10+ TV Moments That Were Completely Out Of Character

This was one of the greatest character betrayals in recent memory. Fiona was always the matriarch of the family and she hated hard drugs!

There's literally no way she'd ever be so careless.

This was just uncomfortable to watch.

Granted, that's what Shameless was always striving to do. But the way they tackled Deb's pregnancy was just wrong.

Are you freaking kidding me with this one? After Blaine made such a huge stink about how "Texting is cheating"?

This is just one of the many examples of lazy and uninspired writing that plagued the cast of Glee.

Clearly Glee has no respect for their audience's intelligence if they actually expected people to accept Rachel would do this.

Both Dexter and his father knew that if Deb ever found out the truth, her moral compass would compel her to turn in her brother.

Abandoning this truth and embarking on a love affair between siblings? That was a mistake.

Regardless of what Dexter was going through, the one constant in his life was always his son, Harrison.

There is no way he would ever have left him alone.

Come on, Kimmy.

Your best friend's mother was killed by a drunk driver. This one was a huge reach and just left us with a bad taste in our mouth.

At least they tried to rationalize Phoebe's meat cravings, although half-heartedly: She was pregnant at the time and the baby was craving meat.

I'm not trying to minimalize pregnancy cravings, but that was an integral part of Phoebe's character they just threw away.

Up until this point, the Duffer Brothers had made it crystal clear that Eleven had some serious trust issues.

How does it make any sense then that she would stumble upon a gang of runaways and join their cause?

I'm sorry but no, Ron and Leslie would never stop talking.

Furthermore, to even suggest that Leslie would miss breakfast at JJ's is laughable. She never forgets anything.

I understand that both Amy and Sheldon needed to become more well-rounded characters and that sex was an easy avenue of exploration.

She did, however, go from 0-60 quicker than a Ferrari.

Once again, this is more of an indictment of the show not doing a good enough job with sticking to the source material.

Having Dany murder an entire city was off-putting, to say the least.

Andy spends two full seasons pining over Erin and you're telling me that he would just leave her standing on a dock as he sailed off into the sunset?

No way. I'm not buying it.

Topanga sacrifices her entire future so that she can stay and babysit her boyfriend? It almost cheapens their love, making it appear riddled with insecurity.

Also, why couldn't Cory have followed her? It's not like he had any grand aspirations?!

Do you know how sometimes a show can get so wrapped up in itself that it doesn't know up from down or right from left?

That's Gossip Girl for you. This "reveal" made absolutely ZERO sense.

This provided a lot of shock value but very little substance.

Fans couldn't wrap their heads around how two people who hated each other so deeply could ever be in love.

Throughout the entire series of Modern Family, no character underwent such a serious transformation as Haley.

Having her and Dylan end up together completely dissolves all of her growth and reduces her to exactly what she was in the pilot episode.

Are you freaking kidding me? An Ivy League college was Rory's dream!

One little snot-nosed punk tells her she isn't cut out for the Ivy League and Rory just abandons everything she's worked for?

What happened to the supportive mother who was always there through thick and thin?

This seems like such a petty and uncharacteristically cruel move on Lorelai's part.

So first of all, this just shouldn't have happened in the first place.

But then to go and make it such a long and drawn-out process of Toby "coming clean" was borderline insulting.

Monica Geller's OCD was one of the longest and best running gags of the entire series.

There's no way she would have been OK with Joey showing up dressed as a WWI soldier to officiate her wedding.

Not only is Barney Stinson the greatest womanizer in the history of television, but he's also the author of The Bro Code!

His love for Ted would have never allowed him to marry, much less date, his best friend's ex.

It's not necessarily the fact that Jackson questions his faith, it's just that the event was rather trivial by comparison.

I mean, a freaking helicopter crashed in the hospital, Jackson. Where was your doubt then?

Jan did flip a switch as far as her personality was concerned. She went from being a hard-nosed, by-the-book executive, to a crazy borderline psychotic candle maker.

I guess that's a testament to the dangers of being in a relationship with Michael Scott?

Yes, Benson has her own dark history and a ton of unresolved issues.

Still, to suggest that she'd go so far as to steal a victim's underwear who had flat-out refused police help was just too much.

Not no way and not no how would Sam Winchester ever not look for his big brother, Dean.

Saving people and hunting things is what they do! Also...they're BROTHERS.

Really? The guy who has the most outdated, 1950s idea of what a marriage entails just helps Victoria completely throw away her vows and commitment?

I don't think so. Ted's not that selfish.

Once again, you can really tell when a show is out of ideas, relying on cheap gimmicks and shock tactics at the expense of character development.

When Scotty did this I was flabbergasted.

Mike is a man of principles. He doesn't deal in half-measures and he aways follows things through to the end.

Watching him abandon his granddaughter shattered everything we thought we knew about him.

Yes, I'll admit it: JD never really had much of a choice in the matter. What Jordan wants, Jordan tends to get.

Still, at this point in the series, JD was still a resident with rose-colored glasses. He would never have slept with a patient who was under his care.

We are sure there are plenty. Or is there one from this list that you also can't stand? Or maybe even disagree with?
