Stephanie Mills – All In The Family
Up next, we have another child character that was despised by the fans. Stephanie Mills was introduced as the niece of Archie Bunker in All in the Family. Her alcoholic father abandoned her and left her on their front porch. Unfortunately, her tragic backstory did not warm the hearts of her fans. People believed she had ruined the family’s dynamic. On the other hand, some viewers thought she was an excellent counterpoint to Archie’s liberal views. He was initially dismissive of her because she was Jewish.
Emily – Friends
To be fair, Emily was a popular character on Friends when she first appeared. This did not last long, however, as fans assumed she was stealing Ross from Rachel. The couple was about to tie the knot when he addressed her as “Rachel” during their vows! Fans were relieved when the relationship ended because she was irrational and jealous. She not only wanted him to join her in London, but she also wanted him to cut ties with the rest of the gang. We can see why fans thought he escaped with his life!
