July is over and now it’s time to usher in August. But, we can’t do that without first looking back at all the new and old faces we met along the way! July was a great month for television characters, as we saw the return of a few huge shows, including the final season of Orange Is the New Black and a brand new season of Veronica Mars (we missed you!). The list is also full of some nostalgic favorites because bingeing Friends on hot summer days in the comforts of some strong air conditioning is never going out of style.
It also looks like just about everyone on the planet watched Stranger Things this past month, because it’s clear from the list of July’s top characters that everyone laughed – and cried — along with the kids and adults in Hawkins, Indiana
Maybe your favorites made the list, or maybe it’s time to find some new ones with a brand new show to add to your Watch List. There are 31 days in July, and we’ve got 31 of your favorite characters right here.
