In "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes," he's impressed by Don's skills, echoing what fans would feel for the next eight years. Dorothy Campbell: On one hand, Pete's mother is a bit of a drama queen who, while well-intentioned, is never a stellar mother. On the other hand, she is the only Mad Men character to be murdered at sea. So you have to feel bad for her. Ed Baxter: Ken's father-in-law. Most notable for being a generally good guy, unlike most of the father-in-law characters.
In one of his later appearances, season 7's "Severance," he makes a Pop-Tart and is very proud of himself. We are all Ed Baxter in the morning. Loretta: The Drapers' most recent maid and Carla's spiritual successor. She seems nice; we wish we had more time with her. Karen Ericson: Peggy's onetime roommate who proves a bit too fun for her. Looking at the ultra-cool Peggy of today, it's hard to remember how this party-loving city girl intimidated her so.
Jennifer Crane: Harry's wife, who probably deserves a medal for putting up with his shit. She seemed nice enough, but then she made Dawn punch her time card for her one time. It nearly got Dawn fired in the process. Bud Campbell: Pete's brother was a sweet guy, but had a bit of a shady past. He seemed much like a guy who would be named Bud.
Unlike Alex, Cynthia does not transform into a pool of liquid — at least, not as far as we saw. Morris Ginsberg: Morris rescued his son Michael from a concentration camp and took him to America.
Overall a good guy. Phoebe: The nurse who lives a few doors down from Don in season 4. She, like Diana, is a mysterious woman in uniform who intrigues Don, but that was about it for Phoebe. Jeannie Vogel: Pete's mother-in-law. Unremarkable, much like most of the people in this part of the list. Gene Draper: There's a more irritating Draper kid lower on this list, but Gene's definitely the most unnecessary.
He's far more important to the plot before he's born. As Sally and Don argue, it's pretty creepy Betty named him after her just-deceased father, then converted her father's room into his nursery. Margie Koch: The first non-Peggy female copywriter we see. She gets the edge on the other nameless, dull copywriters for that very reason.
Dale: Dale's most redeeming attribute as a copywriter for Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce is his sharp choice of eyewear. It just so happens the cameras weren't there to capture it.
Nan Chaough: Looks flawless but otherwise doesn't do much. Sorry your husband cheats on you with Peggy, Nan. Julio: The odd but cute kid who sits on Peggy's couch and watches TV with her. Kind of a less gross take on Glen Bishop. It's not clear why — because he wasn't Don? Because Peggy didn't get to be creative director?
Bobby Draper: Easily the most annoying Draper child, and also the only one to be played by four different actors over the show's run. Thanks to this, he looks almost the exact same age as he did seasons ago.
He's supposed to be 13 by the show's end, but tell us, does this child look 13? Also, just to emphasize, he's pretty annoying. Is it harsh to call a child annoying? Because he is.
Arnold Rosen: Arnie Rosen isn't a bad character so much as a frustrating one. He basically exists only to make Don feel bad about his affair with Sylvia. He also gets mad when he can't perform a surgery and quits his job. You could have been so much more, Arnie. Katherine Olson: Judgmental mother of Peggy who doesn't get her daughter's big city life. She also didn't appreciate when Peggy bought her a TV.
Very rude, Katherine. Olive Healy: Peggy's onetime secretary takes one look at her weed-smoking boss and puts on her snob pants. Just chill, Olive. Peggy's "in a very good place right now. Harry Crane: Harry is kind of a sad case; at some point during Mad Men 's run, he'd be a top character, easy. The writing of Harry got incredibly lazy in the show's last few seasons, and the once-lovable, if slightly smarmy, character got turned into an evil cog in the machine.
Rich Sommer deserves better. Imagine spending a decade doing anything. Wouldn't you just give up? Anita Olson: Judgmental sister of Peggy who doesn't get her sister's big city life. No one wants your opinions, Anita. Conrad Hilton: Jerk hotel magnate based on real-life hotel magnate who may or may not have been a jerk. Great-grandfather of Paris Hilton. Has a weird daddy issues thing going on with Don. Duck Phillips: Any time you feel a thread of sympathy for Herman "Duck" Phillips, the alcoholic most notable for a failed takeover of Sterling Cooper and trying to shit on Don's chair, remember Chauncey:.
Without Hamlin, Cutler was just a jerk who tried to use Bert Cooper's death as a chance to take over the company. He mysteriously disappeared in the second half of season 7, and good riddance. Richard: Joan's new boyfriend doesn't really get her, does he? Offering to take her fabulous places or even hire "a guy" to take care of her problems is exactly what she's resisted her entire life. Sarah Beth Carson: Sarah Beth rides horses with Betty in season 2, then turns into a mess when she has an affair with Arthur Case, blaming Betty for encouraging her.
She's kind of allergic to accountability. Margaret Sterling: Ugh, what a brat. She has the misfortune of scheduling her wedding on Nov. Margaret also discards all earthly possessions and connections with her parents to become a hippie. She's kind of a jerk. Abigail Whitman: Routinely calls her stepson, young Dick Whitman, a "whore child.
Rebecca Pryce: Lane's wife is kind of a pill about his general happiness in the States, consistently complaining about wanting to go home to London.
Lee Garner Jr. He also fires Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce, putting them in financial ruin. In his defense, he inspires a Joan-led Christmas party conga line. Everyone loves a good conga line. Glen Bishop: We should never stop talking about how bizarre it was that Matthew Weiner cast his son as the kid with a gross crush on Betty Draper.
Long after we figure out what will happen to Don, this mystery will live on. Burt Peterson: Sterling Cooper's head of accounts got fired twice on the series and did little else. It was satisfying both times. Joey Baird: As the last few names on this list will show you, being a dick to Joan Holloway is a quick way to become loathed. Joey tells Joan she walks around the office waiting to be sexually assaulted, which was worthy not just of Peggy firing him, but of getting his ass physically kicked out the door.
Brooks Hargrove: Brooks is Margaret Sterling's husband, and he's pretty useless! Even Margaret's parents say he's useless in "The Monolith. John Powell: Englishman St. John is generally insufferable, from the pronunciation of his name Sinjin? So at least he indirectly did some good? Abe Drexler: Peggy's longest-lasting relationship was with an arrogant, condescending putz. No wonder she stabbed him. William Hofstadt: Remember how Betty's brother spends the last days of his father's life jockeying for ownership of their family home?
Not a good look, Billy. Mark Kearney: Peggy's season-4 boyfriend pressures her into having sex despite her feeling uncomfortable. He also breaks up with her when she couldn't make dinner because she was working. Honestly, she should've stabbed this one too. Suzanne Farrell: Everything about Sally's teacher Suzanne bugs.
From her breathy paeans to Don, to trying to read him despite not knowing him at all, she comes off as brazenly out of her element. You almost feel bad when she's left waiting for Don as he talks with Betty in "The Gypsy and the Hobo," but whatever. She'll be fine. John Hooker: Aside from his unfortunate surname, Hooker is best remembered from his time as Lane Pryce's assistant in season 3 as irritating and insecure. He, like Joey, was mean to Joan. Howard Dawes: Howard kicks off our "Absolute Monsters" section of the list by signing his wife Beth up for electroshock therapy because she seemed depressed.
That's right: After cheating on Beth in the city, he has her mind-wiped instead of actually helping her during a tough time. Ban Howard. Arnold Wayne: It's been a while since we've seen Dr. Wayne, so a reminder: As Betty's psychiatrist, he tells Don everything she says in their sessions during season 1. Betty's had a rough time in life, and guys like this are the reason why.
Archie Whitman: If Don had been raised in a stable situation, would he be the disaster he is today? Archie Whitman, father of young Dick Whitman, damns him to a life of feeling illegitimate from Dick's conception. Instead of parenting, he scarred Dick in multiple ways. Archie's wrongdoings are the original sins of Don Draper.
Ferg Donnelly: Joan, feeling threatened by her co-worker, goes to his supervisor to seek relief. Ferg's response is to imply that Joan needs to have sex with him to work together well. Megan is concerned that her employers may be diminishing her TV role. At the office, the firm has expanded to include the floor above but Don is not too happy to find that his office furniture has been rearranged.
Roger Sterling learns that his mother has died. Betty takes a motherly interest in Sally's friend Sandy who lives next door and whose mother died recently. Sandy has an adventurous streak that Betty perhaps wishes she had at her age. At her new employer, Peggy Olson faces something of a crisis when recent news may force her to redo an entire campaign.
