I gave Ann Mitchell 9 not 5 :D

I think 10th is a really good result for Kellie. I'd class her in the good but not great category, she'd have just missed out on my personal top 10.

Sorry about that. I've been a bit error prone with some of the scores!

No problem, you're doing a great job. Even though I don't agree with a few of the rankings it's been really interesting reading :thumbsup:

There's quite a few that I don't agree with either, I do have a personal list 1-54 which I'll post at the end. I think overall the scores have caught the general opinion though, if there is such a thing.

Sad to see Kellie go so early in the top 10.

8th













































8: DIANE PARISH
Average: 9.08


Posted Image

Highest Score: 11 (lennon, MrSunshine, *Betty*, Zachary)
10 (Mitchells 42, Mr. Right, MrJames, Cam, Planck, Elle, Jin, TellyAddict, Jade, ThingsDie, weewoman, King Billy, Gangstress, Shamelessness, Blokeoptimistic, NevermindMe)
Lowest Score: 5 (holly)
Character Average: 8.1
Character Result: 3rd

Diane is a real asset to the show, she is loyal, consistent, and downright brilliant. I actually think she's one of the most underrated actresses on the programme. Certainly to casual fans anyway, I don't think she'd get named among the best in the show, but she's comfortably made the top ten here. She's under the radar because her character doesn't get too many storylines, and she isn't a big name either. I think though that she's one of the best actresses and characters - a very real character. To get four scores of 11 is very impressive, along with a hatful of 10s. A few low scores coat her, she could easily have been 6th or 7th. I really do hope we see a big storyline for Denise, she needs to be surrounded by better actors than Richard Blackwood and Tameka Empson, especially when it's not long since most of her scenes were with Adam Woodyatt, Rudolph Walker and Laurie Brett. Parish is brilliant and EE need to make sure she stays.

Mr. Right: Understated and brilliant.
*Betty*: My star. Diane has never put in a dud performance in her life. She just captures Denise in every performance. Whether she is drowning her sorrows in a bottle of wine in the Vic, or locked in a cellar with her kids thinking she is dead, I am there in that moment with Denise, like she is my own mother or something. Diane nails comedy, drama and anything else they want to throw at her. But yet, feels so normal.
Jin: deserves better storylines.
Mitchells 42: Nothing left to prove. One of the best actors employed by the show.
Jade: Very close between her and Coulson as to who to give the 11 to.
MrSunshine: Obvious choice for 11 but I can't point out a false note. Perfect characterisation. Clearly understands her character. The audience long to see more of Denise and that's because when Diane is given the chance to shine she GLOWS. Flawless performer.
Cam: Best actress on the show. Sorry Lindsay!
Allegra: Diane Parish is brilliant but sadly underused. As with the other top actresses on Eastenders she has wonderful comedic line delivery to go along with her excellent dramatic skills.
TaintedRose: Easily one of EE’s strongest.
Blades' Receptionist: Diane is fabulous.
Mrs Peel: Feature her, not Kim. She's better than the straight man to Tameka Empson. What happened to Denise's drink issues?
Elle: Fantastic actress, a joy to watch, needs more screen time!
Zachary: Top notch actress, I could watch her all day. Anything she is given she completely tackles and slays, i love her!
weewoman: cannot help to root for her always, in every scene, and it is most certainly not the writing.
MrJames: My TV couldn't handle the acting quality in that scene between Diane and Lindsey in the Vic toilets back in January. Diane is perfect in every single way and she's still delivering performances that knock me out. Amazing, amazing, amazing.
King Billy: Smoking hot and capable of any storyline.
















































7th















































7: JAKE WOOD
Average: 9.17


Posted Image

Highest Score: 11 (Cupcake, Blades' Receptionist, Sey)
10 (Daniel68, Mr. Right, MrJames, WalfordE20, Mrs Peel, Solar1808, Planck, lennon, TellyAddict, MrSunshine, Jade, ThingsDie, *Betty*, TaintedRose, WalfordCommon, See You Slater, Shamelessness, Allegra, NevermindMe, Katie)
Lowest Score: 6 (Zachary)
Character Average: 7.31
Character Result: 6th

One of my favourite characters of all time being played by one of the best actors. Jake Wood is seriously talented. How can it be that after all these repetitive years, Max is still a great character? Jake Wood, that's how. Has such a great acting range. I really do hope he returns after his break, he'll be a huge miss to the show in his time out, but as an actor, he deserves something big. This is an actor who is way too good to be a bit part character. I really hope that his new projects allow him to showcase his full talent. Fantastic actor. And just look at all those 10s!

holly: going to be a big loss to the show, I think he's a great actor and has been great in all of his big storylines.
Allegra: Jake Wood is such an excellent actor. My pick for the best male actor Eastenders has ever had. He deserves better material because I think he can do it all, and do it all in style. He makes everything look effortless. Has kept Max nuanced and interesting even when the writing has been bland and repetitive. Talent and charisma. I'd love to see him in a BBC drama series while he takes his break, I have feeling there's so much more to him than Max.
MrJames: He is absolute dynamite. He and Lindsey Coulson as brother and sister is an absolute dream.
Zachary: He's just always shouting recently lol.
Cam: Great but once again, not as good as many people think on here.
MrSunshine: Jake Wood can break your heart and then mend it again. Max is a horrendous human being but he's beloved. This is because Jake is so expressive that Max always remains a fully fuctioning 3 dimensional person.
Mrs Peel: Brilliant actor, but doesn't need repetitive scripts
weewoman: love to loath him, even though most of the storylines do not interest me at all
Blades' Receptionist: Jake is a phenomenal actor. I don't think any other actor could play a character that is so sleazy and horrible at times, but the viewers still love him. His emotional scenes are incredible.
Mr. Right: Don’t stay away for too long Jake!
TaintedRose: He can make me laugh, cry, and want to punch Max repeatedly in the face. That, to me, is what an actor should be.
Mitchells 42: I just couldn't bring myself to give him a 10 for some reason, he shouts a little too much for me. But very, very, very good.
*Betty*: Never has a duff day, Max feels like a neighbour or something.
See You Slater: He’s brilliant. He can be so unlikable and yet so loveable at the same time!
Jin: I don't see what everyone else does. Good hangdog expression though.

Jake's another who would have made my top 5 but I'm happy enough with this position.

Thank you for all the hard work you put into this Daniel, but I gave an 11 to Lacey not Jake.

I wouldn't usually nit-pick but I firmly stand by my number 11.

Ooh I wasn't expecting to see those two leave just yet. Diane especially I thought would be top five.

I was a little surprised too actually, it was a few low scores that cost both.

It's a tough pick but I'd say Rudolph is better than Diane and almost on par with Jake. His work in the past year has been particularly powerful and his performance after Paul died was heartbreaking.

Very surprised by those two. I assume the scores are very close in the top 10? 8th and 7th definitely are.
