Most Popular Character 2016

Even accepting the fact he may have changed body shape and physique extremely quickly, that doesn't explain why he suddenly looked 25. Even if he was a new character, he wouldn't be realistic as an 18 year. The same issue applies with Hunter to an extent, although it's probably not as much of an issue due to him not being a legacy character.

I think we'll have to agree to disagree on this one. I do know VJ has his fans, but I don't think I can be persuaded on him.

Hunter has been pretty good lately. I mean he's trying to reform. And it seems he can never win. I like that he's got a dark side. And he did unredeeming things. Despicable things msybe. I find nice, redeemable characters. Who are good all the time kinda dull. Matts a great example. Of someone who was like that. But turned that all around. And still maintaining his edge some what. I guess I'm just saying I find Hunter compelling. I expect Matt to score well in the top 15. Billie may score well too. Another character who hasent done great things. But is memorable.

Good job the routine hasn't come back to bite me... yet

Though admittedly my choice of viewing on Saturday evening was somewhat dictated by what time it would finish....

Getting very close now as we count down all those remaining above the Top 10 - scoring between 18-31 points.

Most Popular Character 2016

And from the lists you were posting last night, there's certainly one person in there that you didn't think of (quite understandably as it's not an obvious choice unless you'd voted for him!)

Hope you've been enjoying the little slideshow of Summer Bay views in here too

[Skylover]

Yes I have been enjoying them very much

Jeez louise...Peter Baker???! That was a shock and a half! I wasn't really watching much around the time he was in the show...well I was when he returned in 2006 but I don't think I saw enough of him to know what I think about him.

My immediate thought is it's a shame that Leah has been around for almost 17 years and still only manages to come 16th in the poll. But I personally think it's understandable.

Celia came 20th and I'm very proud of her. For a character who was only a regular for 2 years and essentially left 26 years ago I think that's very impressive. Of course the repeats and her 2012 stint have allowed her to gain some fans (like me).

It's nice to see Michael there, even though Tom clearly won't appear in this poll and he was just as good as Michael.

Kyle was hot but I can't decide if I like the character for being played in an understated and quiet way or whether he was just poorly portrayed. On the other hand I think he's my personal favourite of the Braxtons even if I think Brax deserves to be higher because he has a more mainstream appeal.

Chris is easily the best character from the 10s era in my opinion. He brought so much light to a dark show which was very much welcomed. He was also quite easy on the eye, which you wouldn't think from how the writers and characters treated him, as some kind of pariah to the female population.

I don't think Billie deserves to be there and I'm wondering how she managed to be there to be honest. 

I find Bobby and Matt slightly overrated. I see Matt as a tamer modern version of Aden.

Primary character of the 1st ten years Pippa comes 13th and I think that's a fair placing for her.

Very pleased Morag is in the top 10. Disgusted that Jack Holden must be appearing in there

Matt!! . Good too see him rank pretty high. He's currently my fav character. While I can see why some think he's overrated. In terms of comparing him to Aden. But I like how more stable Matt is then Aden was. 

Good too see Chris their too. Have to agree, on him being one of the shining lights of the 10s. I originally disliked him, when he was Indi. But once she left. Chris just grew on me. His storyline with Hannah. And post Hannah. Just made him so damn likeable. And the way he left. With his relationship with Irene. You could tell Lynne and Johnny are close. Really sold that home.

Billie. Now I can understand why ppl msybe confused she ranked pretty high. But before the VJ storyline. I remember in threads. Ppl saying she's the best currently. Reformed a bit. And while you can agree or disagree with her choices regarding VJ and the baby. She's generally a great character. And a Tessa has done such an outstanding job. Yes I'm bias lol. But I'm just saying she's been part of the biggest storyline with the Morgans. This year. And ppp have really warmed to her and VJ. So tbh I'm not that surprised she ranked pretty high.

Two more of mine down with Michael and Billie (I can definitely see why Belinda was there, one of the most empathetic and well-portrayed characters of recent years that I find impossible to dislike no matter how many things she does that I disagree with...which I guess is how some people feel about Hunter!). Just one of mine to go and I think everyone's guessed who it is...

Nope...Jack Holden?

[pembie]

No surprise that I voted for Billie Ever since she came to show she had a rollercoaster ride of trouble I have come across people like her abit lost and in trouble but not their fault so I can identify with her character That's the deeper reason I like her The main reason though is she's just dreamy Also her story with VJ has by far been the most interesting for me. Plus Billie is my fantasy girlfriend couldn't ask for any better haha

I voted for Chris too as well as being a fun character he had a deeper depth too him

One more vote to go for me now
