2. Tane Parata (2910 points): Rising four spots since the last poll, Tane Parata has secured the second place, coming within 150 points of Alf. His popularity has skyrocketed, and his presence on the show has become vital, replacing the void left by some of the older characters.
3. Cash Newman (1845 points): Cash Newman moves up seven places to claim third spot. The police officer, who’s sometimes a little less by-the-book than his colleagues, continues to captivate fans with his emotional and complex journey, especially following the tragic events surrounding his sister.
4. Felicity Newman (1488 points): Felicity, another standout character, climbs four places to reach fourth. Despite her recent departure from the show, her legacy lives on. Known for her strength and resilience, Felicity remains one of the most beloved characters in recent years.
5. Marilyn Chambers (1476 points): Marilyn may have dropped a spot, but she remains a fan favorite, holding onto her position in the top five. Her enduring popularity is a testament to her long history on the show, even though her storylines have become less central in recent times.
6. John Palmer (1412 points): Rising five places to crack the top 10, John Palmer is a dependable figure on Home and Away. While often the target of Alf’s sharp tongue, John’s kindness and wisdom make him one of the show’s elder statesmen. He’s always there to offer a listening ear to the younger characters.
7. McKenzie Booth (1368 points): McKenzie continues to rise in popularity, jumping seven places into the top 10. Her relationship with Levi, along with her growing bond with Tane and Marley, has earned her a place in fans’ hearts, despite some criticisms of her earlier storylines.
8. Eden Fowler (1118 points): A massive leap for Eden, who surged 28 places to join the ranks of the top 10. The end of her relationship with Cash, along with the challenges she’s faced, has earned her sympathy and admiration from viewers.
9. Dana Mat (1066 points): Dana has sparked mixed opinions among fans, but her quirky attitude and solid presence as a nurse have made her one of the more popular new characters. Her bond with Xander, and her ability to balance compassion with practicality, have earned her a loyal fan base.

11. Molly Hudson (887 points): Molly, who arrived after the last poll, quickly became a significant figure. Initially seen as a friend and business associate of Dean, Molly has grown into a more complex character, which has resonated with fans.
12. Levi Fowler (788 points): Levi, despite a controversial introduction, has proven his worth with fans. His rise in popularity is likely due to his consistent performances, his complicated relationships, and his role as a competent doctor on the show.

15. Leah Patterson (716 points): Leah drops out of the top 10, but she’s still a key character on the show. Her consistency and the emotional depth of her relationships have kept her in fans’ hearts, even though she hasn’t had as much screen time this year.
16. Remy Carter (653 points): Remy has seen a significant rise in the rankings, climbing from the lower part of the top 40 last time. His character development, including his relationships with the other main characters, has made him more relatable and appealing.
17. Daryl “Brax” Braxton (580 points): Brax has fallen out of the top 10 but remains a key figure in Home and Away. His legacy continues to influence the storyline, and while he hasn’t appeared this year, his impact is still felt in Summer Bay.
