Most Popular Character 2006: 6-10

6. Martha MacKenzie (147 points) ►NEW

Played by Jodi Gordon
Martha surprisingly doesn't have the same name as her grandmother or the American home goddess, and so there was a surpisinging number of votes for Martha Stewart. Her storylines have been slightly deeper than Jack's, it does help that she's his other half and so can pick up all those "aren't they cute?" votes.
Roberts, Irene

7. Kirsty Sutherland/Phillips (130 points) ▼4

Played by Christie Hayes
Kirsty, the highest finishing Sutherland and also one half of the iconic KK pairing. Kirsty managed to fall pregnant three times within one year, though one of the times she actually wasn't pregnant. As the KK fans drain away though, so will Kirsty's position slip.
Bellingham, Morag

8. Noah Lawson (129 points) ▲6

Played by Beau Brady
Noah Lawson was killed in 2004, shot dead by crazy Sarah. His continued appearance up here is probably more to do with his looks. His storylines were fairly mundane, but they were highlights such as his relationship with Hayley. There is much regret amongst a group of fans that he never got together with Kit.

9. Gypsy Nash/Smith (121 points) ▲3

Played by Kimberley Cooper
Well, I'm probably a bit biased here as I voted Gypsy my favourite character, but I can't argue with the hoardes. Gypsy was a unique character, fiery, finding trouble almost everywhere she looked. She was stalked, she was kidnapped, she was almost burnt alive and she fell pregnant. However all came good in the end and she married Will and left to live with her family.
Bellingham, Morag

10. Kane Phillips (119 points) ▼9

Played by Sam Atwell
Kane was 2nd last time, but since that contest was held he has left the show and the cult KK fans have stopped watching. Strangely Kane fell more than Kirsty, which would seem to imply that Kane only had fans of the KK following whilst Kirsty had more broad appeal.
