Even the best television characters can be morally bankrupt. They can do the most despicable things, yet we still like them for some reason.
Maybe it's all the drama they cause that makes their presence so much more addictive.
Regardless, most of these characters are not going anywhere, and there's a reason for that.
Have a look through the gallery.
1. Kieran - Scream
Kieran had the residents of Lakewood fooled. He made them all think he was this great boyfriend to Emma Duvall, but secretly, he was Piper’s accomplice and was helping butcher Emma’s friends and just generally make her life hell. Hopefully with Brandon James in the mix, he’ll get what’s coming to him.
2. Negan - The Walking Dead
You could say that Negan had every right to corner Rick and his group after butchering some of his own, but Negan is the one who thinks he owns all the groups in his vicinity. We’re sitting here waiting on tenterhooks to find out which of out favorite characters are going to be killed by him. It's his way, or your head bashed in, apparently.
3. Katherine - The Vampire Diaries
Katherine Pierce is the polar opposite of Elena Gilbert. Katherine lacks heart, but she more than makes up for it with her quick wit and sass. If Nina Dobrev books a return visit to Mystic Falls, we must get at least one more episode with Katherine.
4. Sin Rostro - Jane The Virgin
Sin Rostro has been changing her face throughout the two seasons of Jane the Virgin and just generally doing some pretty shady things. She revels in having the upper hand.
5. Jenna - Pretty Little Liars
Jenna’s eyes were damaged due to “the jenna thing,” but is she really blind? She seems to know a lot of things about A, so there's that.
6. Cersei - Game of Thrones
Cersei has always been an opportunist, but her most morally bankrupt moment has got to be blowing up the septum and taking over the Iron Throne. This led to the death of her son, Tommen.
