"She started as a self-absorbed insecure teenager that was jealous of Elena. As the series went on, she became such a strong, kind, and intelligent person that never hesitated to help her friends. Caroline was also funny as hell and brought joy to the series."

"I loathed him with a fiery passion to the point where I would get angry at my TV whenever he'd appear in an episode. Then, when Carl died and we saw how it affected him, I really started to notice Negan's sympathetic side come out and now I can’t help but root for him."

"When we were first introduced to her character, she was nothing but a spoiled kid who made horrible choices. But by the end of the series, she matured into a cunning, dedicated leader who totally got the last laugh, becoming Queen of the North!"

"In his first episode on Arrow and at the beginning of Season 1 of The Flash, he just seemed like an asshole to me, especially when he would talk about how hot various girls were. This stopped just a few episodes into the first season. I soon adored how selfless, loyal, funny, and supportive he was. Now he’s my favorite character."

"I'm a Rachel stan, so at first Quinn just seemed like a snarky, stereotypical white popular cheerleader, and I could not stand her. After I learned about Quinn's parents and how she was expected to present herself, I came to love her. She is now one of my favorite characters."

"At first, he seemed rude and only interested in himself, so I had no idea why he was even made the main character. As the show progressed, he really grew on me and became a full-on leader. Although he remained selfish throughout the show, I eventually learned that that was only a minor flaw in his personality."

"At first, I didn’t like Rachel at all! I thought she was super spoiled and she'd always get mad if things didn’t go her way. Now, I love her! Looking back, her being a spoiled brat in the beginning was actually necessary for her character development."

"When he first joined the squad, he was annoyingly overeager despite not knowing the ropes yet. He was also really blunt about things. Once he settled in and got his bearings, he became a good addition to the team. You could see how good he was at his job and how much he empathized with the victims."

"His character was over-the-top at first, but eventually he pretty much became my favorite. How is a flamboyant, drug-dealing chef and sex worker who speaks to the dead the most relatable character? People who watched the series can easily answer that."

—matthewschonmorgan

"I could not stand her until the fourth season, because I thought she was so annoying and egocentric. I later realized she just genuinely wanted to help her friends and the people she cared about most."

—alisiakrieg

"He’s one of my favorite characters now, but at first I saw him as a weird, boundary-stepping kiss-ass. As the show went on, I saw how truly kind and sweet he was. My turning point for him was the injury episode. That's when I learned he valued his friends over his safety. He’s over-the-top, but it’s done out of love."

—angelluv0026

"I started off thinking she was a terrible mother, not relatable, and just a generally difficult person. As I started to get to know her character more, I slowly began to like her. But then she got annoying again."

—mirandat439cd0bf9

"I thought he was just a stereotypical sitcom dad, aka a useless moron. I later started to see him as a sweet, caring, and loving father and husband. Plus, he’s the only character on the show who consistently stands up to Rick, which is pretty courageous on its own."

—somethingcleverhere

"I found her slightly overbearing at the beginning, but she’s got a heart of gold and is the most caring person in the world. Leslie just takes a bit of time to warm up to...and that's exactly what happened with me."

—loish491e7c212

"At first he really creeped me out. It kind of concerns me to say, but by the second season I was definitely on his side. Maybe it was because Love Quinn was also crazy AF, but I still not 100% sure why I was siding with him. I was surprised, but I felt like learning about his past changed my perception of him."

—annalisejulia

"God, I hated her in Season 1, but as I continued to watch the series, she became more understanding. I began to like her more and more, especially when she had her interactions with Hannibal."

—mashkapatoka

"I literally stopped watching the show because of him. When I decided to give the series another shot, he became my favorite character. WE LOVE CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT!"

"In the first couple of episodes, Peggy was whiny and unsure of herself, but she transformed into one of the best employees at Sterling Cooper. She's a great example of an independent woman in the '60s."

—fromanotherplanet

"At first, I didn’t like how he fit into the group's dynamic, but then when they changed his storyline and moved him to Texas, I realized just how much I missed his character. Plus, as he and Mindy’s friendship grew, so did my love for him."

—mkaay_

"She somehow went from my least favorite in the beginning to most favorite at the end of the series. She was just always in everyone's business, but now I'm so glad to see her in the reboot."

—sarahwolfe1

"He was so egotistical in the beginning and although he displayed a lot of toxic tendencies throughout the show, he definitely became a better person. He even began to help his friends and family a little more."

—frysb4guys2006

"I didn't know if I should root for her at first, because she acts obsessive and, well, crazy. She'll make you angry one moment, then have you falling in love with her the next. Ultimately, you can't help but cheer her on. She’s the perfect main character."

—aarons4baaca7a3

"In the first season, he was sleazy, selfish and rude. It wasn't until Season 5 that he finally started to mature. He was one of my favorite characters by the end of the show."

—crh14

"She was a total bully for the first few seasons, but then she underwent a major personality transformation during her time on the spinoff, Angel. She became a selfless hero who adored her friends more than anything."

—anyarosem16

"I hated him and I guess that was the point. He was the guy who wanted to kill Clay to shut him up. He was the guy that let this best friend rape his girlfriend. He was the guy who protected the rapist and himself for so long. But during the following seasons, we saw him for the lovable, complex character that he truly is."

—zarinat3

"She seemed like a ditzy girl with an obsessive crush, but after Molly got over her feelings, you could see she was an extremely smart person and a great friend."

—ThatOneSheerio

"Initially they both came across as really flat and vain characters, but slowly they grew into three-dimensional, interesting people. Admittedly, they were never my favorite characters on the show (that honor goes to the massively under-appreciated Winston), but they were far more likable by the end."
