Most Popular Character 2012: 6-10

We're nearly getting here and here we have an update where the average of the characters must be about 65 and that's including Belle who got stuck at 20.

Stewart, Alf

6. Alf Stewart (70 points)

Most people have heard of Alf. "Flamin this and that". However whilst he never does badly, he never really storms the polls either and it's probably because, despite his longevity, he actually hasn't done anything for a long time. He is usually just there.
Bellingham, Morag

7. Morag Bellingham (61 points)

Morag has spent the last decade coming and going from the Bay, but her popularity with the fans has stayed pretty constant with her no nonsense attitude to things and her constant downing of the nastier elements in the show. Definitely not the weakest link.
Roberts, Irene

8. Irene Roberts (56 points)

One of only two winners in the first four polls, Irene has been slowly, but surely slipping down the order. Part of the reason appears to be that she stopped getting any stories around, eh, the time the first poll took place and she topped it quite convincingly. It's as if the producers thought, we can't have the viewers liking a middle-aged woman, we need them interested in our hot, sexy young stars. Despite Irene's poorer performance, she's still finished ahead of many of those stars. I wonder if we'll need more than 1 hand to count Irene's stories between now and the next poll.
Fisher, Donald

9. Donald Fisher (51 points)

By far Fisher's best performance and surely one that can only be put down to the repeats, since he hasn't appeared on the current show since 2007 and that was so dire it certainly wasn't going to gain any new fans.
Taylor, Belle

10. Belle Taylor (47 points)

One of these people is not like the others. Born a full 40 years after any other character in this update, such is the world of soap, she has still managed to die before any of them. Belle came into the Bay looking for her mother, found her, and then she was turned into the Summer Bay punchbag, where they proceeded to throw illness, drug dependency and Drew at her.

Just the top 5 to go now!!!
