Finally, it's here!
The results are in and with the help of Ryan, it's time to see who you have crowned Home and Away's Most Popular Couple.

Enjoy! Liz

The Results

So here we are, finally, the results, with accompanying funny pictures and smart comments. Remember, they are meant to be be humorous, so don't be offended.

 

1

The relationship between Jack and Martha seems to be something like Marmite; the forum members either love them or hate them. Despite the split, they still reached Number 1 on our poll!
 

2

Flynn and Sally were one of those couples who snuck up on you. They were not in your face, or all over you, but they made their way into the hearts of the viewers.
 

3

Vinnie and Leah were fun. Fun enough to make them your third favourite Home and Away couple.
 

4

Will and Gypsy were the bad girl bad boy combination of the 90's, and despite the fact that they departed from the soap many years ago, they've still reached Number 4 in our poll.
 

5

We're on the home straight, counting down from 5 to 1. Robbie and Tasha arrived in the bay as far from your average characters, and it wasn't long until they fell in love.
 

6-10

Ah, the fan favourites of past years are here. They've got lingering support from years gone by, but have now been usurped by the youths of today who cover the glossies.
 

11-20

The gap between those that captured the publics imagination and those that did not. There were likable, but didn't fuel a thousand fictions.
 

21-40

Here we learn about Ric's apparent fascination with the number 32 and the ever so slightly bemusing choice of Henry and Cassie.
 

41+

These guys are here just to pad things out in a way. It includes those couples that made a minor impression on just one of our voters and therefore get their five minutes of fame.
