From Pam Tucker on The Cosby Show to Billie Jenkins hijacking Charmed, some characters didn’t just join your favorite shows—they hijacked them like unwanted houseguests who brought their own spin-off energy. This is Part 2 of our countdown of the characters who ruined their shows (https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/TheScrappy/LiveActionTV).

We’re talking Randy from That ’70s Show, Nellie from The Office, Stephanie from All in the Family, and yes, the infamous Tori episodes of Saved by the Bell. Some were last-ditch efforts to keep ratings alive. Others were "bold" network decisions that made fans scream into their dial-up modems.
