More results coming up at 8

Nice to see the crap Roscoes are out and the three decent ones still in.

Ok so kicking off the next set of results is...

28 [32] = Tom Cunningham = 10.08% (Round 2)
Ranking History (35-40-44-32-28)
Next up Tom continues to climb the rankings and hits a 5 year high and enters the top 30 for the first time. It's funny to say that Tom is one of the longest serving characters in the show and has seen off more parents/ guardians than some have had hot dinners. For a massive while I don't think the show knew how to write for Tom as he was at a difficult age - not quite teen enough or young enough, however now he's hooked up with Peri and is becoming much more heavily involved in things. Tom also has the privilege of being Sienna's first kidnap victim, however they're ten a penny now.

27 [29] = Joe Roscoe = 10.22% (Round 2)
Ranking History (X-X-X-29-27)
Joe takes a two place climb up the rankings this year, with 2015 starting off fairly badly for the character. He believes his punch killed Rob and he found out that his wife has been sleeping with his brother. Joe is pretty much an ordinary bloke and for me at times comes across as a little bit dull; but I guess Hollyoaks needs characters like Joe to actually give it some form of grounding from the OTT, who's been killed this week? type storylines that seem to be driving the show.

26 [16] = Sinead O'Connor = 10.48% (Round 2)
Ranking History (21-45-50-16-26)
Sinead falls 10 places this year and to be honest I've never seen the fuss with the character and really I just find her awful. Stephanie Davis is a good actress, but the character is just horrific; yes they've tried to make Sinead likeable by pairing her with Ste and the death of her child too turning her into a victim against her mum/ the rest of the family who thought she was mad. But she's just a horrific bully, a slag and just kind of irredeemable for me - the Esther storyline kind of did that for me. I know she has some diehard fans, but I just can't stand her (sorry).

25 [17] = Patrick Blake = 11.59% (Round 2)
Ranking History (X-X-33-17-25)
Another unlikeable character next as Patrick drops 8 places and back out the top 20. Patrick was a wonderfully sinister character when he first came into the show. However a couple of years down the line and all he does these days is kidnap people and tie them to radiators. The domestic abuse storyline was actually really good; yes it ripped a fair amount from the Little Mo/ Trevor storyline however the subsequent aftermath has been balls. The writers clearly have run out of ideas for both him and Sienna and outside of the weekly kidnapping I just find Patrick has little left to offer the show. Really it would've been good had the abuse fully came out and Patrick was actually arrested and Maxine had proper justice... but justice is a funny old thing in the village.

24 [34] = Phoebe McQueen = 11.61% (Round 2)
Ranking History (X-X-08-34-24)
Next up Phoebe takes a 10 place climb up the rankings after her massive fall the year before. Two years ago during the whole homeless stuff/ her pairing with Jacqui she was riding high in popularity. Since she has had been pretty quiet apart from the whole Vincent nonsense. Since his departure she has hooked up with Robbie and he has in a lot of ways bought her character into a different area. Both are fiesty characters and therefore they are a good dynamic, hopefully 2015 will give Phoebe more chances to shine.

23 [NE] = Kim Butterfield = 11.71% (Round 2)
Ranking History (X-X-X-X-23)
At 23 is the second highest new entry in the form of Lindsey's sister Kim. Kim enterred the show during the naff siege set of episodes and has since enterred into a relationship with other fellow lesbian Esther. We've seen hints at something occurring between her and Joe and as she is a relatively new character i'm guessing she has heaps of skeletons in her closet so it will be good to see how she develops.

22 [09] = Tony Hutchinson = 11.93% (Round 2)
Ranking History (16-21-11-09-22)
Tony drops from an all time high position in the top 10 last year to his lowest ranking to date. It's probably because the character has been a massive **** over the past year after embarking on an affair with Sinead in the run up to his wedding with Diane. However this year Tony's son has been re-introduced into the show as a regular character so hopefully he should breathe life back into the character. Tony has been around since the beginning and I'm guessing is there for life... or until he is axed so hopefully the character can be turned around once more.

21 [31] = Frankie Osborne = 12.68% (Round 2)
Ranking History (23-28-27-31-21)
Next up Frankie takes a climb of 10 places to an all time high position, however just misses short of enterring the top 20. She is now the longest serving female character and is a veteran by Hollyoaks standards. We've seen over the years Frankie take some interesting stances in her parenting skills, particularly throughout Esther's bullying storyline and also when she had an affair with Ruby's boyfriend Ziggy. Her and Jack have overcome a fair few obstacles over the years and it's good to see them still together. Hopefully 2015 will bring more Osborne greatness to the show; as a family unit they've done well this year, with all bar one character rising.

20 [21] = Leela Lomax = 12.72% (Round 2)
Ranking History (X-X-X-21-20)
Leela takes a 1 place climb up the rankings and means she is no longer the highest ranked Lomax. She's had an interesting year what with her parents dying in a hit and run by her ex boyfriend, revealed that she is the mother of Peri and had numberous trysts with Ziggy. She's the head of the Lomax clan now and with things still unresolved regarding her parents and other bombshells surrounding Tegan and Peri 2015 will no doubt be a big year for Leela

19 [33] = Holly Cunningham = 12.72% (Round 2)
Ranking History (X-X-52-33-19)
Holly takes another big climb up the rankings to her best placing to date and enters the top 20 for the first time. I think it's fair to say that since Amanda Clapham took over the role of Holly the character has become much more involved and developed. Wallis Day who previously played her I think was just cast incorrectly and would've been fine had she been at un, however putting her into the role of a 15/16 year old was slightly ridiculous. Anyway Holly has had a big year being on the sidelines of the Jason storyline and Cindy being committed into a mental asylum, I'm sure 2015 will be just as big.

18 [25] = Tegan Lomax = 13.39% (Round 2)
Ranking History (X-X-X-25-18)
Tegan takes a 7 place climb to inside the top 20 and she is another who's had a big year (it's all go at the Lomaxes). Not only have her parents died, she's also given birth, fallen in love with Ziggy, diagnosed with cancer again and found out her child was swapped at hospital with one of Diane's. And the sh!t has still got to hit the fan from alot of those storylines so 2015 will no doubt be even more packed and traumatic for the poor cow.

17 [NE] = Celine McQueen = 13.39% (Round 2)
Ranking History (X-X-X-X-17)
Celine was the wildcard entrant into round 2 and was actually close to making it into the semi finals. She debuts into the top 20 and is also the highest new entry this year. I like the character of Celine as she is different from the average McQueen (ie loud mouth slapper). We've seen her have some good moments with Jason and also she is in the frame to be the hospital killer. Hopefully the character is given more to do in 2015 and with her mum due to debut on the show I'm sure as a McQueen Kirkwood will find plenty of storylines for her.

Ranking Recap

17 [NE] = Celine McQueen = 13.39% (Round 2)
18 [25] = Tegan Lomax = 13.39% (Round 2)

Next batch of results in a bit

more results coming in 5

16 [18] = Jason Roscoe = 9.96% (Semi Final)
Ranking History (X-X-X-18-16)
Jason takes a two place climb and retains his top 20 position this year, however due to Robbie's rise he is the second highest ranked of the Roscoe boys. Jason's main storyline has been bubbling away since his debut on the show and has come much more to the surface in recent months which has seen him take drugs to change his body. I think the body dysmorphia storyline has been handled pretty well aas we've seen Jason struggle to accept his problem. He's had a couple of good scenes with Celine and I like his relationship with Holly too. Alfie Browne-Sykes is also incredibly easy on the eye, so hopefully 2015 will see Jason coming to terms with his body... whilst with his top off.

15 [RE] = Myra McQueen = 10.10% (Semi Final)
Ranking History (11-16-10-X-15)
Myra is a re-entry this year and is the highest place character who wasn't on the rankings in 2014. Last time we saw Myra on here she'd seemingly been shot, however that was all just a cunning ploy and she was in fact wearing a bulletproof jacket. Since her return Myra has become firmly embroiled in the McQueen's shenanigans and interfering in her families lives. Myra is a bit of a staple of the show now and whilst I do think the character is possibly past it's best, the older characters (for the most part) play an important role in the show and it's funny that the majority of the older characters this year have all taken significant rises.

14 [01] = Nancy Osborne = 10.42% (Semi Final)
Ranking History (06-07-07-01-14)
Next up, last years winner who takes a 13 place fall down the rankings; as you can see for the past 4 years Nancy has been one of the few characters who has always been top 10... not this year. So where did it all go wrong for Nancy; probably turning her into a very weak, lying drug addict for starters. Nancy struggled in the votes in every group she was in this year and barely made it through to the semi finals, I hope that she manages to improve as a character throughout 2015 and we see her return to her former glory. No doubt a full on secret relationship will be on the cards for her and Robbie, but I guess we've just got to wait and see how her character changes/ improves.

13 [02] = Sienna Blake = 10.77% (Semi Final)
Ranking History (X-X-29-02-13)
And following on from last years winner, is last years runner up Sienna who takes an 11 place slide down the rankings and back out of the top 10. Sienna was such a great villain when she was first introduced, now I just find her tiresome and boring. Yes, she's a psycho who loves to kidnap people and tie them to radiators for a laugh, but seriously the repetition of the character is beyond the joke. I hope things change in 2015 and either she bows out gracefully or her character adapts/ improves. She could've been a great well remembered short term villain (Saskia Eastenders), however she is passed her best now (like Patrick) and things need to change up a bit.

12 [04] = Ste Hay = 11.24% (Semi Final)
Ranking History (03-05-04-04-12)
Another massive drop out of last years top 10 for Ste, who slides down 8 places and drops out of the 5 for the first time. Like Nancy, Ste was a staple ingredient of the final for 4 years, however this year it seems people have grown tired of him. Long gone are the Stendan days... or even the Stug days... now he's married to JP, diagnosed with HIV and with a drug problem. Again I do feel like Ste is passed his glory days and it's probably going to be different to top the Ste/ Brendan relationship, however I do feel that constantly shoving him with every newly come out or returned gay character to the village is a bit of a mistake. Kieron Richardson is clearly in the show for the long haul and I guess every character has their ups and downs, so hopefully 2015 will be more of an up for Ste and he regains his former popularity.

11 [24] = Trevor Royle = 11.55% (Semi Final)
Ranking History (X-X-X-24-11)
Trevor climbs 13 places and just misses out on a position in this years final/ top 10. We've seen Trevor develop a lot more since his debut as stock gangster baddie and his relationship with Grace has actually become interesting to watch as a result. Early this year also seen the entrance of Trevor's son Dylan who adds an extra dimension to the character, as does the Esther surrogate plotline which is also ongoing. Yes there are still the silly gangster plot lines, which for some reason producers thing viewers enjoy, however he has been given more of a personality and depth which has helped the character over the last year. 2015 should bring us lots more Trevor action especially with Dylan's introduction bringing out a different side to the character.
