I did a search for this and there hasn't been one for a while! The way this will work is each forum member will list their top fifty EastEnders characters of all time- and the point system will work in reverse- eg. 50th place would get one point- and 1st place who get 50!

Your votes can either be PMed to me or posted in this thread! To clarify- submit your numbered vote in a countdown (50, 49, 48..) until you hit your favourite character and then I will do the scoring system!

You have until 14/11/12 to do this, so get voting.

Grant Mitchell - period!

Classic opening exchange:

Dennis: I don't want to have to hurt you

Grant: Well...that's hardly likely is it?

I probably would have Den Watts on my list, but I was too young to watch his first stint on the show despite many rave reviews about him from people I know. And his second stint just stank, so he's no where near my Top 10 .

Far too many of these I think considering we have had countless ones we should leave it till the end of the year otherwise they simply lose their meaning.

Just a few there.

I go for tough and beautiful survivors which makes Ronnie my all time favourite followed by Chrissie Watts

This actually made me burst out laughing.
