EastEnders: top 10 greatest characters?
As the title alludes, who are your top 10 favourite characters in the history of the show? In terms of personal favourites, not objectively speaking.

Most favourite at the top:
1. Steve Owen - I loved how charming and manipulative he was. I don't even see him as a villain, I always felt he played him quite sympathetically, but he definitely had a nasty edge. 2. Matthew Rose - Basically the Steve/Matthew/Saskia murder storyline was the best EE ever was, for me. I will always remember it, and I don't think EE will ever top it. 3. Johnny Carter - I'm sorry, I know he's not important in the history of EE but I adore him, and I hope the writing for him gets better because he has so much potential as a character. 4. Joe Wicks - I found his struggle with schizophrenia so powerful and it really taught me a lot about mental health from a very young age. 5. Tiffany Mitchell - She was so sweet and lovely and her death was beyond shocking. I remember hating Grant for the way he treated her! 6. David Wicks - Brilliant, charismatic and always very believable. I really hope the new producer can tempt him back. 7. Janine Butcher - One of the most complex villains in any soap, past or present. 8. Jamie Mitchell - I can't remember ever bawling so hard at a soap death. Lovely, lovely Jamie. ![]() 9. Pat Butcher - Absolutely iconic 10. Sharon Watts - Even though the writing for her at times is patchy, she's still brilliant and camp and EE wouldn't be half as fun without her. Honorable mentions: Dennis Rickman, Sean Slater, Kat Moon, Dot Cotton, Chrissie Watts, Mel Owen, Frank Butcher |

1) Den Watts
2) Phil Mitchell 3) Nick Cotton 4) Grant Mitchell 5) Kathy Beale 6) Pat Butcher 7) Ian Beale 8) Archie Mitchell 9) Max Branning 10) Frank Butcher I would have probably had Stacey Branning in there too but I just haven't been able to warm to her this stint. If she'd stayed gone, she'd have made the list easy. Same goes for Ronnie. It was extremely difficult to leave off Zainab Masood, Dot Branning, Jim Branning, Andy Hunter, Alfie Moon and Dennis Rickman as well so special mentions to them. |
