16. Charlie McKinnon - 21 votes
What would you call a guy who idolizes you, beats people up for you, breaks into your business after hours to wear your clothes, and even wants to smell like you? You’d probably call him a stalker, but since Zoe McCallister already claimed that title, we’ll just call him Charlie.

Charlie McKinnon’s obsession with Kim was never clearly defined. Whether it was innocent friendship he was seeking or romantic bliss, he wasn’t about to let anyone get in the way of it. He murdered his own grandmother and kidnapped Kim's girlfriend. He even held Rachel hostage at the Gymn (which could have gone a lot differently if Home and Away had a higher rating), all in the belief that he and Kim would somehow be granted the ambiguous title of "mates forever." Unfortunately, Charlie's feelings were unrequited and he ended up with a one-way ticket to the Ryfton Lakes psych ward, which must by now be overflowing with Summer Bay psycho's, in fact they have probably had to build a new wing to accommodate them all. Charlie was never seen again.

17. Tracey Thompson - 20 votes
Tracy picked up a fair few votes by virtue of the fact that she was Zoe/Eve's lover. She did not do much else apart from make Peter look a complete idiot, which actually is not that difficult. She helped Zoe/Eve escape from the prison van, and then got blown to bits with her at Jack and Martha's wedding reception.

18. Felix Walters - 19 votes
Felix was a professional anarchist at the uni, who loved trouble and was anti everyone and everything. His brain had been scrambled by crystal meth and, along with a lot of viewers, he took a huge dislike to Dani Sutherland who wrote an article about him. He and his girl friend Sarah targetted Dani and made her life hell for quite a few months. He died when Sarah misguidely gave him too much crystal meth thinking he would get better, as he had been beaten up by some of Viv Standish's contacts, Viv being Dani's old friend The Gov. We were quite sad when he died as he was very good at winding Dani up.

19.Morag Bellingham - 16 votes
Morag has changed over the years. She tried to humiliate Ailsa and to stop her marryng Alf, she encouraged Roo to be anti Ailsa, she hated Bobby, who was in fact her daughter, and she did all sorts of things which made her a pariah. She tried to get custody of young Sam by devious means after Bobby's death, and was banished for quite some time. Her ability to deliver a stinging rebuke or put down has not diminished, her run ins with Colleen are are delight, and her bickering with Alf is just pure class. She has mellowed with age, but you would not want to get on the wrong side of her. She is not the villain today that she was in the early years. In fact some of us miss the old Morag.

=20. Kirsty Phillips - 14 votes
Kirsty had a relationship with, married and then absconded with the guy who raped her sister. It tore her family apart, but she went ahead and did it anyway. The K/K story divided viewers, they either loved them or they hated them. She was not written as nor cast as a villain, but many saw her actions as those of a selfish self serving villain, and they hated her for it.

21.Kane Phillips - 11 votes
People either love or hate this character. He was controversial. Kane raped Dani Sutherland, and then went on to marry her sister. He worked quite well as a villain as he had many layers and was not a black and white text book bad guy. He had his gentler side, he could be kind, and he would have died for Kirsty. That underlying streak of villainousness was always there though. Sometimes viewers did not know whether they were supposed to love him or hate him or both. That's what made him interesting.
