Who are your least favorite side characters on Charmed? Mine are Sheridan, Leslie, Chris, and Jason.

Jason, Leslie, Coop, Richard, Brody, and Sheridan.
Jason seemed like a jerk. Even when he was being genuine he had this smirky face.
Nick Lachey is the worst actor I've ever seen.
Coop was a last-minute addition so Phoebe could become a wife and mother, clearly the most important things for each of the characters to end up as.
Richard came with too much baggage.
Brody didn't listen to others enough, and went too far to do what he wanted with little to no thought to anyone else.
Sheridan was supposed to be unlikeable, of course, but sometimes shows go too far in their casting. I didn't enjoy not liking her.

I hated all of Phoebe's and Paige's side pieces in S4-8. None were worth watching. Only exception is Drake who I wish had 3 seasons while Cole only had one 8-week arc. I loved Drake as the former demon much more than Cole as the half-demon, because I don't think being half should've taken away 100 years of being a mercenary demon. Due to that, I think Phoebe and the show would've been much better had he had only one arc (with Phoebe vanquishing him in 'Sleuthing') and Drake with the rest of the series, with her marrying him rather than Coop and him dying with her pregnant with his child - Ladybug, her ONLY child.

Dan. His character was way too stereotypical and cliche: "the hot nice guy, next door". He really didn't fit in well with the series. I think he would've worked better, had he been with Phoebe instead of being a plot device, for Piper & Leo's relationship and wasting a lot of screen time, on a relationship, that wasn't going to go, anywhere.
At the very least, Phoebe & Jason and Phoebe & Leslie had potential, and I would feel the same with Phoebe & Dan. Piper & Dan, however, it was not happening and completely one-sided.
That whole arc makes watching S2 really hard, for me.

Sheridan. She was brutal!
Jack - the guy Prue dated after Andy. He was such a loser (no offence to anyone who likes him).
Jenny was fairly annoying.
Most of the people Paige & Phoebe dated with the exception of Drake and Henry.

Same. He's the only one to ever bring out Prue's more playful side. None of her other significant others (not even Andy) could do that. I really enjoyed watching him relax Prue. Their relationship is the highlight of S2, for me. EDIT: I (also) have this theory, he's the one who helped "push Prue" to obtaining Astral Projection. Because she obtains it, in the Hellfire episode, and both times she used it was to still be with Jack, in some form. Whether, she stays physically with him or Astral Projects herself, to him. He was always the target, of her Astral Projection, in that episode. |

I also didn't really find him that cute... |

I'm so over stories pulling the "twin card", and Charmed's not the only one that did it, either. I'm so sick and tired of the "twin card", in some (not all) of the shows I've been watching. I won't name them, but I totally get what you mean! |

He was too silly for Prue long term, but I thought he was there for just the right amount of time. I agree. I thought Jack was the perfect "inbetween" guy for Prue, helping her to get past losing Andy (although I would've preferred if Leo stayed behind in S1 and Andy became their whitelighter) and helping her go from Buckland's to photography, although I'll always wish they'd shown her interest in it from the start. Unlike a lot of the "side characters" he truly played a part. I just wish she'd never slept with him. |

I must admit I have saw that actor in other TV shows and movies and I don't generally enjoy him - so I am biased against the actor. |

I was lucky in that I think the only characters on Charmed who I'd seen in something else were Shannen, Holly, Alyssa, Julian, Judy Gleeson, Amy Adams, Billy Zane and the two brothers in 'Saving Private Leo'. So I always judged most of the side characters as the roles they played on Charmed, not on what they had been in before. And I HATED Billy Zane in "Titanic" while I LOVED him as Drake on Charmed. |

I always forget he was in Titanic - he was such an easy to hate character - so I guess he played the role well but he was still a creepy jerk. I actually know quite a few... Kathryn Joosten played the magicians assistant in the episode where the sisters were trapped in alternate realities that were there greatest desires. Kathryn played Karen McClusky in Desperate Housewives. Also I know Charisma Carpenter from Buffy/Angel - she was one of the best parts of those shows and she was also excellent in Charmed. And of course Norman Reedus plays Darryl in TWD and played Nate - the two timing guy Paige was dating. Jason Lewis also played Dex in season 8 - he was Smith Jerrod in Sex and the City. He was seriously so terrible in Charmed but I loved him *SO* much in SATC. He was Samantha's long time younger boyfriend - those two had more chemistry than Alyssa and him did. Unfortunately I think the only cast him so they could do that really cringey "Malice in Wonderland" Sex and the City style episode. Truly tragic (haha). |

Jason Lewis and even Nick Lachey was just so horrible. The acting was so bad. I'm so glad they were only part of as 6-episode arc, can you imagine putting up with them for a full season arc. |
