TV's Worst Cast Additions: Billie

[JamesG]

For the record, this recognition comes through no fault of then-19-year-old Kaley Cuoco, who joined the WB drama’s final season amid budget cuts, creative roadblocks and the forced departures of several beloved series regulars.

Rather than being seamlessly integrated into the show as a supporting character, Cuoco’s whiney witch Billie was thrust into the spotlight, eventually (and begrudgingly) pulling focus from the core three.

But hey, don’t take our word for it. In one episode, Billie actually apologizes to the sisters, telling them, “I know I can be a huge pain in the ass sometimes.”
