3) Miles

4) = Roman

Looking a lot like the Best Actor Award on the previous page, Todd picks up another award, this time as the forums favourite male character.

 

Favourite Female Character

2) Nicole

3) Rachel

4) Martha

5) Matilda

 

Belle wins the favourite female character, continuing the link between Most Popular Actor and Favourite Character, however Nicole and Matilda break the status quo.

 

Best Couple

2) Jack and Martha

3)= Rachel and Tony

= Geoff and Nicole

5) Ric and Matilda

 

Was there ever any doubt? Belle and Aden, ever since they got together around the middle part of the year have quickly gained a fandom that can rival others in recent years. Jack and Martha continue to be popular, whilst it's nice to see an adult relationship in Tony and Rachel feature. Geoff and Nicole have been pretty sweet and despite feeling out of place towards the end, Ric and Matilda still have their fans.

 

Favourite Storyline

08poll_kidnap.jpg1) Aden was sexually abused/kidnaps his father and Rachel

2) Sam's death

3) Sally and Milco

4) Cassie's HIV positive

5) Belle and the development site

 

As ever, it was a year of great storylines for Home and Away and you voted the story of Aden's abuse as your favourite storyline of the year. Lasting a good 3 or 4 months, it never felt like dragging and it call came to a head around the Olympics finale. Bevan Lee storylines from the first few months take 2-4, with the core story of the later third, the development coming fifth.


Least Favourite Storyline

2) Kirsty becomes an escort

3) Elliots revenge

4)= Bridget the con artist

= Melody and Axel

 

And the least favourite storyline. The Ric Fight Club storyline from the early year gets voted in because of it's pointlessness, whilst stories that probably seemed good on paper, but didn't work from towards the end of the season get voted in here. It's a shame, the work all year has been decent, but some of these, you wonder what they were thinking!

 

Most Memorable Moment

08poll_sally_alf.jpg1) Sally says goodbye to Alf

2) Aden breaks down and tells Belle about his Grandfather

3) Miles reveals that he is Milco

4) Aden kidnaps Larry, Rachel and Belle

5) Leah breaking down after Dan's death

It's a cliched saying, where were you when they put man on the moon or JFK was shot, and whilst Sally saying goodbye to Alf and leaving Summer Bay isn't quite as important as that, it's a defining moment in the shows history and is voted as moment of the year. Aden and Belle continuation their domination of the awards with 2nd and 4th, whilst Ada shows with 5th that given something good, she does a great job with it.
