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.

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

With 385 episodes spanning 14 seasons, Degrassi: The Next Generation&nbsp;outlived most&nbsp;teen television fare, and introduced Degrassi&nbsp;characters that entertained kids everywhere after real school finished. Did anyone think this reboot of an &#39;80s teen soap opera would endure for so&nbsp;long? It&rsquo;s simultaneously endearing, ground-breaking, and lovingly mocked. At times it&#39;s laughably earnest and at others surprisingly cutting, like that time Ashley lobbed&nbsp;off all her hair.

But who stands as&nbsp;the best Degrassi: The Next Generation character? Perhaps it&#39;s&nbsp;Jimmy, the wheelchair-bound future rap superstar everyone&#39;s come&nbsp;to know and love and meme as Drake.&nbsp;On the other hand, maybe&nbsp;Holly J, sister of the mysterious, unseen Heather Sinclair, holds this&nbsp;title.&nbsp;If you prefer the&nbsp;OG characters, you may pick&nbsp;Paige, one of Degrassi High&#39;s original mean girls and full-time &quot;hun.&quot;&nbsp;All of your favorite Degrassi characters lie below, eager for you to rank their social status.

TV Characters We Love & Hate

Best TV

The creepiest characters on television mess with our heads, leave us wondering and stick in our heads for a long time after their respective TV shows air. These are the fictional TV characters we love to hate for one reason or another. They might not be the scariest TV characters in a traditional sense but these are the creepiest characters on our <a href="/crowdranked-list/the-best-tv-shows-of-recent-memory" target="_blank">favorite recent TV shows</a>.Creepy television characters come in all types with each taking creepy to a new and different level. Some don't hide their creepiness, such as Herbert, the suspected pedophile from &quot;Family Guy,&quot; or Dexter Morgan, the serial killer/forensic blood splatter analyst from the Showtime series &quot;Dexter.&quot; Fans know what to expect from that type of creepy character but often it's the creepers who leave you guessing that are the creepiest TV characters of all.Take Walter White, the main character in the Emmy Award-winning drama &quot;Breaking Bad.&quot; Mr. White was a seemingly harmless family man and high school teacher who &quot;broke bad&quot; and took on an alter ego capable of unspeakable crimes. The uncertainty of the realm of possibility for the character makes him incredibly fascinating and beyond creepy.The same goes for characters that are highly secretive or not completely explained which opens the doors for all types of creepy. &quot;LOST&quot; fans didn't know what the elusive Smoke Monster was for nearly all six seasons the show aired but it was well established that it was definitely a threat to take seriously.Whether these creepy TV characters put all their cards on the table and embrace their creepy tendencies or leave fans guessing what they will do next, each offer plenty of food for thought on some of our favorite television shows. Everyone is creeped out by something or other so if we missed your favorite creepy TV character, add him, her or it below.

Romance

During the course of nine seasons, it&#39;s safe to say that Jerry Seinfeld got around. We&#39;ve gathered all 45 of the lovely ladies that he either dated or was in a relationship with on the classic &#39;90s sitcom Seinfeld. Many of them were one- or two-episode guest roles, but a few of them managed to last a bit longer on one of the <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/greatest-television-dramas-of-all-time?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">best TV shows of all time</a>. This list includes all of Jerry&#39;s girlfriends from Seinfeld, and you get to help determine which of them were the best.

The ever-picky dater, Seinfeld&#39;s encounters with the opposite sex gave rise to classic one-liners like, &quot;They&#39;re real and they&#39;re spectacular!&quot; and &quot;We&#39;ll always have... pancakes.&quot; There were times when Jerry couldn&#39;t remember his date&#39;s name (Dolores, not Mulva), stumbled over ethnically sensitive words (Winona, the Native American), and couldn&#39;t deal with his date&#39;s &quot;man-hands&quot; (Jillian). From Elaine Benes to all the rest, some of the most memorable <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/seinfeld-guest-stars/julian-hoffman" target="_blank">Seinfeld guest stars</a> were Jerry&#39;s girlfriends, played by the likes of Lauren Graham, Amanda Peet, Debra Messing, and Kristin Davis.

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

List of the best will-they-or-won’t-they couples in TV history, current or past. These ‘will they or won’t they?’ couples have added romantic tension to the best television shows and given viewers a reason not to miss an episode -- after all, no one wants to say they missed the moment when a will-they-or-won’t-they TV couple finally did or didn’t. Sometimes frustrating, sometimes sweet, the best will-they-or-won’t-they couples viewers have enjoyed are on this list, from early television to currently-running series.&nbsp;The ‘will they or won’t they’ trope is nothing new to TV shows, and the list of problems that can keep seemingly destined-for-each-other couples apart is nearly endless. One half of the will-they-or-won’t-they couple might already have a boyfriend/girlfriend/wife/husband (think Pam and Jim) or the two may appear not to get along, even though viewers can sense the underlying romantic feelings. Other common problems for will-they-or-won’t-they TV couples are location, job or social position, or the unwillingness of one half to commit (think Carrie and Mr. Big). &nbsp;Sometimes a will-they-or-won’t-they couple causes problems for a TV series. If the biggest appeal of a show is whether a couple will get together, will viewers still tune in after they do? On the other hand, the ‘will they or won’t they?’ storyline can become too drawn out, leaving viewers irritated. Of course, will-they-or-won’t-they couples have also caused some of the most touching and most heartbreaking moments in television. The first kiss or a marriage proposal after a drawn out will-they-or-won’t-they storyline can even bring a tear to the eye.&nbsp;If you’ve lived every tension-filled moment with the best will-they-or-won’t-they TV couples in history, then you understand how powerful TV can be. Enjoy this list of the best will-they-or-won’t-they TV couples and vote your favorites up.

Favorite Star Trek characters from throughout the history of the Star Trek franchise of the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-best-scifi-television-series-of-all-time">sci-fi show</a>. This list gathers the best, most interesting characters from Star Trek, including all the Star Trek TV series, Star Trek films and associated media. The list order is determined by fielding suggestions from Ranker users for Star Trek characters, and then open voting for which characters are the absolute best.

Widely regarded as the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-best-scifi-television-series-of-all-time">greatest sci-fi TV series</a> of all time, the original Star Trek&nbsp;debuted on September 8, 1966 (after an initial pilot which didn&#39;t feature series regular William Shatner.) The show initially performed well in the ratings, but dropped off strongly in the first season. It was eventually cancelled during its third season. However, the show&#39;s cult status and passionate fanbase transformed it into one of the most famous and iconic TV and film series of all time (and they even made a <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/star-trek-games/video-game-info" target="_blank">Star Trek video game series</a>). There have since been numerous spin-off shows (including <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-star-trek-the-next-generation-episodes/reference" target="_blank">Star Trek: The Next Generation</a>, Deep Space Nine,&nbsp;and <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-star-trek-voyager-episodes/reference" target="_blank">Star Trek: Voyager</a>.) Star Trek characters also spawned multiple film franchises. In addition to the films starring the original cast, and the group of films featuring Star Trek: The Next Generation&nbsp;characters, J.J. Abrams&#39;s 2009 reboot introduced a parallel Star Trek&nbsp;universe populated by new actors playing the classic heroes.

If your favorite Star Trek characters names aren&#39;t listed, be sure to add them and rerank the list. Also remember to vote for the overall best characters from Star Trek so they rise up the list. Oh, yeah, and live long and prosper.&nbsp;

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.

WARNING: Spoilers abound. If you&rsquo;re caught up on Season 9, you should be fine, though.

Walking Dead fans spend about 60% of their time discussing who will die before just about every episode. Watching the AMC show causes anxiety for this very reason alone. Who&rsquo;s actually going to make it to the end or very close to the end of The Walking Dead? Even though the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/how-does-twd-comic-end/stephanroget" target="_blank">TWD comic ended in July 2019</a>, the show and its source material have diverged enough that no one is truly safe.

Daryl Dixon doesn&rsquo;t even exist in the comic books but he&rsquo;s got fans so crazed, they border on the obsessive. Norman Reedus has vowed to strike the first match if they kill off Daryl so he might just make it through the apocalypse. A popular saying among Dead fans: &ldquo;If they kill Daryl, we riot.&rdquo; It helps that as a character, Daryl has the skills and the luck to make it through psychopathic overlords, cannibals, bloodthirsty gangs, and even the dreaded yuppies behind Alexandria&rsquo;s walls.

If you were placing bets during season one, there&rsquo;s no way you&rsquo;d expect the mousy, domestically-abused Carol to live through an episode, much less outlive Glenn and Abraham. Even Carl has grown from being an overly-protected little boy to a stone-cold calculating killer.&nbsp;Will The Walking Dead&rsquo;s producers kill off the boy who has lived through so much - even having to kill his own mother?

Remember, you&#39;re voting up the characters most likely to make it, not your favorite characters.&nbsp;Who will survive in this hard, cruel world all the way to the bitter end? Who would you choose as the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/strongest-walking-dead-characters/jonathan-kantor" target="_blank">Walking Dead characters</a> who will survive longest?

Characters We'll Never Forget

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 <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/small-details-in-fantasy-shows/shane-fraser?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">Game of Thrones</a> or <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/prop-and-wardrobe-details-in-the-walking-dead/shane-fraser?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">The Walking Dead</a>. 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;
