Final group of round two, and I'm loving the comments and discussion going on as we get closer to the business end of the series. It's great to get opinion on the characters and why you chose them, opening up debate on characters that sometimes don't get the light shined on them in the main forum. Keep it up folks

Pretty bog standard round. No shocks, surprises, well except the bafflingly high volume of votes propelling Kevin Wicks to just outside our top 8. He was a dreadful character best forgotten in my opinion, but hey, you didn't vote him in so I guess some of you must agree at least. On a positive note, what a wonderful top three...

Group Five Results
01 | Ian Beale – 85.7%
02 | Stacey Branning – 80.4%
03 | Dot Branning – 78.6%
04 | Denise Fox – 75.0%
05 | Bradley Branning – 69.6%
06 | Patrick Trueman – 66.1%
07 | Tanya Cross – 53.6%
08 | Charlie Cotton – 41.1%
------------------------------------
09 | Kevin Wicks – 33.9%
10 | Emma Summerhayes – 26.8%
== | Dean Wicks – 26.8%
12 | Glenda Mitchell – 25.0%
13 | Dawn Swann – 19.6%
14 | Minty Peterson – 17.9%
15 | Martin Fowler – 16.1%
== | Sam Mitchell – 16.1%
== | Mandy Salter – 16.1%
18 | Jase Dyer – 14.3%
19 | Sonia Fowler – 12.5%
20 | Bobby Beale – 7.1%

I liked Minty. Boo.

Now things get serious. You've knocked out 180 characters to make your top 40, and over the next week you'll be tasked with getting them down to just 16. As always, you'll be voting for your eight favourites and more than half will be cut. This is where it gets brutal, and interesting!

Nearly cut Peggy, until I realised I still had Charlie Cotton kicking around. EastEnders has a wonderful history of strong women, and I think this is probably going to be represented in the final numbers...

You can't not include the longest running character, particularly after Woodyatt's performances within the last year. Frank Butcher was a one of a kind character and Mike Reid was a one of a kind type of bloke so I had to put him in there. Phil and Ronnie went in next for me, Phil again is a legend while Ronnie is perhaps one of my all time favourites. Sharon meanwhile is one of my old favourites. On the last few years she probably wouldn't get in but for her early 00's era and Sharongate period, she has to be there. Mick for me is a legend in the making and providing Dyer stays the course, I'm pretty sure he will be - but based on the last year alone, I'd include him regardless. Lauren Branning has come along so much since her alcoholic storyline that she's barely recognizable from the stroppy teenager who bunked up with her cousin, so she deserves a spot in there for me! Her mother meanwhile is not everyones cup of tea but I love her, which is why Tanya finishes off my 8.

It's so tough leaving out Jane, Bradley, Grant, Denise, Roxy and Patrick but it had to be done.

It's telling that of our ten winners, the only male has been eliminated. The next group's got even more strong females than this one - Pat, Carol, Janine, Kathy...the list goes on. Think we could be surprised though.

You can't not include the longest running character, particularly after Woodyatt's performances within the last year. Frank Butcher was a one of a kind character and Mike Reid was a one of a kind type of bloke so I had to put him in there. Phil and Ronnie went in next for me, Phil again is a legend while Ronnie is perhaps one of my all time favourites. Sharon meanwhile is one of my old favourites.

Her mother meanwhile is not everyones cup of tea but I love her, which is why Tanya finishes off my 8.

It's so tough leaving out Jane, Bradley, Grant, Denise, Roxy and Patrick but it had to be done.
Sharon has so redeemed herself. It's wonderful to see, and in such a different way to last time. They brushed with the camp diva stuff we've seen before, but we're getting a new tough matriarchal Sharon now, which I love.

Love this poll and it's very competitive because I love the majority of the characters.
Glad to hear you like it. I like running it because you realise how you really feel about the characters, in a positive way. Criticism is the very nature of the forum, so it's good to see people celebrating what they're actually liking for once - and the winner is almost always different, which is what I love most.
