Walt Jr. 

Walter White's son Walt Jr. was reportedly not hated for what he does throughout the runtime of the show, but only because his character did not contribute enough to any major storyline of Breaking Bad. The character was deemed one dimensional by many fans and some also felt that the character is exasperating. Rumours about Walt Jr. taking over the empire created by Walter White in a spin-off series were also reportedly put to rest by the makers of the show as they did not wish to explore the storyline any further than they did in the five seasons.
