Young And The Restless Criminals Ranked

2

11. Chloe Mitchell

Perhaps a little bad in Kevin is what makes him and Chloe click so well. Chloe has also walked the fine line of what many may consider “good” and “evil” over the years, convincing Cane that he was the father of her baby, trying to trap Billy and other manipulative schemes. She’d clean her act up; however, after Delia passed away she dealt with some mental health issues that had her teetering on the darker side of things.

10. Hilary Curtis

While Hilary did pass on as a heroine, she lived some of her life in Genoa City as a criminal. Manipulating the Winters family, trying to turn the city against Neil, causing chaos in Cane and Lily’s marriage, Hilary started as a very bitter woman. Alas, love, patience, and understanding would bring her around in the end.

9. Michael Baldwin

Anyone new to the Y&R may be shaking their heads when it comes to Michael Baldwin being on a list for criminals, but the truth is when he first entered Genoa City, he was a real slime-ball. Some of his bad deeds in the early years included sexual harassment, kidnapping, attempted rape and murder. Michael also worked very hard to ruin the life and relationships of Christine Blair. Thankfully, he’s been able to evolve into a good guy and one of Genoa City’s finest citizens, but there was a time where this simply was not the case.

8. Phyllis Summers

Do you love Phyllis… or do you love to hate her? She’s a dynamic and complex character that truly extends the boundaries of “heroine” and “criminal.” Some fans see Phyllis’ actions as just, and others view her as a schemer. She was a lot worse in her younger years; however, she still comes up with a plot or two these days that has many fans raising their eyebrows.

7. Victor Newman

Victor is certainly a character Y&R fans love to hate, yet they respect him too, all in the same breath! Sure, he’s done some pretty terrible things over the years, but understanding where he’s come from and his past has made him multi-faceted. He’s got a controlling streak that’s for sure, but his tenderness towards his grandchildren and his overall love for his family has him hitting the mid-point of this wrongdoers list. Victor can be a bad guy, but he’s done some good over the years, too.

6. Deacon Sharpe

Deacon Sharpe isn’t a scoundrel who has solely wreaked havoc in Genoa City, as Bold and the Beautiful (B&B) fans have also witnessed some of his terrible deeds! From stealing and embezzlement to blackmailing, kidnapping, drugging people, and more. Deacon Sharpe is truly an awful man who seems to have no conscience.

5. Daisy Carter

How could the offspring of terrible Tom Fisher and town-crazy Sheila Carter not land on this list? The apple doesn’t fall far from either parental tree when it comes to this troublemaker. She’s conducted arson, kidnapped and axed people. She also held Lauren Fenmore and Jana Fisher hostage, and drugged and assaulted Daniel, and then bore his child. The most outrageous part is that she’s probably made her parents very proud.

4. Isabella Brana

Wreaking havoc in the early 2000s, Isabella did all she could to ruin the magic between Christine and Paul. She not only managed to get him to marry her, but she also had his child! She was handier than that as time wore on, and Isabella even tried to convince the world she had passed on and Blair was behind it all! Thankfully, Paul was able to figure it all out, and save Christine’s life in the process, too.

3. Ian Ward

Cult leader, baby stealer, kidnapper, hostage-taker, and blackmailer — these are just some of the bad things Y&R criminal Ian Ward has done over the years. To boot, he raised Mariah Copeland as his daughter and then ended up giving her drugs to wed her against her will, which is terrible in itself (and gross, too). Is there anything this man won’t do?

2. Tom Fisher

Terrible Tom, as he is dubbed by most in Genoa City, was an outright slime-ball. He abused and messed with his son Kevin’s mind, almost ruined the poor youngster completely by locking him up when he was just a little boy and causing him severe mental health issues. Fisher was a con man, who conducted many a crime in his day, but you could also add kidnapping and blackmailing to that list, too.

1. Sheila Carter

Sick and twisted, Sheila Carter has tortured people in both Genoa City and the B&B over the years; however, her main target has always been Lauren Fenmore and anyone close to her. From drugging people to stealing babies, kidnapping, blackmailing, attempted murder, manipulating people, attacking individuals, and holding others at gunpoint, Sheila is a bona fide soap opera criminal who will do anything to get what she wants and always seems to have revenge on her mind.
