Well, it's been a long road, getting from there to here, but we're finally at the end of this poll. Who will be crowned your favourite character? 1. Sally Fletcher (108 points) ►NC◄ Played by Kate Ritchie Well, in the end it's not even close: For a fifth successive poll, Sally takes top spot. The cute kid from the original cast who outlasted almost all the adults, we have actually seen some more of her since the last poll, as she, um, returned to town to announce her only daughter had a terminal illness (could she really not have...
And so here we are at last, with the first half of the Top 10. And a right mix of characters they are. 6. Morag Bellingham (53 points) ▲1 Played by Cornelia Frances The mother of Bobby and one-time employer of Marilyn spent less than a year as a regular, living in the big house and dispensing sardonic put-downs, but it was her frequent returns during the 2000s which saw her turn from city snob to the Bay's resident legal expert (although her exact success rate was notoriously poor). Last returned for Roo and Harvey's wedding but didn't say...
Fifteen points separate the ten characters in this poll as the field starts widening and the list of possible winners starts shrinking. 11. Ricky Sharpe (35 points) ►NEW Played by Bonnie Sveen This poll's highest new entry, Ricky has managed to gain quite a few fans in about a year and a half on the show. It's a bit hard to tell if she's meant to be Brax's equal, a calming influence, or yet another innocent being dragged along in his wake at times, but at least it's guaranteed her being front and centre of the most dramatic storylines....
Nearing the upper echelons of the poll here and the point count is still fairly low. Could we have some high scorers coming up? 21. Ailsa Hogan/Stewart (18 points) ▼5 Played by Judy Nunn & Nancye Hayes One of the longer-serving members of the original cast, Ailsa spent over a decade as the show's secondary mother figure and the original owner of the first two Diners. It's perhaps a sign of her impact that, even though she's now been gone longer than she was on the show, no-one has ever seriously considered having Alf re-marry. 21= Kyle Braxton (18...
What do this selection have in common? They're all placed between 30 and 39! 30. Michael Ross (13 points) ◄RETURN Played by Dennis Coard After years of being remembered as ""that one that replaced Tom"", 7Two has recently given Michael his first long-term exposure since the 90s and reminded people that he was actually a pretty good character and likable foster father. So here's his first appearance in the polls since 2006. 30= Noah Lawson (13 points) ▼10 Played by Beau Brady Noah, on the other hand, has been a regular feature in these polls ever since the days...
We're now at the point where everyone in this update must have had at least two people voting for them, maybe more, so they can be guaranteed at least some semblance of popularity. 40. Angel Brooks/Parrish (9 points) ▲4 Played by Melissa George Recently arrived on 7Two screens, one half of ShaneandAngel managed to achieve iconic status despite having an ever-changing back story and family members who appeared and disappeared as the plot demanded. After being a young mother, young bride and young widow, Angel headed off to live happily ever after with an English millionaire. 40= Bianca Scott...
If you've got five points, it means you might be someone's favourite character. But if you are, no-one else voted for you. And sneaking in at the beginning of this update is the first of our big hitters with six points, which means they definitely had more than one person vote for them. 51. Gina Austin/Palmer (6 points) ▲30 Played by Sonia Todd Last time round, Gina was languishing in the lower reaches of the poll. She's a bit higher this time, possibly down to having a memorable death. After easing into the show by making regular visits to her family, Gina ended...
And now we have those with four points. Do the maths yourself. 62. Adam Cameron (4 points) ▼3 Played by Mat Stevenson The show's resident jack-the-lad in the late 80s and early 90s, who, if you're watching on 7Two, feels like he's been around forever. And he hasn't even killed Bobby yet, which is what he's mostly remembered for. Last seen on the show in 1999, when he came back to town to run a burger bar. 62= Amanda Vale (4 points) ▼24 Played by Holly Brisley The femme fatale of the mid-2000s. The show couldn't quite decide whether...
So, the third update is those with three points. Which means they're one person's third favourite or three people's fifth favourite or...nope, this is getting too complicated. 70. Blake Dean (3 points) ▼16 Played by Les Hill The not-all-that-rebellious rebel turned responsible citizen of the early 90s, probably still best known for his relationship with the doomed Meg Bowman, even though later years saw Sophie cast in the role of his soul mate. Also seems to have made a habit of walking out on girls he promised to be with forever but may be happily married now, who knows? 70= Darcy...
So the second update is those with two points, meaning they were either one person's fourth favourite character or two people's fifth favourite. 84. Damian Roberts (2 points) ◄RETURN Played by Matt Doran One of the 1990s characters currently benefitting from exposure on 7Two: It must be a decade or more since Irene mentioned her youngest son, but fans have obviously rediscovered the sensitive nice guy whose love life was so disastrous he became a priest. 84= Dani Sutherland (2 points) ▼37 Played by Tammin Sursok The oldest Sutherland girl and the one who was labelled a princess at...
So we begin our 2014 poll with a new host, which hopefully will go better than when Jim Davidson took over The Generation Game. As is traditional, this first section consists of those who only had one point, meaning they're one person's fifth favourite character. 93. Cheryl Braxton (1 point) ►NEW Played by Suzi Dougherty The Braxton matriarch, who has suffered from having a new personality in each appearance and disappearing for months at a time, but is at least liked by one person. 93= Chris Harrington (1 point) ►NEW Played by Johnny Ruffo A low showing for what...
Now that the 2013 season is well and truly underway, we're taking a look back at 2012 with our Back to the Bay End of Year Quiz. The questions are all based on episodes 5436-5630 (based on the Australian airings, that's the 2012 season return through to 19th October), so keep this in mind in your answers - anything that has happened since these episodes hasn't been taken into account.If you want to take part in the quiz and have your answers marked, you must be a member of our forum.

1. Sally Fletcher (124 points) So, alas, we are at the end again and our winner for the fourth time in a row is Sally. I wondered whether Sally's popularity would hold after her departure and whilst she neither scores the same number of points or had quite the same monotony of 5's as Loreen had 12's, she still holds her place as Home and Away's most popular character. We should remember it was not always thus, with Sally only scoring a lowly position in our very first poll before Dan Bennett thrust her to the forefront of the...
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. 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. 7. Morag Bellingham (61 points) Morag has spent the last decade coming and going from the Bay, but her popularity with the...
Things are getting serious, after this update we’ll have just ten characters left. 11. Marilyn Chambers (46 points) Marilyn has been home and away from the Bay (groan!) more times than you can shake a stick at. Currently back in the bay, doing very little of what made her so popular in the nineties and instead stealing babies and... actually that was probably her last storyline. 11= Ruby Buckton (46 points) Ruby joins Marilyn in eleventh place after obsessing her way through the male population of Summer Bay. Still it can’t have been easy with the death of your granddad...
So, for those that are in the twenties. 21. Martha MacKenzie (26 points) Roo’s long lost daughter once made our top five which meant she got the honour of having a whole page to herself. Now she has to share it with ten others. However, she does get to share it with her beloved Jack, one of Home and Away’s marmite pairings. 21= Sasha Bezmel (26 points) Sid’s long lost daughter who arrived in Summer Bay like a cyclone last year with several massive stories, including all that business with Stu Henderson. However, like most storms, she appears to have...
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. 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....
As the list continues, and we're now in our 5th update, the characters begin to get a bit more interesting and conveniently the number of points from now on falls so well we get four round batches of ten characters. Here's the first. 41. Ric Dalby (13 points) Ah, Ric. His entrance into the show may have been one of the ridiculous soap opera contrivances that saw the new character's father and grandmother die within episodes of him arriving on the show, around the same time Alf found out he was his grandfather and Colleen happened to remember some important...
No, we haven't missed a chunk out of the 4th update. Bizarrely despite the huge number of votes and characters voted for, not one single character managed to contrive to get a total of 7 points. 51. Geoff Campbell (10 points) What a brilliant character to start this update. I didn't think much of Geoff on the show and probably like him more now that he's not on it. It's my opinion that a lot of the recent teens suffered from writing that lacked definition and consistency. Geoff appeared to swing from Man of God to thug on a weekly...
We continue our countdown with the characters who scored 4-5 points. 67. Indigo Walker (5 points) I have to say that this was probably the biggest surprise for me. Nice enough looking girl, has had what feels like a large amount of screen time and yet has only managed 5 points. OK, it’s still 5 times more than her husband scored, but with a grand total of 6 points, they’re not exactly Shane and Angel or Kirsty and Kane. Actually, they’re as popular as Steven and Viv and only marginally more popular than Nathan Roberts and that Irish nurse. 67=...
Right, here we go. Nine characters that scored 3 points and 10 characters that scored 2 points in what will be the largest update. 81. Colleen Smart (3 points) Each time recently we've done one of these polls, Colleen has always done badly and each time it surprises me. Possibly became a bit long in the tooth or ill used towards the end of her 13 year stint, and the show has certainly lost a perhaps unique character. 81= Kim Hyde (3 points) One of the interesting things about time is that Kim's departure, over five years ago now, seems...
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. 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. 100= Carly Morris/Lucini (1 point) After almost three and half years of exposure in 7Two,...

Angelo/Aden - The confused timeWhen Aden's trial came up, Belle tried to convince him to talk about his abuse to explain his kidnapping of his father and Rachel. She succeeded in that and in an emotional scene he explained his abuse and was given a Community Order. In the aftermath Belle admitted to Aden that she still loved him. Despite her growing feelings for Aden, Belle tried to convince herself of her commitment to Angelo by sleeping with him.In return for Belle's support in visiting his father, Aden agreed to help her uncover some evidence at the development site....

As one of the world's largest killers in all its forms, it is granted that cancer would come up every now and again and as we say goodbye to Belle from bowel cancer, it's time to look back at how the show has covered cancer over the years.In the first few years, cancer was only really briefly touched upon as the cause of the predicament that the youngsters found themselves in. Bobby's ""mother"" Doris Simpson had died of cancer, which attributed to her going of the rails, and Blake and Karen had arrived in Summer Bay after their mother had...
ArrivalRic discovered Belle living rough on the beach. She was on the run (in search of) her birth mother who she believed to be living in the Bay. She had rejected her adoptive parents along with the name Susan which they had given her. RicSettling in the Bay in a room at Irene's, after being caught breaking into her car, Belle quickly set about making an impression on Ric who she ended up kissing in front of his then girlfriend Cassie. The plan succeeded, she and Ric became an item. Ironically despite her bold pursuit of Ric it was while...
Belle first became involved with the development when she was approached by Murray Buchanan, an employee of the council's environment department, who wanted her to write a story for him. He explained that the council had recently contracted an area for a new development but that the area had been used back in the 1960s as a dump for toxic waste. He had been refused permission to carry out a full test of the area and was worried that the construction work would expose the town to toxic substances.Belle reluctantly agreed to follow up Murray's suggestion that as a...
Belle first encountered Dom when she was dating Ric and Dom was one of his workmates at the garage. Ric confided in her that Dom was giving him a hard time and tried to make friends with him by inviting him to have lunch with him and Belle. Any good will from the olive branch quickly disappeared and Belle was horrified when she found Ric collapsed from injuries Dom had inflicted, trying to persuade him to either quit his job or tell someone what Dom was doing. She made the brave but somewhat foolish decision to confront Dom herself...

The next monthly BTTB quiz has now been launched!
When Roman arrived in town in his panel van he made an immediate impact on the residents but his reluctance to talk about his past and where he'd come from set alarm bells ringing in some people and evoked curiousity in others. Roman had a few little secrets which emerged at various times but there was one big secret that he carried with him the whole time he was in Summer Bay and it was the one which resulted in his exit from the show.'Surprise arrival'Roman never let on to a soul that he had a 17 year old daughter...
We didn't know Roman was a father until a few months after he arrived. Nicole, his daughter, turned up just hours after Aden moved in with Roman. He got two hormonal teenagers in about two hours. Lucky guy! 'Hi Dad!'It was rather strained to begin with. Nic's mother, Natalie, didn't want Roman in her life, so he had no choice but to leave. Nicole turning up on his doorstep wasn't exactly what he was expecting after not being able to see her for years. Nicole was a bit of a wild child, so Roman had his work cut out for...
Over the last year and a half, we have seen numerous memorable moments in the Diner kitchen (and other kitchens!) involving Roman. These may have been small, insignificant moments, but they were entertaining at the time and were a breath of fresh air. 'The Hungry Derro'The first signs of Roman's character came to light when he was working in the Diner when he first arrived back in 2007. He was only a few days into his trial shifts when he came across Miles who was, at the time, homeless. We saw that Roman was generous and willing to help Miles...
Throughout his 18 months in the Bay, Roman's shoulder was used more than anyone else's to cry on. He was perceptive, understanding and, more often than not, gave the best advice. Not only did he develop the most amazing friendships with the most unlikely people, he was also on hand to deal with anyone else's problems that arose. We look back at just some of those people and situations.'The odd couple'When Martha invited Roman for dinner with herself and Morag it was clear that Roman and Morag had a mutual respect for one another as they bonded over wine and...
On the surface Roman seemed to have it all - looks, personality, a good body and he could cook! He was also mature, sensitive and very perceptive to boot! He certainly turned a few heads when he arrived in the Bay but was he really what every woman wanted?'Blink and you missed it' It was over so quickly that many people won't remember Roman and Rachel's brief flirtation, but they had a 'moment' or two that made us think that it could lead somewhere. However, Roman had a rival for Rachel's affections, Tony, who tried to discourage Roman from pursuing her due to...
Roman is not called Rambo for nothing! His time in the Bay has been full of incidents and life or death situations. More often than not he has been the hero, so here we look back at his best (and worst) action man moments. 'Cliffhanger'When Reverend Hall escaped from the hospital, Roman was entrusted with keeping guard at Irene's house. However, Annie slipped out to see Hall without Roman noticing. Geoff and Roman then set off on a mission and located them in a car on some cliffs. Roman wanted to handle it himself but Geoff insisted that he would be...
Roman's time in the Bay certainly ended with a bang! Quite literally! His exit storyline definately captured the viewers interest and the contrast between the action and emotional scenes at the end were very fitting to Roman's character. Here we relive the events leading up to his exit from the show and look at where is all went wrong for Roman. Little did we know when Brendan fired that rock at Leah's car that he would set off a remarkable chain of events that would leave the whole of Summer Bay reeling. Following the car accident, Roman's loved ones kept a vigil by his bedside...
Here are some comments from members about Roman Harris from his time in the Bay to his final episode:I think he was a very good father to two very challenging teenagers. He didn't have to take Aden in when he did but he supported him through some pretty tough stuff. He was good for Nicole. He gave her what she needed in a caring, loving parent. I think he was a good character. It was good to see his transformation from someone nobody in the Bay was sure of to part of the community. LiseRoman was written as an intriguing...

You'll have noticed that less than 100 characters have made the 'Most Popular Character' list. There have of course been more than 100 characters in Home and Away's history. I'm not even going to speculate the number characters who have made the closing credits of the show.There have, however, been approximately 125 characters who have made the opening credits. So here are the unlucky characters who haven't quite made it into our 'Most Popular' list.The actor and actresses names have been removed to save them from more embarrassment. Tom Fletcher Tom was the original caravan park dad. Unfortunately he...
What Happened to the Hunters? After all that voting and subsequent compiling of the results it would be foolish not to learn anything from them. Later on as we get nearer the top end I will go into more depth with some of the successes. However here I'm going to focus on some of the more disappointing results, more specifically the performances of Robbie and Beth. When we held this contest last time in November 2004, Beth and Robbie had been on Australian for screens for around a year each and in the UK Robbie had recently appeared whilst...
As the contest comes to a close, we take a look at some more interesting statistics. One Fan Characters Ultimately you need just one fan to make the list. So here they are, characters who had only voter along with their lone ranger:Alex Bennett - jayemmHarry Reynolds - Irish FanEduardo Bearo - Eduardo BearoPeta Janossi - DootjeDamian Roberts - tashyCelia Stewart - Benjamin ShatliffCharlie McKinnon - The Oxidising AngelTracey Thompson - The Oxidising AngelMartin Dibble - EerikMeg Bowman - apolloJames Fraser - halfpintBlake Dean - AngelRoseAlex Poulos - Bay Mad (must have been, to vote for Alex)Adam Cameron -...
If you are bored in your maths class, you'll probably not be interseted in what I'm about to talk about here. Since there are different numbers of viewers from each era, there will be differing numbers of voters from each era. Can any pattern be found with these results? It is of course no surprise that the more recent the character appeared on the show the more popular he or she is. It's obvious that there are more members on a board who watched the 2004 episodes than those who have watched the 1994 episodes. New viewers will be...
As we reveal the Top 5, we take a look at what some of our forum members have been saying about their favourite characters. 1. Sally Fletcher (389 points) ▲6 Played by Kate Ritchie Sally has moved up significantly in just under two years, an also-ran to a winner. On many occasions members on this site have asked for Sally to move to centre stage and Dan Bennett has been their fairy godmother. Sally has been through a lot, but this news will make Flynn's death feel worthwhile - yes, that's just how important I've decided to make this...
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. 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...
11. Vinnie Patterson (88 points) ▼2 Played by Ryan Kwanten Some four years after Vinnie left he still manages to keep the newcomers honest. Credit to the way Ryan played him, making Vincent Patterson a unique character and one of the most memorable. 12. Peter Baker (85 points) ►NEW Played by Nicholas Bishop The last time we had a Most Popular Character poll, Peter had carried out shoddy police work and ended up in a coma. Once he came out of the coma, he has not only picked up more fans, who are obviously not fans of good clever...
21. Colleen Smart (56 points) ▼3 Played by Lyn Collingwood Colleen is slightly down, but remains a favourite amongst some fans for constantly sticking her nose in where it is not welcome and coming out with her muddled up words. Her encounters with Morag are legendary. 22. Shannon Reed (85 points) ▲1 Played by Isla Fisher Shannon is up one place, but halfway through she was about tenth. Whilst there is no disputing that she was indeed SuperShannon, was her new found popularity amongst Home and Away fans due to the fact that she had appeared in 'Wedding Crashers'?...
41. Dani Sutherland (19 points) ▼25 Played by Tammin Sursok Dani was raped by Kane in 2001 and spent the next few years being aggreived by this. However being upset that someone raped you is obviously not a natural reaction, and huge groups of fans thought Dani should just let it go so ""oh so cute"" Kane and Kirsty could be together. 41= Shane Parrish (19 points) ▼7 Played by Dieter Brummer Shane appears to be the least popular half ot the middle 90's golden couple. He arrived in the bay a young tearaway, but he got together with...
62. Alex Bennett (5 points) ►NEW Played by Nick Freedman Alex is Saul's son and therefore Joey's brother. He only lasted on the show for a year in which he had a relationship with Shannon and briefly went blind. You only need one fan to enter the list. 62= Tony Holden (5 points) ►NEW Played by Jon Sivewright Tony came into the show, conveniently a single father the same age as Beth. However if you want me to list his storylines for the past year I don't think it would go much past two. 62= Harry Reynolds (5 points)...
77. Alex Poulos (2 points) ►NEW Played by Danny Raco The single voter that voted for Alex Poulos couldn't remember his second name and simply called him Leah's brother. Alex didn't do much memorable so it is therefore quite understandable. 77= Kelly Watson (2 points) ►NEW Played by Katrina Hobbs Kelly was the token doctor of the mid 90's. She also had a rather sleazy relationship with Travis, which she ended soon after he proposed to her by running away. Interesting fact - her brother played Marc Edwards in 2005. 77= Adam Cameron (2 points) ▼27 Played by Mat...
As we reveal the Top 5, we hand over to some of our forum members who explain why they voted for these characters. 1. Irene Roberts (162 points) An Aussie battler, a larrikin, a motherly figure in the lives of many young people, but at times not the best mother to her own children. Irene has become the heart and soul of Summer Bay. She is one of the people to turn to when you need help, and she is the first to stand up for what is just. The character of Irene has come a long way in her...
6. Alf Stewart (70 points) Alf has been a stalwart of the show since it began 16 years ago. Married twice, to Martha, then Ailsa as well as running a succession of different businesses, he has certainly been kept busy over the shows run and he has still had time to foster several different children. Alf has recently discovered a family he never knew he had. 7. Sally Fletcher (67 points) Along with Alf, the only remaining character from the original cast. Indeed, many long term viewers feel that they have grown up with Sally. The youngest of the...
11. Beth Hunter/Sutherland (44 points) The Hunters mum, Beth is sort of the third Pippa. Sensitive, caring, but also a pillar of strength and with a tough edge when needed. She quickly started a friendship with Rhys Sutherland, and within the year they were married. However, the marriage was short lived and Rhys left her for his first wife, Shelley. Beth was left looking after just Robbie, Matilda and Henry of what was a very full house earlier that year. 12. Gypsy Nash (43 points) Gypsy, was originally the spoilt brat of a teenager torn away from her lifestyle...
21. Josie Russell (19 points) Angie’s identical cousin came to the bay in 2004 after finding out about Tasha. 21= Nick Smith (19 points) The youngest of the Smiths, he ran on a short fuse and began to go off the tracks when he appeared on the dorm and split with Jade. However he got himself together and he left in 2003 to go to Hollywood and star in a film alongside Heath Ledger. 23. Shannon Reed (18 points) Arrived in the bay with foster brother Curtis, Shannon had an artistic streak, first as a painter and then as...
32. Jesse McGregor (9 points) As Alf once said, a good kid that found himself in the wrong crowd. Jesse has spent some time in gaol and has now returned to the bay to try and make up for it. Leaving a daughter a few years ago he owns a successful gym and had a long term relationship with Leah. However that fell apart and now he is with Josie Russell. 32= Jade Sutherland (9 points) Jade, the younger of the Sutherland twins and the quieter of the two has recently found out that she isn’t actually a Sutherland...
42. Brian "Dodge" Forbes (4 points) Known as the child that Pippa and Tom failed with, Dodge killed Steven’s uncle in a fire, before disappearing after going over a cliff in a fight with Steven 6 years later. 42= Scott Hunter (4 points) Arrived in Summer Bay in 2003 on horseback, he and Dani were engaged till recently. 44. Barry Hyde (3 points) The headmaster from hell. A strict disciplinarian, he caused graffiti and lock-ins during his first few months as protests to the way he ran the school. He has however mellowed slightly as the year has worn...
56. Paris Burnett (1 points) Brought into Summer Bay High to replace Don after he was sacked in 2002, Paris soon had a relationship with his secretary Irene. However Don was reinstated and Paris had to leave soon after. When Don decided to retire a year later it was Paris that was chosen to replace him and his relationship with Irene was rekindled. Tragedy struck when Paris’ brother and sister-in-law were killed in a car crash and he had to go and look after their children. 56= Dylan Russell (1 points) Angie’s son, and until an accident at the...
