I have decided to do a little survey on who people really like in EE (past and present). The legends will be split into 3 categories and all you have to do is say if you agree with me or not. You can also make suggestions of your own.

Past legends:
Dennis Rickman
Grant Mitchell
Den Watts
Cindy Beale

Steve Owen
Angie Watts
Sharon Watts
Mark Fowler
Johnny Allen
Frank Butcher

Current legends (meaning those who are still in it)
Ricky Butcher
Max Branning
Phil Mitchell
Pat Evans
Ian Beale
Dot Cotton
Bianca Jackson
Tanya Branning
Stacey Slater
Janine Butcher

Joke Legends
Mickey Miller
Spencer Moon
Winston
Barry Evans
Ronnie Ferreria
Gus Smith
Sonia Fowler
Keith Miller
Masood Ahmed
Patrick Trueman

I don't think Tanya is... yet. She needs a few more years and a better storyline.

I think legends are characters who stand up on their own, regardless of storyline.

For current characters...taking out the older characters who are legends (Ian, Pat, Peggy, Dot), I think the characters who have the most potential of being legends in future are:

Jane
Max
Stacey
Bradley
Christian
Shirley

I'm not sure. You never know what can happen.
