Your Favourite EastEnders Character - 10th Anniversary Edition

I can’t quite believe it. It’s been ten whole years since I posted a very disorganised thread on Digital Spy asking users to name their favourite EastEnders character. A decade later, and after a considerable gap, I’m here again asking the same question….No, don’t worry, we’re not repeating the whole tournament again. This time, I thought it only fitting to sum up the past decade and decide on which of the 200-strong cast from the past ten years can claim the ultimate title.

First, we must say farewell to Bertypop, who, after five magnificent years has decided the time is right to stand down as host. His are big shoes to fill, but fortunately, I’ve worn them in – there again it has been five years since I crowned Christian your winner and got in my metaphorical taxi out of here, so I may be a little rusty.

For this series, the 17th overall, we’re going to be voting on every regular character (and some significant others) who appeared in any form since Your Favourite EastEnders Character began on 4th March 2005. That’s a lot – we’ve got everyone from Mick Carter to Adi Ferreira, from Tyler Moon to Chrissie Watts - our very first runner-up - and with so many, we’ll have to be brutal, though I’m sure that’ll be no problem for DS! In each and every round, more than half the contenders will be eliminated.

So let’s get to work, and please support, promote, tell the whole community (talking to you, episode thread regulars!), we need all the votes we can get!

Group One
Ruby Allen
Bert Atkinson
Jack Branning
Janine Butcher
Johnny Carter
Shirley Carter
Linda Clarke
Jack Edwards
Pat Evans
Denise Fox
Dexter Hartman
Amira Masood
Ben Mitchell
Billy Mitchell
Janet Mitchell
Elaine Peacock
Julie Perkins
Shenice Quinn
Charlie Slater
TJ Spraggan
May Wright
Donna Yates

Vote for your TEN favourites from group one. Rounds will be posted every Wednesday and Sunday depending on voting numbers. If you need a reminder to vote in each round, simply request one with your vote and I’ll be happy to message you each and every time to ensure your favourite character never loses your vote.

    It does, I enter into it with trepidation....I dread the write ups! Though I may take a different approach this time.

    That was hard. I struggled because I only really liked about 5 or 6.
