Best year for new arrivals

[DinerLandlord]

Hopefully people will vote based on what the characters were like when they first arrived, not on how you feel about them now. I've excluded the original cast because they never really "arrived", they were in it from the beginning, so I've decided to go from 1989 onwards. If I've missed any characters I apologize, but please vote for the year someone arrived if you really liked them, even if I've missed them. (I reckon I'll miss a few in the early years especially). I've put characters as arriving from the year they arrive even if they weren't regulars at first - for example Aden is included in 2005 even though he wasn't regular until 2008, with the exception of Martha - she was just a baby in 1988.

When you list them, like that, it's quite hard to say a particular year, because there's a few you like and then you get to one and saw, nah, I don't like them. I'm leaning towards either 1994 or 1999 though.

I know what you mean, I probably would have voted for 2005, except a certain two people arrived that year who put me off.

It was a tough choice between 2000 and 2004 for me, I ended up voting for 2004 though.

I LOVED Leah's character back when she first arrived, she was like another Marilyn Also with Noah and the Sutherlands back when they weren't annoying.

But 2004 has all the characters that i still like to this day, just not Kim And I MISS Josie so much. Shame she's gone.

I had to go for 2004, as that's when a certain gorgeous detective arrived

Werent Aden, Miles and Roman made regulars this year???

I picked 2005 though Cant go past the year Jack and Martha came onto the show for me

How old would have Duncan been in 1989?? I dont even know how old he is Around Marthas age?? And he is her uncle

Werent Aden, Miles and Roman made regulars this year???

The poll is about when the characters first arrived, not when they became regulars.
