It&#39;s no surprise that many of us believe that Rick Grimes (played by <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/best-walking-dead-actors/conbrae5" target="_blank">Walking Dead&nbsp;actor</a> Andrew Lincoln) is the best character on The Walking Dead.&nbsp;The same can be said for Daryl Dixon (Norman Reedus) and several other original characters, some who are, sadly, no longer with us.

Game of Thrones

Best TV

The most hated Game of Thrones characters are despised for a number of reasons. Some were responsible for the death of a fan-<a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/best-game-of-thrones-characters">favorite GoT character</a> or two. Others torture prostitutes instead of just sleeping with them like normal boys. Others retreat from attacks on the city while sending the common folk into battle. Wait, those people are all Joffrey Baratheon.&nbsp;

As it turns out, however, Joffrey is not the only detestable GoT character (go fig), but is joined by multiple <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/the-best-members-of-house-lannister/ranker-of-thrones" target="_blank">members of his family</a> as well as a slew of other morally flexible citizens of the realm of Westeros. Whether they murder, lie, cheat, steal, or all of the above, there are plenty of people to hate in a series that regularly kills off fan favorite characters (and imprisons, rapes, and slanders others).

Big actors often have&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/most-notoriously-difficult-actors-to-work-with/celebrity-lists" target="_blank">equally big egos</a>,&nbsp;and when those egos are forced to compete for airtime, jokes, and accolades, it can <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/co-stars-who-hated-each-other/jacob-shelton" target="_blank">understandably lead to friction</a>. Some of the best <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/movie-friends-who-hated-each-other/megan-summers" target="_blank">cinematic buddies were&nbsp;at each other&#39;s throats</a> during filming, and television is no different.

Making a TV show can be a grueling marathon, especially if the show is popular and lasts for several seasons. In this crucible, it frequently seems that off-screen relationships between co-stars develop in one of two ways: They either bond over their shared circumstances and the cast becomes like a family, or they grind away at each other&#39;s nerves and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/tv-couples-who-hated-each-other-in-real-life/donn-saylor" target="_blank">form&nbsp;bitter, barely-contained feuds</a> that almost always spill over the soundstage and into the headlines.

When fans come to love a show - and the relationships on that show - it&#39;s nice to think that the same chemistry exists between the characters in real life. This is not always the case,&nbsp;as fans of&nbsp;Sex and&nbsp;the City, Beverly Hills, 90210, The Good Wife, and even The Golden Girls&nbsp;know -&nbsp;or are soon to find out. Here&#39;s a look at some famous TV besties who were bitter enemies when the cameras stopped rolling.

The Most Annoying Characters On 'Avatar: The Last Airbender', Ranked

Game of Thrones Awards

This list of the best, most interesting characters from HBO&#39;s Game of Thrones&nbsp;series has been voted on by tens of thousands of GoT fans. Though the complicated study of power dynamics in the fantasy kingdom of Westeros may not have too many identifiable or even sympathetic lead characters, it has nonetheless produced a wide variety of compelling, entertaining and outsized personalities, from the brutal boy king Joffrey Baratheon to his diminutive but ingenious cousin Tyrion Lannister to their rivals, <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/all-members-of-house-stark/ranker-of-thrones?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">the Stark family</a> of Winterfell and the &quot;Mother of Dragons,&quot; Daenerys Targaryen. But which characters are the true fan favorites, providing the most memorable moments and unexpected plot twists? While it&#39;s inevitably that a certain Bolton is likely to get heavily downvoted based on the true evilness of his character, hopefully some of the more nuanced &quot;not purely evil&quot; characters will maintain high rankings based on the opinion of true fans (like yourself, dear reader!).&nbsp;

HBO&#39;s Game of Thrones&nbsp;show is based on the Song of Ice and Fire&nbsp;cycle of novels by fantasy author George R. R. Martin.&nbsp;Martin has said that the series was partially based on the real &quot;War of the Roses&quot; that engulfed England in civil war in the 15th Century. Those conflicts concerned a rivalry between the houses of Lancaster and York, whose names clearly provided inspiration for the rival families of Lannister and Stark in the GoT universe. While this list is focused on characters from the TV series, voters who have both seen the show and read the books will probably vote somewhat differently given the additional nuance they will bring to their opinion of this unique ranking. This list ranks every major Game of Thrones character from best to worst, and given how many fans have voted on it, it&#39;s the definitive ranking of GoT&nbsp;fan favorites

Villains and Bad Guys

Trending on Ranker

In the era of fairly accurate historical dramas like The Crown and Downton Abbey, it&rsquo;s no secret that many television characters are directly based on real historical figures. Equally as often, however, thin historical homages are hidden within popular TV shows - characters that are real-life people in everything but name. Sometimes, of course, it&rsquo;s the TV villains that are based on people.

Somehow, a <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/tv-characters-based-on-real-people/lisa-waugh" target="_blank">television antagonist based on a real person</a> is more impactful than when it&rsquo;s one of the good guys. Knowing that the same character stalking the heroes of our favorite TV shows once stalked - or, occasionally, still stalks - our own world is a terrifying thought, and one that gives brand new meaning to the horrors of reality television.&nbsp;

What do we talk about when we talk about love? Perfect, sickeningly sweet, often unhealthy couples in film, TV, and other media who set up impossible standards to which our real-world flesh & blood relationships will never live up. Let's dissect 'em.

Love on Screen

This current television couples list includes romantic pairs who are currently together and totally the best. The best current TV couples of 2017&nbsp;spark our imagination, make the work week shorter, and keep fans tuning in to see what they&#39;re up to next.&nbsp;

The <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/best-and-quot_we-got-married-and-quot_-couples/onlysuy?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">best couples</a> on TV also give us something to believe in while watching someone else go through all of the ups and downs of a relationship. TV writers like to build tension, pulling two characters slowly. It&rsquo;s maddening but when it pays off, it can be very gratifying. A series allows relationships to develop, and encounter obstacles. On TV, you can date your co-worker, break up their current relationship, and turn up like a bad penny at the worst possible time. Some couples, like Booth and Brennan on Bones, seem unsinkable, but then you never know what&rsquo;s brewing in a writer&rsquo;s room.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Do you enjoy a slow burn between couples or a quick romance with lots of on again, off again? Are love triangles intriguing. Do you like to see current couples from TV last over seasons, or run their course and then move on? <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-current-television-duos/ranker-tv" target="_blank">Maybe a little bit of both</a>? What&rsquo;s the secret ingredient to good chemistry between the best couples on television now? Bitter, sweet, overcoming demons, fighting against an outside threat?&nbsp;&nbsp;

It&rsquo;s difficult to predict how a TV couple will rate with viewers. Move too quickly and viewers may not invest in the fictional lovebirds. Making characters wait too long is an exercise in frustration. Casting, acting, direction, but mostly writing, can either elevate a couple with the fandom, or doom it from the beginning. TV relationships are as fragile as real ones, it seems.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Who are you rooting for among TV&rsquo;s best current couples? Ichabod and Abbie? Penny and Leonard? Jake and Olivia? Is it time for Carol and Daryl to shine? Or will Mindy and Danny take the crown? Upvote <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/the-ultimate-favorites-list/stevo200?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">your favorites</a> and see who reigns the love kingdom.

TV Characters We Love & Hate

poll

List of TV's most memorable characters, of all time, chosen by the Ranker community. What makes a character live on in the public's memory, even years after the original run of their respective TV programs? In some cases, it's the amount of depth that the show's writers, actors and other creators were able to bring to the character over the course of many years. For many of the greatest TV characters of all time, audiences feel like they get to know personalities like Dexter Morgan from &quot;Dexter.&quot; Even after the show leaves the air, they may not want that relationship to end. (Thankfully, they don't have to, as many shows live on for years after their cancellation on DVD and in syndication.) The best TV characters are ones that you feel like you know and that you'd want to be friends with.TV has brought many famous characters to life who have been extremely compelling, even if they are not entirely likeable. Viewers may not wish to know dangerous, shadowy figures like Tony Soprano, Vernon Schillinger, and Omar Little in reality, but following their exploits safely from the comfort of your living room can be appealing. Likewise, people who might be aloof or downright unpleasant in real life - think &quot;Mad Men's&quot; Don Draper or Al Swearengen of &quot;Deadwood&quot; - can prove charming, even admirable, when seen at a distance, with the subtext and intricacy that a top long-running TV show can provide.Who is the greatest TV character ever? This list contains the names of the greatest, most fascinating, and most enduring fictional characters from TV of all time. Be sure to vote for your favorites, and if some of your favorite popular characters aren't represented, go ahead and re-rank the list to contribute to the discussion.

We all remember losing our favorite characters -- Elliot Stabler (Law &amp; Order SVU), Mark Greene (ER), Diane Chambers (Cheers), Fox Mulder (The X Files), Kalinda Sharma and Will Gardner (The Good Wife), Mathew Crawley (Downton Abbey) and practically everyone we started to emotionally invest in on Game of Thrones or The Walking Dead. They get killed off, leave town, die of a terminal illness, get kidnapped, or sometimes just get transported to another world. Regardless of how they were written off (or why the actor chose to leave), they leave a gaping void in the show they built. This list is about ranking the greatest losses, whether the characters were good or evil. We wish the characters would have stayed because there were so many more stories to tell.&nbsp;Without them, the TV show went on but was never quite the same.&nbsp;
