Thanks @jcar03 Apart from the stories themselves that Top 10 is problematic for me. It's great to have long running charcters but should they be dominating the top spots after decades.

Where are the new characters who are not burdened with years of story behind them.

There needs to be a better mix of old and new. Watching the traumas of Sharon, Victor's schemes etc for the 100th time is not good soap.

They had a chance with Billy Flynn to bring in a new character but instead lumbered him with Cane.

Reed, Faith, Fen should be leading stories by now and a few vets shown the door or backburnered.
