Most Popular Character 2012: 31-40

Onto the top 40, and I might be the only one that's got a mixture of "Whole Lotta Love" and Jimmy Savile in my head. Now then, now then, how's about a bit character revealing.

Scott, April

31. April Scott (19 points)

April is a bit of a puzzling one. She came in as this sweet as sugar girl focused on saving the environment, and suddenly she seems to have turned into the local minx who likes to jump into bed and what was once a different relationship with Dexter seems to now be solely focused on taking each other's clothes off.
Braxton, Heath

32. Heath Braxton (18 points)

Occasionally in the list you get two characters that actually had something to do with each other and I think is there any joke I can work in here without offending people's sensibilities. This is not one of those occasions since Heath has absolutely nothing in common with Celia.You will not be surprised to find out that this is the first appearance of a Braxton brother in the list.
Rosetta, Angelo

33. Angelo Rosetta (17 points)

Sounding a bit like something you'd order in a pasta restaurant, Angelo decided to open his own after his stop-start-stop-start police career. Only problem was, like most businesses, he ran into financial difficulties after a few months. Which was convenient that he needed to sell just as the actors contract was up.
Stewart, Celia

34. Celia Stewart (16 points)

Such was the strange order in which people voted, after the first 24 hours or so voting Celia was in the lead. Whilst the beginning of the voting can often produce interesting results, since a few people voting for a certain character at the start can artificially bolster their position, this was bizarre since in the previous poll Celia hadn't scored a single point. Some sense of normality set in and for the rest of the month she barely scored again.
Hunter, Robbie

34= Robbie Hunter (16 points)

Some of the teenagers you see falling down, and in the cases of people like Jade, Seb and Cassie right off the list, you think, good riddance, you were rubbish and others you are sad, because they actually were pretty good and unique. Robbie falls into the latter group. Jason Smith has joined the increasing of ex-teen superstars who are now making a living behind the camera.
Andrews, Tasha

34= Tasha Andrews/Hunter (16 points)

The problem with Home and Away's location is that sometimes it can look like one of those cheesy Glenn Medeiros music videos from the late 80's whenever you do romance scenes on the beach. Good looking male. Check. Blonde girlfriend with dress blowing suggestively in the breeze. Check.
Copeland, Miles (Milco)

37. Miles Copeland (15 points)

First scored in our 2006 poll. The observant amongst you may notice that he didn't actually appear until 2007. If I had known that I would have voted for Jay Gales who is caught reading a girlie magazine in class in May 2013.
Nash, Gypsy

38. Gyspy Nash (14 points)

4 people voted for Gypsy, of whom 3 voted for Shannon. This could lead to you two conclusions. Firstly that Gypsy and Shannon were very good characters, or that certain people might have some sort of fetish for the scarlet haired members of the species. Since I was one of those voters, we'll go for the first option.
Vale, Amanda

38= Amanda Vale (14 points)

Blonde bombshell from the mid noughties, that seemed to be given loads of soaptastic plots. Whether it was marrying men about three times her age, discovering her daughter had been given away at birth, dating her daughter's boyfriend or having her life turned upside down by her psycho sister just as she was about to marry her ex-husband's brother, she managed to fit it all into two years.
Harris, Roman

38= Roman Harris (14 points)

I never got Roman. Perhaps as a Scot, that's the effect of Hadrian's Wall. Which is a shame because I thought Conrad Coleby a talented actor and it's a shame that it never amounted to much.
