3 GTA 5 characters that we don't want to see in GTA 6
GTA 5 gave us some
legendary
characters. But not every face from Los Santos needs a VIP pass to Vice City. With GTA 6 dropping a new duo, fresh setting, and updated vibes, some characters are better left in the past.
Some stories are better left finished, and some personalities? Yeah, we've had enough. Here are three characters that should stay in the past, for everyone's sake.
Devin Weston was a BAD villain I Grand Theft Auto 5
1. Devin Weston
Devin Weston was meant to be hated, and Rockstar nailed it. A billionaire tech mogul dripping with arrogance, Weston was the face of corporate greed. But let's be real: he wasn't deep, he wasn't layered, and by the end of GTA 5, we'd all had enough of his smug face.
GTA 6 promises nuanced characters and morally gray storylines. Weston, with his one-dimensional 'rich guy = evil' energy, just doesn't fit that mold anymore. His role was essential in GTA 5's satire, but Vice City deserves better villains.
2. Wade Hebert
Wade was meant to be Trevor's goofy sidekick, but instead, he felt like a weird fever dream you couldn't wake up from. Childlike, awkward, and completely out of sync with the tone of the game, he added little to nothing to the narrative.
His scenes were more cringe than comedy.
With GTA 6 reportedly doubling down on realism and story-driven depth, Wade would stick out like a sore thumb. Leave the clown shoes at home.
The "Very Pointless" Lamar Missions of GTA 5
3. Lamar Davis
Yes, Lamar gave us some hilarious moments. That roast? Legendary. But that was
one moment
. Beyond that, he was stuck in a loop of clowning Franklin, causing chaos and dragging the plot sideways. He never really evolved or grew, and by the end, he felt more like a loud side quest than a true supporting character. In GTA 6, we need characters with depth, not just background noise. Lamar's charm wore off fast, and while we love a good meme, his return would just feel forced.
Not every character needs a sequel. GTA 6 has already shown signs of growth with new cities, deeper protagonists, and a world that feels more alive. To match that, it needs a fresh cast, not recycled side-characters stuck in old formulas.

KL Rahul Missing Daughter, Gets Emotional On Air: 'Was Really Hard To Come Here'
Last Updated: KL Rahul got emotional on camera while speaking about his daughter Evaarah and missing his father duties for the India-England series. Senior India batter KL Rahul got emotional on air while speaking about his newborn daughter, Evaarah, on Friday (July 25) on the sidelines of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy. Evaarah was born on March 24, when Rahul was on leave during IPL 2025, but he rejoined Delhi Capitals only two days later and then came to England in early June, just days after the tournament was concluded. He has enjoyed a good run in the five-Test series, scoring 421 runs, including two centuries, at an average of 60.14. However, off the field, staying in England without his wife, actress Athiya Shetty, and young family hasn't been easy. He said joining the India 'A' squad for a tour game against England Lions before the Test series was a difficult decision to make, too. 'Yeah, it's a great time in my life for my family," Rahul told former teammate Cheteshwar Pujara on the Sony Sports broadcast. 'I've always loved children. I've always wanted children for a long time. So, made me and my family really really happy. We're in a great place. She's a beautiful little girl. It's brought so much happiness into our lives," he added. 'I have done a little bit (father duties), but unfortunately, two days after she was born, I had to go play the IPL game. And I tried in whatever breaks we got during the IPL to go back for a couple of days and then finish the IPL. It was really hard to take that decision to come here and play that India A game as well because I had not spent any time with her and I knew when I came here, I won't see her for another two months," Rahul said. The tour concludes on August 4 after the final Test and as of now, there's nothing scheduled for India in the month. Rahul said that he's always on the 'baby camera' watching his daughter and is glad to have the support of his family in this time. 'There were some really hard decisions that I've had to make in the last few months. But yeah, I thought that that was the right thing to do for me professionally and my family's been really supportive. My wife was very supportive. So, I came here. So, I haven't seen her and I just keep seeing her pictures and I'm always on the baby camera. Making sure I don't miss anything or any part of her growth. So, it's a difficult thing to do when you're traveling and playing and you miss each day," he said. India are traling the five-Test series 2-1 and are in a precarious position in the fourth Test with England leading by 186 runs at the end of the third day at Old Trafford. view comments First Published: July 25, 2025, 23:41 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
