Out of all the characters DTC introduced who do you think is the strongest?
As per title, out of all the new, not recasts, characters DTC has introduced since he became EP in 2013 whice one do you think has been the strongest?
I'm actually going to say in my opinion it was Charlie Cotton, a character with lots of depth and played by an actor who was more than capable but then for what ever reason DTC axed the best character he had brought in and he left without even getting a proper exit. If it was so Jack Branning could return it was a huge oversight in my honest opinion. |

Kush,if we are talking about completely new characters.
He is a layered character, played by a good actor. |

Carmel,Kush, If more focus was on Vincent he could have become a great character.

I agree with you on Charlie SK. I really liked Yvonne too and it's a shame the new Cottons didn't stick around. Margaret was great but inevitably all her sizzling promise was squandered into being Kathy's dead body double.
![]() Aleks and Stan were good too. DTC and do deserve credit for that. I know you said not recasts but Shabs and Martin were surprisingly good. Ah if only they had kept that level of quality up. |

Re-introduced: Ben. What a fantastic character! Stacey and Kathy are dull, dull, dull.
Introduced: None. They have all been rubbish! Probably Mick but only because of Danny Dyer's popularity. Charlie was great, but he was (stupidly) axed. |

His best character was Stan but that was because Timothy West is a great Actor.

James Bye really has made the role of Martin his own- he is excellent in the role. |

I read the actor playing Aleks quit after a contract dispute. Anyone know what happened?

I haven't seen any of them fight to be certain, but Nancy certainly threw Olly across the kitchen with some upper body strength. She's probably set the bar there.

Nancy Carter.
Played by a strong actress and had a decent personality, and some quirks. They should have done more with her, no wonder she left. |

The Carters absolutely, regardless of how much screentime they get. Maybe except Lee and new Johnny. Mick, Linda, old Johnny, Nancy and Babe are great and began a great era (at the beginning) for DTC.
Vincent started off as a great character and towards the end of DTC's era, he suddenly become this weak, background star. He needed to keep his rivalry with the Mitchell's. Same with Claudette, such a dynamic character, but crazy writing and a mess of her backstory has messed this up. Shout out to Belinda, Aleks, Carmel and Kush. Also, I started off disliking the returns of Kathy and Stacey but their characters naturally fit their surroundings well, as does recast Martin. |

Aleks seemed to get the same treatment though And the new Martin has been good |

Digital Spy is a funny place. I remember everyone on here slating James Bye when he first appeared, calling him wooden and saying he couldn't act. Now look at everyone!
Stan Carter for me, with honourable mentions for Aleks, Nancy and Babe. Buster was great at first but it seemed like they quickly ran out of ideas for him and just shoved him on a stall and gave him this unbelievable Kathy affair storyline. I really like Belinda but they need to do something with her sharpish. |
