The best and worst characters

Personally Willie was the best character. Vanessa Williams played her role to a T. She was funny, sexy, and deadly serious. I want to know how she kept a straight face with some of the line she and Marc had to deliver.

Betty is next. America committed to the situations they placed her in. She just ran with her character. I also like the way Willie respected Betty. Even though she had wicked comments about the way she dress and the tone of her voice she always gave her tips in making it in the publishing business. Also she never tried to fire Betty but steal her from Daniel.

I hated Molly. I felt bad that she died of cancer but she was annoying. Gio was a waste of time.

I'm finally watching Ugly Betty (I'm currently in the beginning of season 3), and so far, this is my opinion about its characters:

Love: Betty, Wilhelmina, Marc, Claire, Daniel

Dislike/Hate: Alexis, Henry, Sofia, Charlie, Kimmie, Renee

I'm currently rewatching the show!
Surprisingly, for me at least, is that I actually enjoyed all the main characters. And that doesn't happen to me often. Of course I have my favorites (probably Marc, Betty and Justin) but I did like all of them! All of them irritated me at some point, but I also liked/had a soft spot for all of them. I think I can partly credit the writers for developing great characters and partly because of the actors that did an amazing job!

I didn't really like Betty's love interests. Walter was annoying. And except for the very beginning, I didn't like Henry. I also didn't like Matt. Gio was alright, a little pushy but I believe he truly wanted the best for Betty.
Actually, I mostly liked the main cast and didn't really enjoy a lot of the guest appearances!
I did however, enjoyed Connor and especially how Wilhelmina changed around him. I liked Santos and how he slowly started to accept Justin and being proud him.
And I'm probably in the minority, but I liked Constance. She annoyed the hell out of me, but in a good way.

I'm watching season 2...I really like Betty, Hilda, Justin...and suprisingly Daniel.
I hate Amanda...she's so flat, annoying....her looks are ordinary, her character is superficial... i think she should've been left out from the show.

Re-watching the show for the 2nd time.

I'd say along with Betty that Amanada, Claire and Willi are my faves. Willi was such a fantastic villain.

Amanda always brightens up my day and Claire was a brilliant character. I loved her interactions with Buffy and this odd kind of mother/daughter type relationship they had. I sometimes feel like with the absence of Betty's Mum, that Claire fills that void somehow.

Speaking of later additions... Bobby too.

All of Betty's guys, I didn't really like. Gio was probably my fave which doesn't say much. Henry, Jesse and Matt were all idiots.
