What characters do you have a soft spot for? Or despite all the bad things they do, you still love them anyway

I would definitely say:

Jason Morgan...always had a soft spot for Jason.

Because we all saw who he was pre accident as Jason Quartermaine...a kid who aspired to be a doctor and follow in his late father Alan's footsteps.

Then he was in an accident that left him with irreversible brain damage with his entire life and way of thinking permanently altered.

Plus I love Jason as Stone Cold...in his element as a mob enforcer

And I just love mobsters in general...love the whole way of life when it comes to the mob.
