06 [05] Victoria Sugden - 10.01% - 424 points
Ranking History (31-21-05-06)


Victoria finally takes a drop down the rankings as she falls one place, but still an incredibly ranking. I adore Victoria, but I really don't like that she's back with Adam. I don't mind him or their relationship, but it seems a bit 'been there, done that, both at a loose end, let's repeat it' sort of thing. I think she can do much better. We'll see, but I don't hold out much hope of their relationship setting our screens alight...
05 [01] Nicola King - 10.27% - 435 points
Ranking History (03-01-01-05)


Nicola gets her worst ranking to date - and no, I didn't keep a straight face as I typed that! It's absurd that I said that, actually. Let's face it, the only way was down for Nicola but her rankings are still astonishing. Two wins, three top three places and four out of four top five placings. Amazing. Proves what a gem of a character Emmerdale has with her and hopefully the actress sticks with the show for a long time to come. I would imagine Nicola would be (secretly) delighted to know that she's ranked better than Jimmy every time, but I'm not sure she'd show it; she's more likely to snap back something like, "of course I'm better than him! We all know that!"

With Nicola (and David) out of the competition, we're guaranteed a new winner, but who will it be?
Robbed

03 [RE] Aaron Livesy - 10.79% - 457 points
Ranking History (27-X-X-03)


How apt that Robert's lapdog follows him straight out the competition! I don't understand the appeal of Aaron. His coming out storyline was the only thing the show got right with him. He's just a miserable, snarky sod who makes me want to punch the screen. Rolling his eyes at anything anyone says, no matter what they actually say. Cocky, arrogant, miserable little git. Did I mention miserable?
01 [21] Ross Barton - 11.38% - 482 points
Ranking History (X-X-21-01)


Last year, Ross was the highest new entry at #21. This year, he's the highest ranked character of the current cast! I'm pretty flabbergasted, to be honest, as he never ran away with the votes in any previous rounds so I didn't expect this at all. I started warming to Ross throughout the Donna storyline but he's just reverted back to same old since her death. I've given up trying to like him now, but clearly I'm in a very tiny minority because Ross is the WINNER of Digital Spy's Favourite Character 2015 competition! Congratulations to him and his fans! He's taken on 72 other characters and trounced them all. Well deserved!
So the bottom line is you have to be male, sort of good looking and a criminal to triumph on this poll. I should have included Smugden in that.

Good results. Some I agree with, some I don't. Ross earned his placing by his excellent work during the Donna saga.

Disappointed Marlon wasn't lower.

And a massive THANKS YOU to Reserved for all the hard work. It's much appreciated.

Interesting list - a nice mix of characters in there! Mine is much more dull and I tend to go for the 'nicer' characters than the controversial, marmite ones.

1. Charity
2. Nicola
3. Bernice
4. Victoria
5. Val
6. Belle
7. Leyla

Then any three of Jimmy/Finn/Rodney/Rhona/Vanessa/Harriet/Ashley/Priya/Rakesh/Katie/Kerry/Alicia/Gabby/Debbie/Brenda.

Yes, I cheated and picked half the cast, but I can't separate them. Different days, different episodes, different scenes changes my opinion of those outside my top seven Sometimes, even the likes of Ross, Cain and Laurel sneak up there, but I tell myself to stop being silly.

Overall, a solid cast on Emmerdale; even those I dislike I can appreciate are good characters - or most of them, anyway
I agree and that's why ED is my favourite soap because I like most of the cast. There's only two I really hate; Jai and Marlon and some I don't actively hate but wish they'd go; Ali, Ruby, Rachel, Sam, Tracy and then a few I don't mind but wouldn't be overally bothered if they left; Doug, Megan, Georgia and James. The rest of the cast I like

Swap Georgia for David (and put him in the hate pile) and I'm pretty much in agreement with you!

I'm actually disappointed at how Charity didn't make the Top 5, she's made Emmerdale AMAZING for 2014 in my opinion

I'm VERY happy that Ross won though

Oh bugger, sorry Reserved I completely forgot about this and thanks for all your work on it.

Take a deep breath and attempt to count to ten calmly...1...2...3...no I can't, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH I'm too annoyed....

Actually scrap that, I am completly INCANDESCENT WITH RAGE that that thieving, vandalising, brutish, lowlife, scumbag, criminal, thuggish, greasy, smarmy, nasty, arrogant, up himself, cocky, thoroughly unpleasant tosspot Ross has beaten the uttererly fabulous wonderful Cain. UTTER BOLLOCKS I am SEETHING. Bloody seething, I could boil a saucepan on my face I'm also stuck on my chair for fear of putting my foot through the floor when I s̶t̶a̶m̶p̶ ̶o̶n̶ ̶i̶t̶ er, step on it DAMN YOU Ross Barton. Damn you to to Hell. Still at least Aaron didn't win. Now THAT would not have gone down well. At all.

If Aaron's worse than Ross, then it was definitely in everyone's best interest that he didn't win! Especially yours

Damnit, I forgot about this too!

Dross first? Say what?

Well done to Cain on coming second.

And many thanks to Reserved for doing this again, it was a lot of fun, (well till the result anyway).

31 [17] Edna Birch - 6.69% Round 2
Ranking History (10-20-17-31)


Edna doesn't just fall out of the top 20 for the first time, but the top 30 Edna's had a decent amount of screen time this year so this ranking surprises me. Her past crept back up on her in the form of Lawrence, she had a part to play with Aaron and Belle trashed her house - so I'm not quite sure why her popularity's took a dip. She's shown us a bit of vulnerability this year which was nice to see, as usually she's very cold.
This makes me a little sad as the actress died, maybe deserves a little 'gone but not forgotten' mention like at the oscars

amazing how good this list is - thank you
