What's a character who was meant to be liked in a show, but who everyone ended up hating? (piefed.social)

Replacement characters traditionally have a tough time:

Dr. Pulaski on STTNG. "PMS Bitchface" some called her.

The replacement Duke brothers cousins.

Chrissie (Suzanne Somers) replacement on Three's Company. And the replacement for the Ropers wasn't that great either.

    But that's what I liked about her!

    Same. I don't think she was supposed to be likeable. I feel like she was supposed to be brusque and nailed it. Like Bev was grand and all but I liked Pulaski better as a character.

    There were two characters on Threes Company to become roommates after Chrissy left. Cindy was a mid season replacement in season 5, and then Terri started at the beginning of season 6. Cindy was a disaster, figuratively and literally. Terri was a more empowered role.
