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, Victor, Kristen, EJ, or even Lexie. I also think it is very telling that Sami isn't on the list.
Victor is in the TOP30.

Thanks Lysie! I guess we can schedule our next list for around Summer 2017 provided the show is still around.
It was renewed trough September 2017. So the show will still be there but who knows if it will have a future.

:facepalm: Sorry, I meant Tony. My first introduction to Thaao was as Victor Cassadine and so that has stuck with me ever since he first tried to freeze the world. :tounge:

The list isn't in order except for the first 4.

13 characters on my list made the cut. I chose 10 couples. Carrie made it, but Austin didn't.

My top three were Pete, Melissa and Jack followed by Jennifer. I often wished for Nate's paternity to be revealed. His last name is Horton, but why? Did Melissa meet up with Pete who fathered Nate? Or is Nate Jack's son? We may never know the answer, but I think that would be a good storyline.

If he's Jack's and Melissa let him sleep with his first cousin without telling him...I might need to hit her.

Looking at this list and comparing it to the last one, they're quite similar. I expected that the new teens and Abby would make the list this time around. The popularity of Chabby helped make Abby popular. The teens may be relatively new and sadly involved in bizarre, dark storylines, but they're the future of this show.

Abe, Sonny and Stephanie were the pleasant surprises on this list. Abe is like that family friend who is so close to your family that you treat him like family and can't imagine a family Christmas gathering without him. Stephanie's inclusion is somewhat interesting because she ended up higher than Theresa and Gabi. But, I can see how that might've happened. As a daughter of a supercouple, people want to see her be one of the show's leading heroines. And she's got so much unexplored potential. Also, it probably helps that Theresa is still hit or miss with most people and that Gabi is currently involved in a rather dull storyline. Six months ago, Gabi might have still had a shot at making Top 30. I'm still puzzled as to how Sonny is so popular, though.

A jarring difference between this list and the last one is the exclusion of Aiden. Did anybody even vote for him this time around?

The exclusion of EJami proves that this show is imaginable without them. Only a year ago, that might have been hard to believe. But, now that a whole year without them has gone by, it's clear that they're not the be-all and end-all of this show.

I'm not surprised not to see Kristen on the list. Her last few returns to the show were quite unsatisfactory. ED needs to take another long break from the show and make us want to long for her again.

Aiden had a vote or two but came nowhere near the list. I"m surprised there hasn't been more talk of Kate not being on the list. FWIW, Gabi is the one who tied with Sami for the next spot.

The votes have been counted. Over the next few days we'll be revealing a few at a time. Like last time, I'm not going to post them in exact order, but I am going to post them in groupings starting from the bottom. Keep in mind, this is the bottom of our TOP 30. More than 120 characters were nominated, and the show has had many more characters than that. Once everyone has been posted, I'll give some specific information about the votes.

Discuss!
Some I agree with some I don't

Stephanie, Belle, Carrie, Claire, & Theo don't do anything for me.

The rest, I would agree.

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%
surprised Jack was so low, and not surprised Lucas was so high, talk about underused.

Quoting limited to 3 levels deep Most likely...I think Bo and Hope will be our number 1 and 2!
...And Steve and Kayla
I think Hope will be lower than Marlena and Steve and Kayla. Many people are really annoyed with her lately. I know I am:)
I'm tired of her & annoyed with her too, but she will always be my #1 fave character.

WOW! I can't believe Kate and Sami are not in the list? How many votes did they get and how many votes did Rex and Cassie get? Just curious? Thanks.

I won't give exacts, but Sami was next in line (tied with Gabi) to make the list. Kate was in the top 50. Rex and Cassie were no where near making it.
