Breaking Bad: Each Main Character Ranked From Worst To Best

11. Lydia Rodarte-Quayle

Taking the bottom spot by a long, long way, Lydia was the devious head of Madrigal Electromotive and an ally of Gustavo Fring who supplied the drug lord with meth. Following the death of Gus, she went out of her way to stop the feds from finding out her ties to the drug trade, but her ploy to have former employee Mike Ehrmantraut killed quickly backfired and she found herself roped back into the life of crime once more.

A nervous and opportunistic woman who moved from team to team in order to better her chances her survival, Lydia made a solid obstacle to the latter part of Walter White's story, but as a character was endlessly annoying. Her worry and paranoia made her more of a nuisance than an actual threat, and her ruthless but uptight nature often made her tough to take seriously or be threatened by.

Laura Fraser's performance was strong, but as far as Breaking Bad characters go, she's easily at the bottom of the pile.
