Who is your least favourite character from the series and why? There were so many that I don't think we need a poll here.

there's some ambiguity, I am afraid. The least favorite because I hated him/her, or because I think they were poorly written? If the latter, it's Susan and Rhea. (if the former, I got to think some more)
Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)
When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)
bears are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow Jean.
Roland would have understood.
This is a real tough one. I really don't dislike any character, truly I don't. I love the series so much. I mean Andy was a complete fuck, an evil traitorous sneak-thief. Rhea was just plain horrible. However, I am going to go with the character that annoyed me the most and that was Susan.
(Incidently, she is the reason why I will never vote for Wizard as my favorite book...go Wolves)
You guys make me look at Susan another way.
Roland would have understood.
Monte, I am ready to kill you (reason: jealousy). I've been arguing the weakness of Susan as literaty character for years at .net, and now you come and say one word, and Nikolett is inclined to look at her differently.

Aunt Cordelia bugged me immensely - I can't count the number of times I wanted to drag her out the page and slap her. But to that end Susan annoyed me for not taking a stand.
Cal Tower similarly annoyed me, but that goes to show how well written he was, because he was totally meant to wasn't he.
The pressure you and the others have been putting on my shoulders made me look at her differently. (But I haven't changed my mind yet.)Originally Posted by Jean

You are in it.
You are, dear.
Roland would have understood.
I liked these characters. Because they were so complex and with their mistakes they were so human-like.

Yes, I know what you mean! Your question is actually quite hard to answer because of the very point you just made. I can't think of anyone I outright loathed though - not even the CK, Flagg or Mordred - even they had sinister appeal.
I know.
Roland would have understood.
To Jean:
I have a magic spell over Letti...everything I say makes her defenses fall and makes her knees weak.
I agree with with Darkthoughts to:
Aunt Cord and Cal Tower were extremely obnoxious but they didn't grind on me like Susan did. Tower was actually so obnoxious he was amusing.

I liked Calvin Tower too just because he was such an amazing pain in the ass that it was funny.
Probably my least favorite character in the series would have to be Cordelia Delgado.

I think my least favourite (after a long thinking) is Walter.
Roland would have understood.
::heart attack::
I was waiting for this.
Roland would have understood.
Why is the clever/devious/shapeshifting sorcerer your least favorite?
I don't really have a least favorite. Some I liked more than others, but yeah, I'm definitely not a Susan fan. She was just to...needy to me, I guess.

Maybe I didn't see him this way.
Roland would have understood.
I'm still all for Susan, that girl stood when the chips came down reguardless.
There aren't many people you could count on to murder old friends in an effort to spring you.
I hated the Taheen and Calvin Tower the most
The kindness of close friends is like a warm blanket
Calvin is so cute.
Really.
Roland would have understood.
Which taheen? Or all of them?
