The way the dead screeching harridan is being shoehorned into every episode it's probably likely

Anyone but Mick to win! I honesltly wish Mick would be axed and killed off. He gets more and more annoying.

I think that's a sound prediction, I said the same last year when I knew she was returning

Lee Carter takes the lead as Phil and Kush cross the 100 mark.

Lee & Whitney win November.

Nice to see Lee and Whit win a month.

I do like Lee but I would much rather see Jay win a month or two he's so underused

It's good to see the overall spread to be a lot better. It still continues to make me sad that Lee is going though as I genuinely think he has really developed now he's being invested in. There are still some characters that I think deserve to be higher; Steven, Jay, Kush, Martin and Denise (IMO). Though it is nice to see Denise and Jay having had a much stronger year!

Louise numbers are pretty high considering she only did a few episodes in January and didn't return till April so she is consistently in it now. Bex numbers quite high as well.

Both of these two will be well over 100 episodes in 2017. I always feel over 100 episodes is the sign of big characters.

Jacqueline Jossa still surprisingly low considering she has been back over 6 months now

Probably highest Whitney has ever been as she always had to play second fiddle to Lauren before

If you discount the toddlers eastenders seems to be working with just about 39 regular characters

With Max returning at Christmas, Ronnie, Roxy, Babe and Lee either gone or very close to it as well as Linda disappearing temporarily I suspect a Branningfest in the first three months of 2017 Lauren is the only Branning out of the three we know to be definitely on screen come January that I like (Not including Dot I love her but she's a Cotton in my eyes)

6/12: Donna -1, 8/12: Lily +1, 9/12: Jack -1.

Lee leads with four episodes to go.

Full house for Louise in December , I noticed both her and bex have become very prominent under the new producer

Yep. I like Both characters and it's great they're being used. Really warmed to Louise recently.

I hope Lee wins this year.

Dead Kathy is near the top yet has done absolutely nothing of note other than schreeching at people and sticking her unwanted nose in

Love Kathy

Thanks

No accounting for taste

The Carters and Kathy near top

May as well crown Mick now and for next year, 2018, 2019 and 2020 too. Boring Mick.

and before anyone says the "he runs the Vic blar blar", only one previous landlord has won the count (Alfie back in 2003). So they don't have to always appear.

I think it's a real shame that Steven is so low. Loads of potential for his return but it's a bit flat for me at the minute.

Provisional Result.

Mick has appeared in every episode this month but Lee is the winner of the 2016 count by one episode!


2016 Top 10 Predictions:
Mattehhhftw, dullagj2 & Adrian: 6
Bertypop & Aaron_Silver: 5
joe gillott: 4

Mattehhhftw was the only person to predict Lee would finish in the top 10!

I knew it would be Lee when I saw this a couple weeks ago

Same and it's a welcome change. Mick needs less screen time. As terrible as the storyline is with Lee letting thise scum rob his family and almost kill Ollie and terrify his family...

I still rather see ANYONE but Mick first. He has won too many in a row.

Thanks Mr D. Never thought Lee would win.

It's been a really high count this year.
