Most liked soap characters?
Obviously there will be some characters which won't be liked by certain fans, but in any soap, which past/present characters have been liked by a large majority of people.
Also, what are the reasons for them being a fan favourite? |

I can't stand her but Stacey seems to be the nation's sweetheart when it comes to Eastenders. A fair share of EE viewers simply adore her. The only place I hear mixed views about her is on here.

The ones I've heard most fans like (aka not many haters) are Pat, Grant, Sean, Tiffany or more recently Carmel, Denise, Jay.

Probably Carla Connor. I never used to mind her either, but find her overused and a complete bore with her constant problems.

EE-Tracey and Lady Di seem to be the only two that never get any criticisms on here.

I don't think Ian is that popular with the general public. Yeah the public felt sorry for him when Lucy died and especially Live Week but many people are annoyed with himletting Max go to prison.
I went on the official Facebook and twitter to see the reaction about Kathy's return and many people are really disliking Kathy . I love Kathy but I miss the strong and moralistic Kathy. I understand she has been manipulated by Gavin but she's not the "old" Kathy anymore. Gavin has changed Kathy . I want her back in the cafe soon where she belongs. It is truly great having Kathy Beale back

Social media isn't everything. A lot of us actually talk to each other about soaps face to face!!!

Even before she died, I doubt anyone criticised Deirdre on Corrie. In Emmerdale, people may find Chas dim but people seem unable to say they don't like her.

I was, and still am a huge fan of Angie Watts. She was THE ultimate pub landlady and nobody did drunk like she did absolutely classic, iconic character
