Most Popular Character 2024

[Chris J]

It's that time again! Today we launch our eleventh biennial poll to find the most popular Home and Away characters, voted for by Back to the Bay readers and members of the BTTB forum.

This year, all you need to do is choose your Top 5 characters from the show's history, and vote for them by following this link.

Unlike in previous years, you can't vote on the forum itself, but you can still post any questions and discuss the vote in this thread.

We will allocate 5 points to your favourite character, 4 points to your second favourite and so on. We’ll then add all the votes up and announce the results at a later date, with @Red Ranger 1 once again providing commentary along the way.

Please be sure to read these few pointers before we get started:

• Strictly one vote per person, and you need to enter your email address to be able to vote. If you enter more than once, your most recent entry will be the one we count.
• We'll only use your email address to make sure your vote is only counted once. If you want to subscribe to our weekly newsletter full of Aussie soap spoilers, just tick the box and we'll add you to the list. Otherwise, you won't hear anything more from us.
• You need to choose 5 characters, so think hard.
• Both regular and guest characters are allowed.
• Please give a character's surname, as if you simply write down ‘Ben’ then we won’t know if you mean Ben Lucini, Ben Astoni or Ben Murray. If you need a refresher, check out our Characters section.
• Any characters who have debuted in Episode 8336 or onwards (airing in Aus on Monday 26th August 2024, and in the UK on Monday 14th October) are not eligible, due to the fact that these episodes have not aired in the UK as of the start of the voting.
• Please only vote for who you genuinely believe are the best characters from the show’s history – not just the ones you think are the best looking, or your current favourite!

Voting will run until Friday 15th November 2024.

Get voting here!

Omg very excited to see which characters made the cut, still hoping that one of these days a Most Popular Couple poll will happen.
