Default 11 TV characters you could remove without anyone noticing

Posting this because I think it'll be controversial on here and I can see some discussion coming from it!

3. Phoebe/Joey from Friends

Okay, this is going to be a controversial one, we know. And it's not because we hate either actor's performance. Lisa Kudrow and Matt LeBlanc were great on the show. But you don't need both of them.

Phoebe and Joey are both naive, secondary characters who were used to either advance the plot (without really giving them major arcs of their own – neither of them develop much over the course of the show), or to get some sort of extreme reaction from their main pals when they say something ridiculous.

If Phoebe didn't exist, Joey could step in. If Joey didn't exist, Phoebe could take his place in the narrative. Seriously, name one significant thing Joey did that didn't involve kissing Rachel (which felt super-weird) or anything Phoebe did except have babies that were instantly taken away from her. We'll wait.

4. Dale - The Walking Dead

Poor old Dale. Established as a significant character, bogged down by season 2 scripts that basically had him delivering the same speech over and over again, then chomped by a zombie Carl couldn't be bothered to kill: his was an ignominious arc.

According to reports, Dale actor Jeffrey DeMunn became a bit, um, difficult on set after his pal (and Walking Dead creator) Frank Darabont was fired from the show, which could explain why his character – who has a far longer run in the comic – was removed early.

But, as literally no-one ever mentions him anymore, he could have been edited out of those early seasons – especially season 2 – without losing anything important. Except maybe his RV.

Like we said, poor old Dale.
There's more in the article I just think these two will be the most controversial!
