Ok, I'm going to do it in countdown style (The way cheeks did it in the BB Forum). I won't go into too much detail but here goes....

37th (64 pts)

Charlie Slater

Charlie arrived in 2000 with his noisy family consisting of his 4 daughters and his mother-in-law. He has had one romance during his five years in Albert Square, with Peggy Mitchell. Unfortunately for Charlie, it turned out to be unrequited and was heartbroken when she announced her engagement to brother Harry - This engagement was broken off when it was revealed Harry had raped Charlie's daughter Kat at the age of 14 resulting in Zoe being born. Previously, Charlie was married to wife Viv up until her death before the family's arrival.

36th (74 pts)

Naomi Julien

Naomi arrived last week as a friend of Sonia's, she's yet to have a storyline but looks promising. She is currently living with Dot & Jim.

35th (76 pts)

Gus Smith

Gus arrived in 2002 and briefly had a relationship with Sonia. His brother Juley arrived a few months later and they've both hardly done anything since decorating the Brannings house. When Robbie Jackson left for India, Gus took up the responsibility of Wellard - A dog who get's more storylines than he does. He sweeps the market every now and again, blink and you'll miss him.

34th (100 pts)

Peter Beale

Peter was born 1993, in the show. Hs mother, Cindy died 5 years later while he now lives with dad Ian, twin sister Lucy and half brother Bobby. Recently, he's made friends with Darren Miller and is starting to get storylines at the age of 11.

33rd (109 pts)

Lucy Beale

Peter's twin Lucy is also just starting to become a character. Lucy hasn't got any friends right now but that could well change.

32nd (125 pts)

Martin Fowler

Born in 1985, Martin was EastEnders first baby. While most of his family have either died or left, mum Pauline has stayed put. In 2002, Martin knocked down and killed Jamie Mitchell, he went to prison for six months coming out a new man in mid 2003. Martin married Jamie's fiance Sonia in June 2004.

31st (133 pts)

Tina Stewart

Arriving in March this year, Tina was promised to turn heads. She hasn't. New producer Kate Harwood axed her and she leaves later this year.

30th (142 pts)

Little Mo Mitchell

The mouse-like Little Mo arrived with the rest of the Slater clan in September 2000 and just seemed timid to start off. 3 months in, her violent husband Trevor came looking for Mo. She almost instantly took him back and Trevor kept on beating her, On New Years Eve 2001 Mo had had enough and hit him over the head with an iron - Little Mo was charged with attempted murder and spent 2 months in prison. Just 2 months after her release, Trevor again came looking for her and the result was 2 deaths at the Slater house. That was her only successful storyline, she now insists on torturing us by way of her affair with Alfie Moon. She was also raped for a second time and had Freddie.

29th (147 pts)

Keith Miller

Keith has so far spent almost a year on Albert Square, having storylines such as illiteracy, fraud and of course daughter Demi's pregnancy and recent drug taking. I personally am finally warming to Keith and the Millers.

28th (153 pts)

Mickey Miller

A 2 week stint in 2003 as Mo Harris' dodgy dealing supplier led to a regular part and a whole family. He was obviously popular to begin with but it looks like that popularity has faded since the rest of the Millers arrived placing him in 28th.

27th (154 pts)

Darren Miller

14 year old Darren has yet to have his own storyline but has shown great potential when playing a part in others.

26th (160 pts)

Sonia Fowler

Arriving in 1993, Sonia is one of few characters to have grown up on the Square. Sonia's first big storyline came 7 years later when she gave birth to baby Chloe and decided adopting her out was the best course of action. Since then, Sonia has been engaged to the late Jamie Mitchell and married to Martin Fowler - Chloe's father.

25th (161 pts)

Garry Hobbs

When we first saw Garry, he was the Jack-the-lad boyfriend of Lynne Slater. Garry has since married and divorced Lynne, slept with Laura Beale and last year he and Lynne lost their unborn baby. Garry is now managing 'Beale's Wheels' and has moved in with best friend and workmate Minty Peterson.

24th (163 pts)

Billy Mitchell

Billy has undergone a character reinvention during his six years on Albert Square. Going from violent uncle to loving husband it's almost unbelievable, Billy married Little Mo in 2002 but split in 2003 after she was raped for a second time. He tried to be a father to Little Mo's son Freddie but Billy just couldn't. Eventually, Billy did come around but it was too late for Mo as she was already cheating with Alfie Moon.

23rd (164 pts)

Patrick Trueman

Patrick turned up on the Square on the day of wife Audrey's funeral. Never knowing Patrick, Paul doubted whether he was realy their father. When the tests came back, it was revealed Patrick was not Paul's father but was Anthony's.
Soon after Anthony left the square and was replaced by a new face - Yolande. Patrick and Yolande grew closer over time and married in 2004, they shut down the B&B and bought the Minute Mart. Now getting over the loss of son Paul, they spend their days in the shp in which they run with the help of Stacey Slater.

22nd (168 pts)

Mo Harris

Mo arrived on the Square in 2000, a month later delivering Sonia's baby Chloe. With her dodgy dealings and hatred for Pat, she has certainly made an impression. I'm actually quite surprised by her disappointing performance in this poll.

21st (176 pts)

Ian Beale

As one of two remaining original characters, Ian has certainly seen his fair share of storylines. In 20 years, Ian has been married 3 times, had 3 biological kids, one adopted, made money and lost everything. His dad's dead his mum's in South Africa and has a half brother by his worst enemy - Ian's life on Walford defanately hasn't been an easy ride.

20th (177 pts)

Minty Peterson

Arriving in 2002, Minty was originally a nasty vile individual who was friends with Phil and landlord to Janine. He has since had an unrequited love for Sam and a complete character turn-around.

I'msurprise how low sonia/ martin/ little mo are and how highup gary is

19th (180 pts)

Yolande Trueman

Apart from marying Patrick last year, she's had no other big storylines That's a shame since she's such a good character.

I'm not. Sonia is a great character and Natalie Cassidy is a good actress, but I think there's only a limited number of storylines revolving around Sonia being miserable and her wanting Chloe back, that viewers can handle, before they become sick of Sonia.

There are way too many characters in Eastenders - 37! They need to get rid of a few hangers-on, like Gus.

18th (183 pts)

Rosie Miller

Nearly a year in and in my opinion the best Miller member has got 18th place.

17th (195 pts)

Johnny Allen

Johnny Allen, who arrived in January has proved immensely popular as the new ganster on the block. He, along with girlfriend Tina will be leaving the show.

Poor old Charlie. beaten by a poor actress who obly started a couple of weeks ago.

How come Kat and Alfie have not yet been mentioned.
