So happy to see Abby high on the list and all of the Deveraux family in the top 30.

Genetically speaking a full third (7) of the bottom 21 of the top 30 are Johnsons? Mama Jo did alright.

Somewhat interesting, but also not surprising that family members seemed to land in such organized groupings, for the most part. Kiriakises together towards the bottom-ish. Most of the Deveraux clan in the same group. Bradys.

I'll be interested to know how/why ranking our top 3 came into play. Were those votes weighted in some way? Or was that just more out of curiosity/for observational purposes?

I'm guessing the top 4 are Marlena, John, Steve, and Kayla. I'd be interested in seeing the order of that 4

They didn't affect this list. I'll give some info about that tomorrow. It was mostly curiosity.

I'm sure the remaining ones are obvious. I'll post them tomorrow, and then give some random info about the results. If anyone has any questions about specifics, let me know. I'm not going to give out the actual rankings and numbers of votes, but I'll give generals and little tidbits that I thought were interesting.

The last four will be the only ones in order, and that's only because of how their votes came out.

Final list has been posted. There was a tie in the top 4. I also moved Nicole to where she actually should have been on the list.

Are Steve and John the tie in the top 4? You'd think it would be a couple but I'm guessing Steve and John.

By my count there are only six characters on the list who are not either currently on the show or confirmed for a return - Bo, Eric, Jack, Carrie, Stephanie, and Sonny (I know Abby is leaving but the show is clearly intending to recast). And we know Sonny is coming back, just not for how long and the PR is not coming back. So that really leaves four out of 30.

It shows, IMO, a couple of things. First, that - in general - the cast is not the problem, even if the writing is not stellar for some of these folks. It also shows that core families are still core families.

Thanks for doing the list again, lysie.

Nope. It was Steve and Kayla. They are one of three couples to tie. The other two tied couples didn't make the list.

I think the most interesting takeaway from this list is, aside from Chad and Theo, there are no other DiMeras. None of the "Big Guns" made the cut. There's no Stefano, Andre, Tony, Kristen, EJ, or even Lexie. I also think it is very telling that Sami isn't on the list.





Edited to change Victor to Tony because thepadange is waaaay more observant than I am.

Sami was really close. REALLY close. She was tied with someone else to be the next person on the list. She wasn't tied with Stefano but he was also really close.

My guess is that one of the tied couples is Eugene and Calliope. I feel like you can't really have one without the other.

Yes! They were tied with each other...and also Theresa, lol. I don't remember everyone's exact number of votes from last time, but I think Theresa had about the same. (of course, even this time the votes could be off by a little.


The biggest take away for me was that the first time there were three women (Marlena, Hope, Nicole) who absolutely destroyed everyone else, but were pretty much neck and neck the entire time (and I don't remember who actually ended up having the most votes of the three). This time, Marlena did that all on her own, and her votes increased by about 50%. Hope had around the same amount of votes, and Nicole lost about 25%. This could be partially because I did have you all choose more character this time, increasing votes for everyone, but I think it also goes to show how much story can affect things.

I think it's about what's going on right now.

Hope certainly would've placed higher, but she just killed Stefano in cold blood, then instead of coming clean, framed somebody so she could get away with it. It was one thing to kill him, another to frame someone for the deed. Even if it was Andre.

That would certainly affect some votes.

Nicole's been going on and on about Daniel since New Years, and Daniel's polarizing...many hate him and are just tired of hearing his name. So that probably affected her position.

Bo...I didn't vote for him only because he's dead, and Peter doesn't want to be on the show anymore. So I figured I'd give that vote to someone else. But on a different day, if I thought Peter wanted to be back?

Thanks Lysie! I guess we can schedule our next list for around Summer 2017 provided the show is still around.

I think story definitely had an impact on this list. I used to like both Hope and Nicole and now I can't stand either one and didn't vote for them. On the other hand, I love that Marlena is number 1. Please give her a story of her own Days!!

Here's some of the stats of the top 3. The percentages are how many of their votes included them in the top 3. These are the ones that stood out. If you have questions about specifics, let me know. There may be some with fewer votes and fewer spots in the top 3 that have higher percentages.

Marlena - 50%
Bo - 35%
Steve - 34%
Kayla - 34%
John - 27%
Lucas - 25%
Hope - 24%
Nicole - 22%
Eric - 19%
Jack - 17%
Jennifer - 12%
