CHUCK BASS – GOSSIP GIRL

  • Bad boy qualities

If you have not heard about Charles Bartholomew “Chuck” Bass you do not know what you are missing. Chuck is a metro sexually duchbag, rich spoiled brat, manipulative liar , a conceited womanizer and an asshole. But why hate him? He is someone that will stop at no lengths to get what he wants.

  • Family / mental issues

I swear “Bad Boys” always have daddy issues. Chuck’s dad for some reason hated him because he blames him for killing his wife, Chuck’s mom. Sad, Right?  Even a stranger such as Dan Humphrey got to spend quality time with Chuck’s dad.

  • Romance

A womanizer such as Chuck has plenty of women, however His Relationship with Blair Waldorf will forever go down in the books as one of the greatest unforgettable romances on TV.

  • Friendships

Nate Archibald is Chuck’s best friend. And even though he did that little mistake in falling in love with his girlfriend, they moved on past that.

  • Soft spot

Even though Chuck goes on and on about how he does everything on his on. He really does care about his family. The family he does have. Lily, his step mother cared for Chuck and you gradually notice Chuck open up to her. But the real Soft Spot – Blair Waldorf.

 

LOGAN ECHOLIS -VERONICA MARS

  • Bad boy qualities

SARCASTIC!! Logan is a rich, spoiled , brat (typical) that believes everything should be his way. Unlike Chuck, Working hard isn’t in his vocabulary. He is annoying, and really should be put in his place.

  • Family / mental issues

This is pretty sad. Logan’s father seriously has anger issues and use to torment him as a child. But that’s not it, his father was having an affair with his girlfriend and then murdered her. Logan’s mother also committed suicide. So his family is really crazyy.

  • Romance

After being with his long time girlfriend. He started to date Veronica, which was really difficult since she was his best friend’s ex-girlfriend.

  • Friendships

Him and his best friend Duncan went through a many traumatic events, and they both made sure to help each other through them all.

  • Soft spot

Honestly , still searching for it. Because his soft spot shows when he needs something. So don’t really know if its real or not.

 

DAMON SALVATORE – THE VAMPIRE DIAIRES

  • Bad boy qualities

As a hundred year old vampire, you would think he might grow up sometime, however all Damon does is kill, kill, and kill some more. Sometimes for fun, for food, or just cause he can. He is ruthless, conceited with a IDGAF attitude.

  • Family / mental issues

His mother ran away from his family, and then later realize she became a vampire. Also, his father was %100 crazy.

  • Romance

Love isn’t in his world and women are mainly just a fun time and a good meal. However, with Elena everything changed, and even though it took time and he got there.

  • Friendships

I would say his best friend is his brother Stefan, but then Alaric came in the picture. The bromance between Damon and Alaric is the cutest because they are totally opposites. One being a vampire and one being a hunter.

  • Soft spot

His love for his Elena is so strong he’ll do (kill) anything that gets in his way. Then his love for his Stefan and even Bonnie is undeniable.

 

ALEX KAREV- GREYS ANATOMY

  • Bad boy qualities

I thought being a bad boy surgeon might be hard, however Alex takes that challenge. He is arrogant and only thinks about himself. He will step on anyone toes to get what he wants. Confidence and independence isn’t bad, however, it is when you have to work with people to save lives. Alex doesn’t understand that.

  • Family

Karev had to really work hard to get to where he is now. His father walked out on his family and his mother had some mental issues. Karev being the oldest had to care for his family.

  • Romance

The time he gave a nurse an STD. Oh then the patient he started to date, who really wasn’t straight in the head. The list goes on with WTF romances, he even got married to a cancer resident that later ran away.

  • Friendships

Its hard trying to see if co-workers are also friends. But in this show working so closely together everyone ultimately becomes your true friend. Karev is mean but his friendship with Cristina and Meredith is honest.

  • Soft spot

Karev and Meredith have spend over 10 years working together at the hospital, so of course  if she needs him, he’ll be right there to help her out with anything. This soft spot is so unique because its between two platonic friends that really love each other.

 

ERIC NORTHMAN – TRUE BLOOD

  • Bad boy qualities

Eric Northman is ruthless and does not care much for human life. He is  violent, arrogant, mischievous and consciously manipulative. You thought Damon was vicious vampire, Eric is 10x worse.

  • Family

No Family. Just Pam

  • Romance

His growing feelings for Sookie are showcased  when he daydreams about Sookie. And gradually grows, even though they don’t end up together. It was one of his only serious relationship.

  • Friendships

His only friend is his progeny, Pam Ravenscroft because he knows for sure she won’t betray him.

  • Soft spot

The first time ever I seen Eric cry was for his maker Godric, who committed suicide by exposing himself to sunlight. Then he cries again when he tells his progeny Pam Ravenscroft that he was going to release her. It was so sad because she was his partner in crime.
