Most Popular Character 2012: 100+

The first updates are usually a very mixed bunch of characters that one person still likes enough to vote for. Though in this first batch of characters, all those who scored 1 point, even they couldn't place them higher than 5th.

Nash, Travis

100. Travis Nash (1 point)

Perhaps chosen more for his looks than acting ability at first, Travis was kind of like a hip uncle for the later part of the 90's where he married Rebecca Fisher. Apparently somewhere in Canada with some kids now.
Morris, Carly

100= Carly Morris/Lucini (1 point)

After almost three and half years of exposure in 7Two, with some big storylines like rape, alcoholism, em, bumbling around with Ben for the past year... perhaps Carly may have expected to have done a bit better, but when you think about it, it's been a while since she did anything particularly exciting.
Ackroyd, Judith

100= Judith Ackroyd (1 point)

Pretty much like Gina 12 years ago, the sort of kindly, but stern school headmistress and of the blink and you miss it characters that didn't stay around long circa 2000.
Newton, Viv

100= Viv Newton (1 point)

An early year's character that has already come and gone, and never seen again since (though I've heard some exciting things about 2013).
Cunningham, Luke

100= Luke Cunningham (1 point)

A character so brain-wateringly dire that he's usually held up as object of ridicule, but eh, well, for the first time ever I believe, Luke Cunningham has made our list. Exciting storylines included annoying Alf with his constant sax.
Patterson, VJ

100= VJ Patterson (1 point)

VJ has been around for quite a long time if you think about it, and should now be reaching the time when the writers start giving him more constant storylines. Though sometimes that means moving from cute-kid to devil-child.
West, Josh

100= Josh West (1 point)

It's funny to think that ten years ago Josh rolled into Summer Bay, as a rich kid who ended up being the lifeguard, and then went power-mad, buying every single bit of property in Summer Bay, becoming mayor and then leaving the show dead. So not quite the usual bad-boy-done-good.
Smith, Romeo

100= Romeo Smith (1 point)

Where art thou Romeo? In the first update, that's where. When you look at the company he is keeping, the writers appear to have gone wrong somewhere. He's given on average two or three day's exposure every week and he's gathered one point. He's meant to be likeable and clearly he's anything but. It could have been worse. In previous years polls he would have been below a dog and a stuffed toy.
McPhee, Floss

100= Floss McPhee (1 point)

A fall for Floss, the quirky fortune teller from 1988. Mind you on the 7Two repeats it's over two seasons since she left, and what once felt so far in the future, but was only 260 episodes, now seems a very long way in the past. Neville, her husband, continues to score the same number of points as he had storylines, zilch.
Forbes, Brian

100= Brian 'Dodge' Forbes (1 point)

Brian Knight, or whatever his name was. His showing here has actually surprised me, as his placing has fallen after his whole 1989 stint was repeated. I really expected him a bit higher than this.
Lee, Ryan

100= Ryan Lee (1 point)

A character from 1991 and 92 who will shortly be gracing our screens on 7Two and then sporadically for the next couple of years, his inclusion is one of those that genuinely surprise. Not because his storyline wasn't memorable at the time, it was just such a long time ago.
Callahan, Darcy

100= Darcy Callahan (1 point)

Darcy is the first of four "Braxtons" to make this list. There's really not much more you can say is there.

And for those think, damn, Drew didn't appear today, I wonder if he'll appear tomorrow, I'll put you out of your misery. No. Like the character, he is pointless.
