Glee is known for having a sizable ensemble cast where supporting characters come and go like musical chairs. Considering the show takes place in a school setting, this isn't too surprising because there are tons of students and teachers to cover.
Some of these characters are likable and even well developed, while others simply make our skin crawl. Who are some of the supporting characters from the Fox musical series that we just cannot stand? Keep reading to find out!
10 DAVE KAROFSKY
Dave Karofsky can easily be described as one of the most complex characters on the show. During the first few seasons, he is portrayed as a one-dimensional jock. He existed to represent the small town half-wit who constantly tortured Kurt with homophobic remarks. It isn't until the episode "Never Been Kissed" that we realize Karofsky's suppressed sexuality as he passionately kisses the boy he has been bullying for so long.
This was only the beginning of Karofsky's complexities, as we later discovered he had been suffering from mental health issues and suicidal thoughts. We grew to sympathize with his character and care for his well being as the series explored his character more, but at the beginning of the series, we couldn't stand him and wanted him out of the picture as quickly as possible.
9 TERRI SCHUESTER
Terri Schuester was Will's wife during the first season of Glee. She was quite possibly the most selfish character on the entire show, due to the ruthless way she treated Will. Terri was extremely controlling and she never seemed to support Will's dreams and ambitions. Yet that wasn't nearly the worst of it.
The worst thing she had done was when she faked her pregnancy for months in an effort to keep her husband from leaving her. She even planned on pretending that Quinn Fabray's baby was their own. It was awful, childish behavior and we're glad Will was able to leave that relationship for a healthier one with Emma.
8 SUGAR MOTTA
Sugar Motta joined the Glee club in season 3, and it did nothing to improve the series. Her character was simply all over the place and people didn't exactly know what to think about her, considering she was nothing more than entitled.
Sugar was one of the many additions that indicated the series' decline, considering Glee used to be known for its colorful and multidimensional characters. When Sugar arrived, it felt as though the writers were just getting lazy.
7 SANDY RYERSON
Sandy Ryerson was quite an odd and unsettling addition to the world of Lima, Ohio. Although as teachers it is their job to protect the students, Mr. Ryerson only seemed to exist to cause harm amongst the student body. He actively tried to get the kids in trouble in order to feel good about himself, and he had been caught engaging in a number of illegal activities with the students.
This included him selling them illegal substances and even going so far as to inappropriately touch a student. We were glad when he left the show because his presence was just insanely creepy and unnecessary.
6 KEN TANAKA
Ken Tanaka was Emma Pilsbury's fiance on Glee, as well as Mckinley High's football coach. His character had little to no respect for himself and his redeeming qualities were minimal at best.
Ken Tanaka became unlikable once it was made very clear to us (as well as himself) that Emma had no feelings for him. Instead of letting her go so she could be happy, he took the selfish approach by trying to keep her around even though he knew she was miserable in their relationship.
5 KITTY WILDE
It is never a good idea for a TV series to try and replace their characters with people who are basically clones of the original cast. This is exactly what the Fox musical comedy does when they bring Kitty Wilde into the picture.
She feels like a replica of Quinn Fabray and it just cheapens her character along with the final seasons. If the writers would have created characters that felt totally new and original rather than lazy clones of the original cast of characters, perhaps more people would have kept on watching.
4 JESSE ST. JAMES
Jesse St. James is an amazing character on Glee, and getting to see Lea Michele act and perform alongside Jonathan Groff felt like an honor to watch. Although Jesse brought a lot to the show, his character as a whole was not a very good person. This was especially true in the first handful of seasons when he completely disregarded Rachel's feelings and instead put his singing career in front of everything else.
Later on, he became more sympathetic, but for a long period of time, he just seemed to use Rachel and cause more harm than good.
3 ALMA LOPEZ
Alma Lopez is Santana Lopez's grandmother on Glee. One of the show's most beloved pairings is the relationship between Santana and Brittany, who started off as best friends than slowly realized their love for each other. When Santana came out to her mother as a lesbian, Alma's response was far from compassionate.
Alma is unable to accept who her daughter loves, and we never get any resolution with this heartbreaking situation. It is extremely unfortunate, considering the way that Santana has always looked up to her grandmother.
2 ROD REMINGTON
Rod Remington is an anchorman in Lima, Ohio who works with Sue Sylvester on "Sue's Corner" as well. Although the cheerleading coach isn't one to give her heart to just anyone, Sue eventually allows herself to be vulnerable by accepting an offer to go on a date with Rod.
We see a whole new side of Sue when the two date, but this is short-lived after we discover Rod has been shamelessly cheating on Sue with his co-anchor. Doesn't he know better than to mess with the one and only Sue Sylvester?
1 HOLLY HOLLIDAY
Holly Holliday is a character portrayed by Gwenyth Paltrow in season 2 of the Fox musical series. On the show, she is the substitute coach for the Glee club while Will is out sick. Holliday simply feels like a contrived advertisement designed to show off Paltrow's "singing and dancing" chops.
She doesn't feel like a real character, but instead a poorly written attempt for people to check out Paltrow's soon to come film at the time, Country Strong (2010).
