10 [15] = Maxine Minniver = 438pts
(Ranking History = X-X-15-10)


Kicking off this years top 10 is Maxine who climbs up 5 places to her highest position to date. Last year she was a relatively new character and slightly in Mitzeee's shadow. However since Mitzeee's exit she has kind of taken centre stage and flung into a domestic violence relationship with Patrick. It's a long running storyline and one which will hopefully end with Maxine strong enough to realise the truth about Patrick and to report him. She was mainly used for comic effect when she was originally bought in, however again since Mitzeee's exit she has been used on storyline's which are much darker than her introduction would suggest. I'm guessing 2014 will be a big year for Maxine as the domestic violence plot rolls on with hopefully a conclusion in sight soon. In the final vote she was basically switching between 10th and 9th place, 9th place is just 10 points in front of her which shows how close it was.

09 [11] = Tony Hutchinson = 448pts
(Ranking History = 16-21-11-09)


The longest serving cast member and the Hollyoaks equivalent to Ian Beale climbs 2 places, again to his best position to date. The character took centre stage in 2013 as the show reached it's 18th Birthday. Tony was diagnosed with cancer and he had to go through extensive chemotherapy and surgery. However it wasn't all doom and gloom for the character as he finally got together with Diane O'Connor and they had twins together. The show also did a special episode which revealed some of Tony's childhood and how the two characters had met before. I think it's great the character is ever popular and still managing to be ranked so highly and even get to his best position to date. There is clearly still mileage in the character, even if some of the gangster stuff which he has been brought into isn't the best. Hopefully 2014 will focus more on his relationship with Diane and his family rather than the other crap.

08 [13] = John Paul McQueen = 491pts
(Ranking History = X-X-13-08)


John Paul is another climber at 8, going into the top 10 after his recent rape ordeal. The character was re-introduced after a brief absence spell when his relationship with Craig broke down after they had a child together. Since returning to the show we've seen John Paul embark on affair with Danny Lomax and also the quite marmite sexual assault storyline with Finn. Whilst James Sutton may be doing a good job in terms of reacting to everything, I'm not a massive fan of the storyline as it's just Birkwood trying to be sensationalist for the sake of it. With the assault itself no yet out in the open, it's sure to say that John Paul will play a big part in 2014. In the final vote, John Paul managed to pull away from 9th and 10th place and was challenging 7th, however never quite managed to gain the votes required. However he makes a climb of 5 places and into the top 10.

07 [22] = Mercedes Browning = 508pts
(Ranking History = 09-20-22-07)


Continuing the trend, Mercedes leaps up the character rankings this year and to her best position to date. She has continuously been at the centre of some of the biggest storylines in recent years including the Silas ordeal, her prostitution, marrying Browning and then obviously killing off Browning and everything which is following on. People know my dislike for the character, however she is clearly very popular with voters and was at one point in the top 4 of the vote before she dropped back. She is a marmite character, however one that has definitely stamped her mark on the show since she joined. I think my main problem with her is that the character never grows/ changes despite everything that happens to her ie there is no development. However as I said she is one of the soaps best bitches and does have a hoard of fans; topping a whole heaps of votes and also coming bottom of fair few to. Either way people seem to have an extreme opinion on her one what or the other.

06 [05] = Darren Osborne = 528pts
(Ranking History = 04-04-05-06)


So after three years of being in the top 5, Darren slips a place to number 6 after he received a fair few low votes in the final round. I actually thought he would be top 3 especially after the departures of Brendan, Jacqui and Mitzeee, however it wasn't meant to be this year and in fact at one stage of the vote he was level with Tony at 9th. Darren's had a big year really what with the birth of his son prematurely and Nancy becoming addicted to her meds, then Sienna coming into the fold and taking Nancy's place. He's been a bit of an idiot all round really and to be honest doesn't deserve someone like Nancy. There has always been a good level of depth to Darren though and his gambling problem and past is never shied away from. He is an important character in the shows history and even now we're finding out more things about his past; including Sandy being is real mum. With Sienna coming back to the show and becoming more prominent I'd imagine there is a lot more action for Darren to come in 2014.

I'm pleasantly suprised to see Dodger and Cindy in the Top 5, both great characters but I thought they'd be lower down.

I'm going with:

5. Cindy Cunningham
4. Dodger Savage
3. Nancy Osborne
2. Ste Hay
1. Sienna Blake

But I'm probably completely wrong

05 [19] = Dodger Savage = 529pts
(Ranking History = X-14-19-05)


Maybe a surprise top 5 entry here, however Dodger climbs 14 places to his best position to date and beats Darren to the position by just 1 point. he had a big year last year with Texas dying, the revelations about Will and also finding out about Theresa killing Calvin. There is no doubt that Dodger is easy on the eye, however I think the last year or so he has come into his own as a character and whilst he is eye candy I think he's a much more rounded character now. Bringing in Patrick and Sienna has also helped that too. Seriously though who'd have thought a couple of years ago a Savage would make the top 5 in a DS poll. He's had a bit of a quiet time recently so, however that's only because of the whole Will reveal thing. No doubt 2014 will bring more Dodger related antics as he hooks up with more of Chester's finest. In terms of the final vote, Dodger received some very good rankings and was always in contention to finish around the 5-7 mark, which isn't really too bad to be honest.

04 [04] = Ste Hay = 550pts
(Ranking History = 03-05-04-04)


Ste becomes the first and only non-mover in this years top 10 as he sticks in 4th place behind the big three once more. Ste has a huge following on DS and he consequently had a big amount of top rankings, however by the same token also has his detractors and was featured in the lower regions of many voters list. Part of the reason why he didn't challenge the big top two, he does however just miss out on 3rd place by 2 points. Over the last year Ste has been affected by Brendan's exit, Doug dying and almost sleeping with his father. However he has also seen his step family introduced onto the show and we've seen him face his demons by visiting his mum/ helping her to die. Ste has played a big part in the show for many years and with Stendan managed to build up a hugely loyal fanbase, it doesn't seem as though Ste will be exiting the show soon and it will be interesting to see how he does in the next year and with the vote... will he finally win?

Bit shocked Dodger made the Top 5, thought there were much better characters who finished below him but he has been better this year.

Great Top 3, hope Nancy wins
