12 Characters Who Wasted Our Time in 2015

at .

What happens when a character gets on our nerves?

It feels like they're just chewing up the scenery in all the best shots and taking away from time that could be well spent with the characters we DO love, that's what happens.

The 12 characters listed below have the distinction of wasting our time in 2015. 

Agree or disagree? Hit the comments with your thoughts!

1. Patty Spivot - The Flash

Patty from The Flash. We really, really want to like her but just can't get on board. Her and Barry seem really forced and we are just not feeling it.

2. Ashildr/Me - Doctor Who

Ashildr/Me from Doctor Who quickly devolved into an unlikable karma Houdini. Is her story tragic? Surely, but no more so than many others, so her attitude, behavior, and treatment of other characters grate on the nerves in short order. And now she has a TARDIS, too. Really?

3. Sally Langston - Scandal

Sally Langston on Scandal. Thankfully she’s been relegated to a far right wing talking head but even with only a scene or two a week she’s difficult to watch as she almost literally chews on the scenery with every word. She may serve as a counterpoint to the President’s agenda but each time she hits the screen we roll our eyes so hard it almost hurts.

4. Jerry Tyson - Castle

Jerry Tyson (3XK) on Castle. The diabolical serial killer first turned up in Castle Season 3 when he set up his former cellmate to take the fall for his killings, until Rick figured out the truth. Ruining 3XK’s plans put Castle on his hit list. Tyson re-emerged in Castle Season 5 when he tried to set Rick up for a horrific murder.

Later, with the help of his psychotic partner in crime Dr. Kelly Nieman, Tyson made his latest victims look like people Castle cared about. It took until the epic Castle Season 7 two-parter for Rick Castle (with the help of Ryan and Esposito’s sniper training) to take Jerry Tyson down for good as Kate Beckett ended Dr. Nieman. It was time for this villain to come to an end, but that doesn’t mean Castle fans won’t miss the smart and scary cat and mouse game he played with our heroes.

5. Howard Lyman - The Good Wife

Howard Lyman on The Good Wife. Howard is a partner in a law firm where he frequently lounges around in his underwear. What began as a joke of a character has just turned cringe worthy. Howard makes sexist comments about all of the women and racist comments about anyone who doesn’t look like him.

Partner or no, he should have been forced out long ago, but instead even Diane make excuses for him to stay. It’s become difficult to watch but given that Howard just got engaged to Jackie, we’ll probably be seeing more of him instead of less.

6. Heretics Nora and Mary Louse - The Vampire Diaries

Mary Louise and Nora on The Vampire Diaries. I really WANT to care about their story, because I think it's quite unique...but they just spend so much time whining and fighting that I just can't. I feel like the time wasted on them could be spent on Bonnie, Matt, Alaric, or any other established character, really. There are so many plots going on right now that theirs, unfortunately, just needs to go.

7. Malcolm Merlyn - Arrow

Malcolm Merlin from Arrow. We love the actor but are super over his character! He is like the weird creepy uncle of the Arrow world. Just go away!

8. Sean Roman - Chicago PD

Sean Roman from Chicago P.D. is just not a very interesting or likable character. Giving him the kid with cancer story line helped a little, but it was ruined when he got too close to the kid's mom. He makes terrible choices, and his crush on the engaged Burgess is annoying, not to mention the awful advice he has given her.

Chicago P.D. Season 3 Episode 9 left off with Roman shooting an unarmed man, and while chances are Voight will get him out of it, we would not mind if it leads to Roman leaving the show.

9. Rowena - Supernatural

Rowena from Supernatural just won't go away. She was supposed to be a big bad, but that obviously didn't pan out. Instead, she's an over-the-top cartoon that somehow manages to keep getting away from Sam and Dean as much as she keeps worming her way into storylines.

And unfortunately Supernatural Season 11 couldn't turn things around for her to make her any more interesting or villainous, so we have to keep hearing her spout out ridiculous things like Mega Covens or being a fan girl of Lucifer. It's just tiresome at this point.

10. Zelena - Once Upon a Time

Zelena on Once Upon a Time. The Wicked Witch of the West swept into Storybrooke to take on her sister Regina, but fans quickly started to think of her as the Whiny Witch instead. Her constant chorus of "Mommy Loved You More Than She Loved Me" got old fast.

It actually looked as though there was hope for Zelena to turn things around with the birth of her baby daughter (who still remains nameless!), but when she decided that to stick to her selfish, evil ways, Regina sent her back to Oz. There seemed to be so much potential but the truth is, Zelena can stay in Oz if she’s only going to continue to whine about her life.

11. Vikram Singh - Castle

Vikram Singh on Castle Unfortunately our once favorite show has a whole list of horrible characters this season, both new and old, but the one we want to see gone the most is Vikram Singh. He swooped in and suddenly became Kate Beckett’s new de facto partner thanks to the silly Loksat mess. Not only has he taken Rick Castle’s rightful place at Beckett’s side, but he’s openly anti-Castle and anti-Caskett.

He’s actively tried to keep our favorite couple apart all the while claiming it’s for the greater good. We don’t think it’s been good for anyone…certainly not the audience. Vikram is the one character we’re enthusiastically hoping will become a fatal victim of this latest boring conspiracy case and his demise can’t happen soon enough!

12. Juliette - Grimm

Juliette from Grimm had such potential that felt sadly squandered in the back half of Grimm Season 4. Instead of compelling, she became a one-note vengeance-obsessed villain everyone was glad to see offed in the end. Her apparent resurrection in Grimm Season 5 Episode 6 seemed to many to be a twist they never wanted. It remains to be seen whether Juliette (or whatever she's become) will be able to redeem herself in the eyes of fans, but some would rather she had just stayed dead.
