And finally, we have Jack Bauer's lovely young daughter Kim, who quickly ends up a magnet for creeps, terrorists and general trouble throughout her time on the show.

She spent most of the first season being a hostage, before season two saw her beleaguered by a murderous father she babysat for, a cougar (seriously), and a lonely survivalist (played by Johnny Drama himself, Kevin Dillon).

That's not all. She became an hilariously implausible CTU employee by season three (complete with a terrible bob haircut), cementing how utterly unnecessary she was as a character beyond the first season.

But because she's attractive and an easy emotional link for both Bauer and the audience, they kept throwing her back in regardless. Just... terrible.
