8 Surprise TV Show Villain Reveals Everyone Hated

It says an awful lot about a character if some still rank them above the likes of Joffrey Baratheon and Ramsay Bolton as the most annoying and d*ckish being to ever wander across the turf of Westeros, but one-time sweetheart Olly certainly gives them a run for their money.

Early on, it felt as though the youngster was destined to be a trusted right-hand-man of sorts for the remainder of his time on Game of Thrones, being recruited as Jon Snow's steward after his village was raided by Wildlings. However, as the lines begin to blur during the Battle of Castle Black and the immediate aftermath of that skirmish, Olly's determination to avenge his parent's death led to a rather unwanted turn.

If picking off Snow's love Ygritte wasn't enough, Olly also went on to deal the fatal blow that cuts down the Lord Commander of The Night's Watch after Jon attempts to form an alliance with their one-time enemy to stave off the coming White Walker threat. Admittedly, the stabbing stunned audiences worldwide, but with Jon's logic more than making sense and the youngster seeming to understand his reasoning for a time, Olly's staggering turn felt like little more than a sucker-punch that next to nobody could fully justify.
