This Character Is Easily Modern Family's Dolores Umbridge
Some characters are just universally hated, and this one from Modern Family is no exception.
Modern Family is a perfect comfort show that doesn't make you sit nervously in your chair and bite your nails because of some cliffhanger. Every character has their beautiful sides and flaws, and you can just sit back and enjoy the show...until Pam Tucker shows up.
Cameron's aggressive older sister appears in season 5, seeming supportive and nice at first, but later revealing her mean and even violent side. According to fans, it's as much about her being a bad person as it is about the writers not doing their job to make her at least a little more appealing.
"She was the absolute worst. At least other characters had SOME redeeming qualities but Pam is just a straight up selfish b**ch all the time who constantly uses Mitch and Cam," Redditor lalalindz22 said.
Fans call her "the worst recurring character on any show" they have ever watched, and it seems like every time Pam appears on screen, people just roll their eyes. Despite the hatred from the fans, the writers would always throw Pam in for some reason and "overuse" the character.
All Pam does on the show is manipulate Mitchell and Cam, using all forms of coercion to get people to do what she wants, from confrontation to blackmail. Many fans wonder if the writers actually expected people to like her when she is basically nothing but a bully.
Pam, portrayed by Dana Powell, is a recurring character on Modern Family, introduced in season 5, then appearing in all but the final season after a brief hiatus in season 6.
