played by this handsome bunch of actors/ actresses would you still have sided with the shenanigans they keep on pulling?
I am curious if there a TV show where an evil character is played by an average looking actor/ actress and still liked by general population?

While I think Ian and Paul are hot, they didn't hook me which is one of the reasons I never got into Stelena or Delena (although I prefer Stelena). Charles is probably the hottest IMHO, but as Marcel, he does nothing for me. Even though Marcel has charisma, his charisma always seems to have an angle. Joseph and Elijah are gorgeous and their characters have charisma that just drew me in from the moment they appeared on screen. And, to be perfectly honest, when Elijah first arrived on scene, I didn't think he was hot at all; his hair was just awful and ruined his entire look. Still loved him though from the moment he appeared.
Charisma plays a large factor. And disclaimer before I go any further: my list below is based on what I think isn't hot. I recognize that it's opinion only and that the level of hotness is subjective.
Tony Soprano (The Sopranos), played by the late great James Gandolfini wasn't hot - he was balding and overweight. Yet because of his charisma and power, women flocked to him.
Same with Frank Underwood (House of Cards). Middle-aged, not hot, but his charisma and power - women (and men) flock to him.
Ben (Lost) is some small, middle-aged evil mastermind, but his charisma drew you in and you started to see his side of things.
Rumple (Once Upon a Time), has some sort of skin condition but Belle still loves him (I'm only up to S4!!) and his charm draws viewers in.
Queen Catherine (Reign) is middle-aged, still beautiful IMO, but not generally considered hot, but hell, I'm always rooting for her to win.
Shades (Luke Cage) isn't what I would call classically hot, but he drew me in and I was screaming for him to survive at a certain point.
Fisk (Daredevil) is bald and overweight, but DAMN I want him and Vanessa to have their HEA!!
That's all I can think of right now.

Personality and charisma > hotness any day.

No, that's the reason I don't watch the vampires on The Strain, Van Helsing or Preacher. I need the eye candy of Buffy, Cordelia, Darla, Katherine, Rebekah, Hayley...

For me, it's mostly about the personality. Ian Somerhalder is incredibly hot, but I would be incredibly grossed out if Damon Salvatore ever touched just because his personality is so skeevy to me. Stefan, Klaus and Elijah all have these personalities that I find myself rooting for even when they're behavior is annoying me. And I can sympathize with them all (though I'll admit, my patience for Elijah is growing thinner). Looks can only do so much if the guy doesn't have something with more substance. I don't think I have ever been gaga over a guy just because he was hot.

 Same here. Damon's personality is too "much." It's too charming for me. I love charming guys, but Damon's charm comes off as skeevy to me sometimes. Same here. I've dated plenty of not-hot guys because they had great personalities.
