Most Popular Character 08 - 4th

Well, here we are in 4th place, and as we saw frequently during 2006, Martha lies straight on top of Jack, if only be one measly point.

4. Martha McKenzie/Holden - 200 points
UP 2

Some will be happy, some will be livid. What am I talking about? Yes, you've got it. I'm talking about Martha reaching 4th place. In 2006 she reached 6th place, but this year it's 4th place for a character who is loved and loathed by many viewers. The daughter of Roo Stewart and Granddaughter of Alf Stewart, Martha Mckenzie (or is it Holden???), has had more storylines than Sally times Sally times infinity. Yes, it really is true. Nevertheless, this has given viewers an opportune amount of time to make up their minds as to whether they like her or not. And unless you were born on some other planet and haven't realized the mayhem that surrounds every single H&A fan of today, you will know that Jack and Martha have quite a fan base. And when I say ''quite'', I mean enormous. Yes, JM or JnM, or whatever the latest name pairing is, have a big following. Many Jack and Martha lovers are cheering them on to get back together, and we probably won't see the end of the fascination with them until after they have left. Therefore, it looks like the mayhem is set to continue for quite a while. Apart from the 'Will they, won't they get back together?' storyline with Jack, 2007 brought many other storylines for Martha, including her being sucked into Cam Reynolds' world at the Rocket Club. That, along with her many other storylines, caused Martha to undergo quite a transformation as a character. When we first saw her, she was a tomboy and an electrician, but in 2007 she became someone who had a vulnerable side - something we hadn't seen very much of before. Throughout every thing she's been through, Martha remains a popular character, as her ranking in this poll shows, and I presume it's likely to remain that way for quite a long time..well, until she leaves anyway.
