GLAMOUR list Nine female TV characters that we don’t ever want to see again

1 Flawless sleeper

Perfect hair! Full makeup in bed! She’s supposedly waking up after a drunken one-night stand, but really looks more groomed than we ever do.

4 Admiring sidekick

She’s the superhero’s mortal pal who’s wowed by his powers, or the cop who can’t crack the case until the male detective does. In other words: a reductive cliché written by a lame man.

7 Obstacle girlfriend

Our heroine’s dream guy is taken. But it’s OK because his girlfriend is annoyingly, and conveniently, naggy. This hardly reflects well on him – or on our heroine when she steals him.

2 Breakup casualty

She sits cross-legged on the couch in PJS, eating whole tubs of ice cream and crying. We love you, Bridget Jones, but you have a lot to answer for.

5 Adorable goof

She’s supposed to be awkward, makes the odd blunder and drops things. So cutely klutzy! Luckily, she looks like a supermodel or she’d be annoying. Wait – she’s still annoying.

8 Bitchy-but-not cheerleader

Hair-tossing, eye-rolling and wearing the skimpy outfit 24/7? Doesn’t happen, despite what pervy middleaged TV executives might believe.

3 Geek who isn’t really that geeky

“I’m such a geek,” she shrugs self-deprecatingly. FYI, looking cute in spectacles does not a geek make.

6 Miserably lonely career woman

“Love, kids or a fulfilling career – choose two, lady viewers, because you can’t have it all.” You can, actually, so bore off with your outdated views.

9 Tomboy who gets a makeover

She’s an individual (gross). Cue montage in which she’s transformed into an identikit girlie girl. Then we see she has boobs and boys notice her. Yawn.
