These threads either bomb or carry on at a fair pace, so there is a risk, but here we go anyway, just list your top 5 characters from each of the soaps you watch, even if only one. You can give explanations if you want:

Eastenders
1. Christian - Fun, three dimensional, well acted.
2. Masood Ahmed - well acted, interesting, likeable.
3. Archie Mitchell - utter b**stard, sinister, great villain.
4. Jay Brown - Complex young character, v well acted, realistic
5. Zainab - Unlikeable, controlling, Fearsome, Bloody brilliant.

Emmerdale

1. Natasha Wylde - Three dimensiona, a great,s trong willed, interesting and feisty character
2. Nathan Wylde - utter b**tard, but a very interestng, watchable b**tard
3. Cain Dingle - a bit different than before, but still the most complex, morally ambigious villain in soap.
4. Andy Sugden - unlikeable, interesting, lot of back story that adds to the realism of the character.
5. Paddy - good at the comedy stuff and especially the serious stuff, as proven altely. normal, likeable character. never thought id say this but lately ive ben lovin paddy, especially in the wee family unit he has now.

Hollyoaks
1. Ste - complex, unlikeable, interesting
2. Ash - ditto above, yet more unlikeable - evolving into an awesome villain.
3. Spencer - unrealistic as a disabled person? maybem but he's an incredably sweet, likeable, and lvoely character all the same.
4. Natty - just seems like a normal, likeable guy. played by prob one of the best actors in the show at the moment.
5. Darren - what a rascall!

Coronation Street
1. Ted - bland? maybe. likeable, great common sense, just generally awesome? yup.
2. Tony - The most complex villain in soap. relationship with maria atm is alternatively both sweet and disturbing.
3. Eileen - doesnt get much to do, but lets face it - LEGEND
4. Rosie - two reasons.
5. Sean Tully - the inevitable death scene will be amazing.

Last two corrie ones were not quite so serious. Just in case you didn't realise.

Good post!

Corrie

Tony- Dark, sinister but there's another side to him with Maria. Really in depth character.
Maria- She is just a normal girl that has a lot of love to give.
Jack- His jokes and ability to shut up Tyrone. Legend.
Ted- Likeable and a proper good grandad!!
Eileen- Love her generally but her scenes with Lloyd are really good comedy!

Eastenders (of what I watch)

Tanya- I dunno what I like about her but she is really a complex, enjoy scenes with her in.
Ian- Irritating as hell but funnny (and also Adam big red fan)
Christian- Well acted, great character and good looking!
Jane- Same as Ian really.
Stacey- When she first came in she was fantastic, the character dipped for a bit but she is back to her best now.

Emmerdale

Cain- Pain in the backside, irritates people but great character.
Nathan- Total to$$er they need to give him more storylines.
Chas- Again she has two sides to her the hard as nails side but now and then we see the Chas that wants love aka Carl- Hope they get together soon.
Bob- who could not like Bob!!
Paddy- So in love with Chas and just wants to be liked!

Dont really watch Hollyoaks or Doctors!

Coronation Street:

1. Blanche Hunt - Extremely funny, her one liners are outstanding.
2. Roy Cropper - A difficult role brilliantly executed
3. Ted ? - He is a 'normal' character andthe actor is exceptionally natural.
4. Becky Grainger - I've tried to fight it, I can't. I love her.
5. Tina McIntyre - Superb actor, a character who seemed essentially fully formed when she arrived but who continues to develop.

Emmerdale:

1.Laurel Thomas - Hugely likeable and with massive dramatic potential.
2. Debie Dingle - A superb actor and a character that has developed immeasurably over the last few years.
3. Edna Birch - Another brilliant actor in a difficult role who is very well served by teh writers.
4. Jimmy King - Hugely likeable and again an impressive development over the last few years.

Natasha IS rather good isn't she. Strong willled, posh but not overly so, willing to ,clearly do bad things when neccessary: likeable but not perfect, an excllent one dimensional character and one of the best characters to inhabit Home Farm. and, she is old enough to be my mum and then some, but i would also like to note i think she is very attractive.

Is it just me or is Mark Wylde still holding a slight torch for whats her face? Just the way he seems so intent on getting her out of the village.

Spoiler
Plus looks like she is getting it on with Cain who Ryan also likes

Heres mine

Emmerdale:

Natasha Wylde - superb character, strong willed with a lot of layers and very well played by the stunning and amazing actress Amanda Donohoe.

Debbie Dingle - another superb character, really has developed over the years and is really coming into her own.

Marc Wylde - think i must be one of a short few who like him...the Wyldes have only been in the show 6 months and i think the writers have only scraped the surface with him, i think theres more to come.

Jimmy King & Nicola Desouza - a great duo together, priceless amusement and are both great characters on there own.

1. Christian, totally agree, his awesomeness is awesome
2. Roxy, good to have a fun-loving character in, I think she works well as a mum as well
3. Mrs Masood- gets great one-liners, good actress too
4. Whitney- The best young 'un around at the moment, loved her reaction to Stacey, which leads me to:
5. Stacey- this bipolar storyline looks really good, I'm sure it'll go well

Ronnie would have been in there, but at the moment she's really boring doing her weepy waily "I want a baby" thing

EM

3. Victoria Sugden- She's grown on me a lot!

Why exactly has this been moved to the Game's room? there has been PLENTY other such threads that have remained in the main forum, so why this one? what an odd choice.

Bradley Lovable geek. Great senes with Stacey Jean and Dot. When Claire tried to seduce him dressed as Princess Leia was a classic!

Stacey Kat Slater mini me to start off love her scenes with Bradley and Jean. Bi-polar scenes are great too

Jean Crazy Funny Manic. Great scenes with Bradley Sean and Stacey. Seeing extra dimension to her character now Stacey has bi-polar.

Ronnie Tragic herione. You just want to hug her and pray for a happy ending.

Billy Loved his courtship of Little Mo. He's just a lovable loser. Makes me laugh when he has a serious scene and he pulls those faces of angst and suffering.

They should change the name of the forum in my opinion. They seem to shove any games, polls or list-based threads in here now. Ridiculous, because no-one ever looks in here. What harm were they doing exactly in the main forum?
