That doesn’t mean the characters are boring, though.

On the contrary,Sweet Magnoliashas managed to introduce myriad dynamic, fascinating characters year after year.

Taking all ofSweet Magnolias’charactersinto consideration,these 10 represent the very best overall.

Noreen has had major character development in the show, and she is now one ofSweet Magnolia’sbest characters.

Her friendship with Isaac has also made her a much better character.

While she isn’t the very best, she is on the list of top 10 characters.

He especially had a difficult time coming to terms with his mother’s relationship with his baseball coach.

Like Noreen, though,Ty has shown significant growth throughoutSweet Magnolia’sfour seasons.

Of Maddie’s three kids, Kyle has long been the most charismatic.

He is kind, thoughtful, and compassionate towards everyone he meets.

During a terrifying hurricane, Helen became trapped in her car, and her situation was very precarious.

However,of the three main best friends inSweet Magnolias, Dana Sue is arguably the weakest link.

There’s plenty to like about Dana Sue, from her sense of humor to her professional drive.

Dana Sue has a tendency to be unnecessarily harsh on others.

This will no doubt become even more important following Bill’s death in season 4.

Even so, there’s one character who beats out even Maddie in terms ofSweet Magnolias’best character.
