Blanche! Ken Barlow has been a regular since 1960, but does he beat Fred Elliot?

Maybe. I suppose i would have included Dot Cotton in an Eastenders Poll. But she has had a few big storylines in between the comic relief. I'm not sure about Norris

How can Kirk be in that list without mention of the likes of Bet Lynch or Rita?

[Souwester]

Annie Walker!

How can you miss out the only real queen of the street?

Her double acts with both Bet Lynch (Gilroy, whatever) and Fred Gee were great.

Of today's characters I think my favourites have become Becky and Graeme. I've got a long list of characters who I'd like to see killed off next week (eg Dev - by far and away at the top of the list, Clare, Molly...)
