Lol nooo go Darren that piece of hunk!
(Though I think it will either be won by Dodger or Johnny Carter, the latter of which would be high up due to the storyline and popularity, but does not deserve best looking - so in that case hope Dodger wins if Darren doesn't)

Max Branning's bummmm has rated quite low

Interesting that Bernice is very much middle of the table, I can never quite work out if she's hot or not

It's kind of cruel to start with a list of soaps mingers.

Sorry - just going from worst to best
