Most Popular Character 2006: 62-76

62. Alex Bennett (5 points) ►NEW

Played by Nick Freedman
Alex is Saul's son and therefore Joey's brother. He only lasted on the show for a year in which he had a relationship with Shannon and briefly went blind. You only need one fan to enter the list.

62= Tony Holden (5 points) ►NEW

Played by Jon Sivewright
Tony came into the show, conveniently a single father the same age as Beth. However if you want me to list his storylines for the past year I don't think it would go much past two.

62= Harry Reynolds (5 points) ►NEW

Played by Justin Melvey
Ah, well Irish Fan must have voted. Harry came in with an interesting storyline where he had been forced to change his identity. Once that storyline had finished Harry entered a few relationships, but essentially did nothing till he left in 2001.

62= Eduardo Bearo (5 points) ►NEW

Played by a Stuffed Toy
How galling must it be to think that a stuffed toy is more fondly remembered than you are? Bevan Lee had a thing for bears in 2004 and brought this one in as a gift for Kirsty from Kane. Some may argue he was the best actor out of the three. Eduardo was voted best supporting actor in the 2004/5 BTTB Oscar/Logies, which does not say much for the competition! Eduardo's modest memoirs also proved popular with BTTB members.

The eagle-eyed among you may spot that it is in fact not Eduardo Bearo pictured, but Vinnie in a bear costume. Trust us, we are searching hard for Eduardo Bearo.

62= Tug O'Neale (5 points) ►NEW

Played by Tristan Bancks
Bad boy comes into the show, bad boy gets fostered by Summer Bay family. Bad boys leaves show a credit to the world. Currently married to Sarah with two kids.

67. Peta Janossi (4 points) ►NEW

Played by Aleetza Wood
Peta had a really interesting entrance story, involving living off her dead grandmother's benefits. When this was discovered she was fostered by the Nashes and eventually went into a relationship with Edward, two of the shows most original characters. They soon left to travel the world.

67= Damian Roberts (4 points) ►NEW

Played by Matt Doran
Damian was Irene's youngest kid. He arrived in the bay, following his sister Fin there. He was a quieter character, but still managed to get Selina pregnant on one of his umpteen visits back to the bay after leaving the show.

67= Charlie McKinnon (4 points) ►NEW

Played by Matt Levett
As this character hasn't yet appeared in the UK, so as not to spoil anyone I won't mention anything about him. Still, must be good because at least one person voted for him.

67= Celia Stewart (4 points) ▼23

Played by Fiona Spence
Celia was the original Summer Bay busybody, annoying the Baysiders for the first two years of the show. She was rapped out of the show and when Ray Meagher wanted a few months off, he was zoomed off to Africa to save Celia who had been taken hostage. At least Celia has now modernised her hairstyle.

71. Tracey Thompson (3 points) ►NEW

Played by Sarah Enright
Another character yet to appear in the UK, so I won't spoil it for anyone, or at least try to cover my ignorance.

71= Martin Dibble (3 points) ►NEW

Played by Craig Thompson
The second part of the Troublesome Twosome of the early years, Martin is said by Colleen to have led Lance off the rails. However by 2000 Martin was a millionaire, except he wasn't. It was all an act as he didn't want to come back a failure.

71= Meg Bowman (3 points) ▼42

Played by Cathy Godbold
Meg and her mother Julie came to the Bay in 1992. Blake fell in love with Meg. However just to get the tear ducts flowing Meg was dying of leukemia. In one of Home and Away's highest rating episodes, Meg died in Blake's arms as the sun rose.

71= James Fraser (3 points) ►NEW

Played by Michael Piccirilli
James followed his brother into the show, urged by his mother who wanted him to marry Chloe so she could still see Olivia, Lachie's child. However Kristy Wright decided to leave and James ended up in his own hospital subdrama within the show.

71= Josh West (3 points) ►NEW

Played by Daniel Collopy
Josh arrived in the bay as the spoilt child of a CEO. He got the job as a lifeguard as he wanted to make it on his own. He was then partly responsible for Charlotte's death and then decided he wanted to be a multi-billionaire after all. He was bankrupt at the end of 2003, but by 2005 he was back with a beard and a plan to flatten the bay.

71= Blake Dean (3 points)▼21

Played by Les Hill
Blake Dean arrived with his sister Karen on the Stewart's doorsteps, their mother an old prison friend of Ailsa's. Blake's main storyline happened also to be Meg's main storyline so I won't go over that again. Has broken up with Sophie approximately 10 times over the past four years.
