side and I remember JR after walked over and told him and Jamie something like "well Barnes I did warn you but now the whole world know what a loser you are"
Board Regular
i totally agree he was brilliantly acted by William Smithers but he was the bad guy at the time and like bronson mentioned cliff was a joke and got dumber and dumber by the day lol but Wendell had that slimey feeling about him and I loved it when he got busted lol take in mind I was only a child when I saw dallas and a lot of these opinions are from the 80s when I was still under the age of 12 like of Wendell and Katherine
but I won't take nothing away from there aacting apart from Jamie - she was a an embarrassment to the Ewing name!

Anybody else wanna name there hated characters ?
Jenna Wade!!!! What an unsympathetic woman!!! Her poor daughter had to endure life with that nitwit!!!
After Jenna, I could not stand Donna. She was ok at first but just grew less and less likeable!!!!!
i agree with the donna thing,and i liked jenna until she got pregant with bobbys kid,then she went horriable back to donna i always felt like they made donna better than ray,donna could touch a glass and it would be fine ray would touch it and it would crumble,donnas best was the dream season and then we were woke up,get it lol.......
I hated JR because of the way he treated Sue Ellen. He's the reason she was an alcoholic. I loved it when she bought that lingerie company and got rid of Mandy Winger even though she didn't really want JR anymore.
Board Regular
i didnt hate Jenna, but i did go off her character after she was no longer with bobby basically and with that saddletramp halfbred cowboy Ray
Ray's wife Donna certainly got on my nerves.
I did not hate Clayton but he did not belong there. JR was right Clayton was an outsider.
its funny because i like barbra eden and susan lucci but i didnt like either one of them on dallas...........

Reading this thread makes me realize my memory is worse than I thought LOL - half the names mentioned I don't even remember.
But I will add one that I will probably get slammed on and am perhaps in a minority - did not like Miss Ellie at all. Didn't hate her, just didn't like her. There was just something about her - too "goody goody" or holier-than-thou persona for want of a better description. Did not find her to be warm and fuzzy; not cold exactly, but not a sympathetic character for me.
thats ok its just how you feel,to me i didnt really care for the pam character after the first season in a half,she got real whinny,but theres alot of people on this board that love her,so they just put up with me.lol.miss ellie i liked but i thought she went down hill after marrying clayton,and jr felt the same way as i do..................

I hated;
Jenna Wade. Probably because I liked Bobby & Pam, and Ray & Donna.
Mandy Winger. Overstayed her welcome!

Dusty Farlow
Jamie Ewing

I hated April so much. She was sooo bad as a character and forced on Bobby. But I'm a huge Bobby and Pam fan so I guess that's why. Jamie Ewing was a waste of time for me too.

TeamBrenda I didn't care much for April either. I was so sad when she&Bobby married.
Senior Board Member
Right??? They were horrible together! And remember she slept with JR! Ugh, just couldn't stand her...

"They were horrible together! And remember she slept with JR! Ugh,..."
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^Oh I agree!I agree! "Ugh" hits it on the head for me too. In my mind April never fit with Bobby or the Ewings.
Board Regular
but she went through 3 ewing men! a record maybe
JR, Bobby and Jack!
Senior Board Member
Jack was pretty useless too and she came attached to his backstory that no one cared about! I kinda said "Woo Hoo" when she took a bullet!

haha @ your woohoo
well i was a big Bobby fan, he was my favourite and always loved him with Pam and i even liked him when he was with Jenna at first, until he got back with Pam
and then April!! noooooooo
i liked her - but not as Bobbys wife!
Senior Board Member
We are twins girl! Love Bobby, love Bobby and Pam, tolerated Jenna and Bobby (because they did have a backstory) until Pam and Bobby reunited!!!! I even was OK with Pam and Mark.
But April??? Just a waste of time.
