31 TV Characters Who Are The Reason To Keep Watching A Show
We asked the BuzzFeed Community to tell us which TV characters were the reason people kept watching a show. Here are some of the best responses:
Spencer Reid from Criminal Minds
"Spencer Reid from Criminal Minds needs to be on this list. He was the reason I kept coming back week after week. He deserved so much more and the writers always found something new to hurt him with season after season."—angelasn1179
Lafayette Reynolds from True Blood
"He was the reason a lot of people kept coming back even after the show jumped the shark. His character was golden. He was sassy, funny, witty, true to himself, and he deserved every happiness."—thia_m
Petra Solano from Jane the Virgin
"One of the best character arcs from any TV show. She started as a 'villain' and ultimately became the reason to tune in every week."—mythrip
Santana Lopez from Glee
"So much of her talent took a backseat to Rachel Berry, which wasn't fair. Santana's coming out storyline was one that I related to so much. I still remember hearing about her story with Brittany and that was when I started watching."—mcbrizzy30
Mike Chang from Glee
"Harry Shum Jr. as Mike was amazing. He was sidelined so much and I remember in most songs my eyes naturally went to him no matter who was singing. Mike and Brittany dancing during 'Valerie' alongside Santana were absolutely amazing."—amnahasan
Cheryl Blossom from Riverdale
Lena Luthor from Supergirl
"I've watched Supergirl religiously since the beginning and while I love Kara, Alex, Nia, and more, Lena Luthor is one of the reasons I've stuck with this show so long. Katie McGrath always impresses me in every single scene she's in and I'm so sad this show [ended] because it [meant] saying goodbye to Lena Luthor."—noradominick
Stiles Stilinski from Teen Wolf
"Stiles Stilinski, hands down. Stiles was always the most entertaining character, but Dylan O'Brien absolutely BLOSSOMED during Season 3 of Teen Wolf."—coril
Poussey Washington from Orange Is the New Black
"Hands down, Poussey. Her legacy has gone way past the legacies of the series, TBH."—annemieke73
Spencer Hastings from Pretty Little Liars
"The first few seasons of PLL were good, but by the time it reached the time jump, it was awful. However, Spencer stayed iconic throughout the entire show. She was smart, witty, kind, strong, and confident. I could go on for hours about why she's the best character on this show. She always felt like the true main character and I was completely invested in her during all seven seasons."—philbainerr12
Castiel from Supernatural
"The show was on for such a long time and it started to feel like it NEEDED to end, however Cas is who made it watchable until the very end."—fionaconner19
Cristina Yang from Grey's Anatomy
"Grey's Anatomy noticeably went downhill after Sandra Oh left. Cristina Yang was such a vital part of the story and her role in such a mainstream show felt really empowering to the Asian community. She was definitely the best part of Grey's."—districtrue
Lexie Grey from Grey's Anatomy
Logan Echolls from Veronica Mars
"Logan Echolls needs to be included on this list. His character development was incredible. I love him so much and he deserved so much better than the horrific ending he got. He was the reason I kept returning to Veronica Mars."—joseelacroix7
Margo Hanson from The Magicians
"She was snobby and elitist in the first season, but by the end of the show she was my favorite character. Watching her grow into the strong woman she was meant to be was worth enduring the Season 1 version of her character. She truly carried the final seasons and outshone everyone else."—lardneremilymarie
Lexa from The 100
"Lexa deserved so much better than The 100 and the show definitely went downhill after her death. This character deserved a full and beautiful storyline and she was the reason a lot of people watched." —avacado_thanks
Lincoln from The 100
"Lincoln was one of the only reasons I continued to watch The 100. When he was killed off, right after Lexa, I was so done."—estathom
Brooke Davis from One Tree Hill
"Brooke Davis carried One Tree Hill through all nine seasons! I love this show, but there sure are crappy parts, however Brooke always made it bearable. Sophia Bush did an incredible job and brought a truly amazing, badass character to life. Brooke had incredible character development and turned from a typical TV cheerleader into a strong and powerful woman."—mareng49dd7659a
Bonnie Bennett from The Vampire Diaries
"She repeatedly put her own wants and needs on the back burner to help save her friends and asked for nothing in return. Everyone just expected her to put her life on the line to save Elena's life without even asking her or considering her feelings, but she always did it anyway without one complaint. Bonnie was the true MVP of the show until the very end."—jeffatkinsgirl
Hope Mikaelson from Legacies
"Legacies is honestly the weakest of all The Vampire Diaries shows, but I still watch it because of how badass Hope is."—emmaloveschocolate
Killian Jones/Hook from Once Upon a Time
"I started watching the show only because of him. In the beginning the show was okay, but after Season 5 I only continued watching because of Hook."—sawyea
Rufus Carlin and Jiya from Timeless
"Personally, I think the show was literally 10 times better when the focus was on one of these characters. I got so bored whenever Lucy or Wyatt were on screen. But when Rufus or Jiya came on? Completely different show."—matdyjames
Spike from Buffy the Vampire Slayer
"I loved his character arc and there were definitely times when the show was lagging and I only watched for him."—jaxon621
Glenn Rhee from The Walking Dead
"I stopped watching around the time where they faked Glenn's death before he ultimately met his end thanks to Negan. I haven't watched to this day because I hated what they did to him and he was the reason I kept watching. Why did all the decent people on this show have to be killed so horribly?"—phil84vaive
Michonne from The Walking Dead
"Danai Gurira continued to carry The Walking Dead after Andrew Lincoln left and the show had definitely started to get better again. She played such a vital role in the later seasons."—femkat
Jake Ballard from Scandal
"Once Scott Foley entered the series, he became the reason I stuck with it to the end. I love Kerry Washington, but Jake was the character I rooted for. Scott's weekly performances were riveting because his character was relentless. I took it personally when the series ended with him in prison. He deserved the sun!"—mj2005
Winston Bishop from New Girl
"Winston needs his own show. He is truly the best character from New Girl."—jenniferlopez2
Miles Hollingsworth and Lola Pacini from Degrassi: Next Class:
"I loved them together as a couple, but even as individual characters, they both stole the show. Miles was one of the most complex, interesting characters in a long time and Eric Osborne's acting was phenomenal. Lola ended up being a surprise favorite of mine with her Season 3 storyline. I would have watched an entire spinoff just about the two of them."—kellymartinez
Lois Lane from Smallville
"She gets a lot of hate because some fans prefer Clark with Lana, but honestly, Lois made the show so much better with her humor and attitude. She was one of the reasons I stuck with Smallville."—dianascarlettaprilmason
Wes Gibbins from How to Get Away with Murder
"Wes was definitely one of the best characters on How to Get Away with Murder. I kept tuning in because I loved his relationships with Annalise, Laurel, and all of the other characters. When he died, it was hard to replace the magic he brought to the show."—noradominick
And finally, Kenzi Malikov from Lost Girl
"She remains such an entertaining character to this day. Lost Girl is filled with strong characters, but Kenzi was one of the reasons I kept coming back for more."—ana5289

Adults Are Sharing Their "I Can't Believe I Have To Explain This To Another Adult" Stories, And I Need To Lie Down After Reading These
Everyone's trying to figure life out, but common sense and knowledge do go...a long way.

She was so confused; she turned to me and asked, 'Who is Hiroshima?' I lost my faith in humanity that day." —Alex, 35, Nevada 3."My ex-husband thought that Christmas was on a different day every year, like Thanksgiving. This was in the '90s before smartphones, and we only had the internet at work, so the best I could do was show him a three-year calendar that showed Christmas always being on the 25th. In 10 years, I was never able to convince him that he wasn't right." —shinygoose103 4."I once had to explain to someone twice my age that chocolate milk does not come from brown cows.

He was in his 20s at the time." —Anonymous 6."My college-educated ex-husband thought that driving uphill meant he was driving north. He thought that since north is 'up' on a map, it must be the same on the ground. I asked him what direction we'd be heading when we crested the hill and went down the other side. He had to think it through for a long time before understanding." —Martha, 73, Florida 7."I had to explain to a man in his 60s that Japan is part of Asia." —deanf48acdde6c Related: I Can't Stop Cackling At These 47 Older Adults Who Are Funnier Than Most Comedians 8."I had to explain to a former sister-in-law that quitting 'cold turkey' did not actually include turkey." —Anonymous 9."In my mid-30s, I went back to school to finish college. I had at least three classmates ask if I was Italian, since my last name is Madrid. I explained each time that Madrid is the capital of Spain, and not a city in Italy. I just received blank stares from them." —Anonymous, 57, California 10."I had to explain to a coworker that going down on a guy wouldn't get them pregnant." —Anonymous 11."While preparing to move to Alaska, a coworker of mine asked what type of currency is used there.

Promptly at 12:35, she let us know that it was a quarter till. We all just kind of sat there, looking at her, before asking why she had alerted us at 12:35. She explained that a quarter till was 25 minutes before, saying, 'You know, like how a quarter is 25 cents.' She hasn't lived that one down since." —Anonymous 14."I had to explain to a NURSE that someone with a red meat intolerance cannot eat beef.

I printed out a blank map of America and gave it to her to fill out in her free time." —Anonymous 20."I once went on a date to see the movie, Titanic. My date was someone I worked with who, at 40, held a pretty prestigious position within the company. When the movie was over, I mentioned how tragic it was and how so many people lost their lives. He looked at me and said it was just a movie, so it's not like it happened in real life. When I told him that the Titanic actually sank, he refused to believe me and argued with me about it. Needless to say, our first date was also our last." —lunallee212 "That olives are NOT pickled grapes." —Anonymous Well, that was fun.

27 Shockingly Trashy Wedding Stories
We asked members of the BuzzFeed Community to tell us the tackiest, most entitled thing they've ever witnessed at a wedding. Needless to say, the replies were WILD. Here are some of the most jaw-dropping: "My husband's friends didn't like me, and boy, they showed it at my wedding. At my rehearsal dinner, one of the groomsmen brought a woman with him who was not invited, and their friend group had tried for years to hook her up with my husband. She tried to get his attention all night. Then the wife of the best man and the wife of another groomsman didn't show up at the wedding, and they spent the evening calling their husbands and asking when they were leaving. It was to the point that one almost missed the toasts because he was on the phone. They both left before the cake was cut. Then another groomsman cut out early because he had made a date for the night since he was wearing such a nice suit, which I had paid for! By the end of the reception, only my friends were there. It was really sad for my husband, who had put himself out for these jerks his whole life." "The new mother-in-law thought since she paid for the cake, she was entitled to cut herself a 'small piece' before the reception started, because, in her words, 'I think I might be diabetic and my sugar was dropping.'" "One of the bridesmaids made a speech about herself that dragged on. She told the bride that she was the princess because she, herself, was really the queen, and she should be thanking her for taking her under her wing. It was truly laughable. She also didn't wait in line for drinks or food. She went behind the bar to get her own drinks (there was a bartender) and cut the entire line to eat. She wouldn't let the bride get dressed to show us the first look and refused to leave the room. She complained about pictures and stopped doing them altogether. She demanded the groomsmen lift her up like in Dirty Dancing when they came in and got introduced. She cut a slit in her dress because she had to look sexy. And, at one point, she threw my purse out of the room." "I watched a bride yell at the hall manager that she ordered green beans instead of carrots. Everyone was seated for dinner, and she was at the head table, thrusting the plate of vegetables at him and yelling that she wasn't going to pay for that. The groom (my brother) should've known then that it was going to be a messy and expensive divorce." "This technically happened after the wedding. I was invited to the wedding of a young, very conservative Baptist. They made a big show of handing over their purity rings, the pastor gave a short sermon on waiting until marriage, then they did this foot-washing thing. It was all very cringey. Like, why was this whole wedding about sex? About two-ish weeks later, everyone who had been invited got a letter in the mail from the bride and her mother, where the mother made the bride tell everyone that she had gotten pregnant before her wedding and how exactly it had happened." "The bride's family paid for an open bar. At the end of the evening, the groom's family ordered and loaded up trays of drinks to take to their rooms to party. It was so egregious that the bar manager came to ask the bride's father if that was OK, as they were paying by the drink. He just shrugged and said yes. Fortunately, he could afford it." "I was in the Army with this real sweetheart of a guy. He was such a nice person, it was hard to believe he was a hardened combat veteran. I was part of his wedding (I led the saber arch), which was great. Everyone was having a wonderful time. But near the end of the reception, I ran into his older sister, who was stomping around the reception hall. She was mad—furious beyond compare. I chatted her up and found out what the problem was. Apparently, she couldn't understand how this entire ordeal, the wedding, the reception, everything, was for her little brother. She then insulted her brother to my face, saying, 'I just a dork, right? Isn't he?' and then stormed out of the reception. I guess she had been the center of attention, the oldest, brilliant child, while he had been just the goofy guy. Now, here we were. He had a successful career, a great wife, and was loved by everyone, while she had few friends and no job." "The groom and best man opened all the gift envelopes and loudly counted the money at one of the guest tables during the reception." "I used to work as a wedding DJ. One reception was unforgettable for all the wrong reasons. The families booked a resort for the reception, complete with hotel rooms. The bride's father used his 20-minute-long toast to recap the highlights of his business success and name-drop. Not to be outdone, the bride's mother danced on tables and lifted her dress so that everyone saw her thong. The groom flirted with my friend, who had come along to help me. He tried to get her to return to his room with him, and the best man, less than two hours after saying 'I do.' The bride walked up to the groom in the middle of the dance floor and loudly sent him to his room like he was a child. Zero class." "Last year, I went to my girlfriend's cousin's wedding. Her dad went up to give a speech to his newly-married daughter, and at the end of the speech, he yelled out, 'Trump 2024!'" "My aunt (dad's sister) took my dad's seat at my wedding ceremony. The pews faced inward toward the aisle, so her seat was at the very front, and my dad had to look past her to watch our ceremony. He had to walk around her to get to his seat, after walking me down the aisle, since she didn't scoot over, even though it's a given that he should get the front seat, he had even told her he was going to sit there before the ceremony started." "I hope everyone agrees that proposing at a wedding when you don't have the couple's permission before the wedding is rude. This happened at my cousin's wedding just a few weeks ago. Her colleague's boyfriend proposed to her whilst the best man was attempting to give his speech. Once the groom very politely asked them (the colleague and boyfriend) if they could 'please wait a moment,' the colleague suddenly became infuriated and shouted across the hall, 'Let someone else be happy, for goodness' sake!' It was truly mind-boggling to hear. Needless to say, the bride made sure they did not attend the reception." "The maid of honor stormed off from the head table during the toast when the bride announced she was pregnant." "I was in my brother-in-law's wedding. As we were taking pictures, I was asked to leave the area because the pictures were 'just for family.' My husband and I had already been married for over 20 years (and are still married). My MIL said it loud enough for guests to hear. I made a beeline for the bar!" "My cousin got married about two weeks before me. She brought the proof book from her wedding to my wedding. All the guests from my dad's side of the family spent the evening looking at her wedding pics and talking about her wedding. It felt like mine was being compared unfavorably. SMH." "The bride and groom had a completely different dinner from the guests. They ate shrimp and pasta. We were given the choice of chicken, which was undercooked, or prime rib, which was really just overcooked slices of roast beef." "For my wedding, we had only invited a few people. In the middle of our vows, someone I had not invited showed up, banging on the unlocked door until someone opened the door for her. She then threw this big attitude, face snarling, and crossed arms until we had finished our ceremony. When my husband, two groomsmen, two bridesmaids, and I got ready to leave for our after-party, we were told we had to take our wedding crasher as well (I was not too happy with this). Needless to say, we piled into our cars, but by the time we got to our party, my groomsmen said they would not ride in the car with her because she fondled them in the backseat. At the after-party, she tried to sit on the laps of both my groomsmen AND my husband. After getting rebuffed several times by her lewd remarks and tactics, she went out on the dance floor and danced with any willing person (I wouldn't call it dancing)!" "When they don't provide enough cake for everyone. The first wedding I attended, they had a tiny wedding cake that only the groom, the bride, and close family were given pieces of, while we got nothing. It doesn't have to be from the actual wedding cake, but at least give your guests something!" "I once went to a wedding where not all the wedding guests were invited to the reception. Those invited to the reception received an additional card with reception details in their wedding invitation. I was best friends with one of the bride's younger sisters, who had clued me in on this beforehand. My family didn't get the reception invite. The ceremony ended, and as people left the church, my friend asked if my family and I were coming to the reception. I said we weren't invited." "I was asked to bring a dish if I wanted to attend the reception. In other words, it was a potluck, but we weren't told that until two days before the wedding." "A friend of mine had a phone call from her mother, who was asking on behalf of the bride (friend's cousin) how much money she had put in the wishing well. So tacky." "At my sister's wedding, the maid of honor, who was told to be at the venue a couple of hours before the actual event started to help with setup, decided to show up as the processional was starting. We had even delayed the start time by 30 minutes in the hopes that she would show up, but she wasn't answering her phone, so we had no choice but to start without her. The venue was outdoors, so all the guests witnessed her running full-tilt across the field to get into her place in line." "I have several instances from just one wedding where the bride was a total piece of work. She told everyone a guest was pregnant when that guest had had difficulty conceiving for years. She admitted that she didn't talk to the groom's family at the reception. She stopped the bus before the wedding party pictures to check out the venue and take a billion photographs of the decor, but took hardly any wedding photos with her groom. She cussed at guests to get them on the dance floor, even though she was in the bar area most of the night herself. The cherry on top: When I said goodbye to her as she was leaving and said I'd see her at brunch the next morning, she said, 'Oh, you're coming?' I was the best man's wife, and we were invited. Needless to say, we didn't go." "My sister-in-law and her husband had a 'personal' photo shoot with our wedding photographer on our wedding day. She did ask if it would be OK to 'get a few photos.' I said yes, not knowing she wanted a full-on portrait session. I guess since her mother was paying, she thought that was OK." "My aunt got married about two years ago. She was with her boyfriend for years, and they seemed perfect for each other. They both lived out of state, but my aunt planned the wedding to be in her hometown, in the church where many of our relatives got married. The wedding itself was beautiful. Only ONE relative of the groom came. We figured that it was because it would have been an 'out-of-state' wedding for them, and they were busy or something. The bride and groom could not look any happier if they tried. It was so beautiful. Unfortunately, they divorced about a year later." "The bride's parents were ballroom dancers (and not very good). They ensured they were the only dancers on the floor for over half an hour. People were polite for the first song, but when they finally gave up, no one was watching." And: "At one wedding I was in, no one was told until the DAY OF that there would be no food served at the reception, only cake. Like, not even chocolates or mints on the table. The wedding cake was blue with penguins because the bride loved them. A friend of a friend had made the cake five days BEFORE the wedding. There was so much (dried out) fondant on it that it was nearly impossible to cut, and the cake was so stale it was impossible to eat. The bride literally threw a fit when she saw how many people were throwing away their slices of cake, and became even more livid when people started leaving to go get food, since there was no place at the reception site to get even a snack."
