July 4, 20205 yr Author I had forgotten about her myself but I like to see random minor characters appearing at this stage.
July 4, 20205 yr I thought she was "cute" but there's no way she should be above Mick, Alfie and Michael (to name just a few.)
July 4, 20205 yr Poppy was good, I thought they were right to bring her back after axing her, it's nice to some light relief characters mixed in,
July 4, 20205 yr Soz, I loved Poppy. She was prominent during the period I watched EE religiously. Iconic for the name alone. If people wanted Mick and Alfie higher, then they should have ranked them higher. :heart: There is no set list for votes :lol:.
July 4, 20205 yr Author 80. Steve Owen Slick 7 points Steve Owen was played by Martin Kemp and first appeared onscreen from 28 December 1998 and remained in the series until 1 March 2002. Introduced by series producer Matthew Robinson, the character was a shady businessman who originally came into Albert Square to buy the local Market Cellar club – which he then renovated and later renamed the E20. He soon became one of the show's primary villains when the character's first major storyline saw Steve murder his old flame Saskia Duncan during the opening night of his E20 nightclub on Valentine's Day 1999, after which he ended up framing his DJ employee Matthew Rose for the crime. The eventual episode in which Matthew enacted revenge on Steve drew in outstanding viewing figures and brought a storyline that had gripped the nation to a close. In 2001, the character was involved in one of the show's greatest and most memorable storylines when Steve became a prime suspect in "Who Shot Phil?". The epic whodunit scenario began with Steve marrying Mel on the day of Phil's shooting and ultimately concluded with Dan Sullivan kidnapping Mel for ransom against both Steve and Phil, after the pair had worked together to implicate Dan behind the shooting – even though the culprit was earlier revealed to be Phil's ex-girlfriend and Mel's closest companion Lisa Shaw. Martin Kemp soon quit the series after his contract to the show had expired, and his final scenes were aired on 1 March 2002 – the first anniversary of both Steve's wedding and Phil's shooting. In that episode, Steve made a last-ditch attempt to settle his score with Phil by fleeing the country and starting anew to America with Lisa's infant daughter Louise – which triggered a fierce car chase between the two archenemies that ended with Steve being killed after he crashed his car and consequently died in a vehicle explosion, though not before he helped Phil save Louise in his last moments.

July 4, 20205 yr Author 78. Martin Fowler Cameron 7 points In the first episode, it is revealed that Pauline Fowler, aged 40, is pregnant with her third child. Her pregnancy quickly became a prominent storyline within the series. Pauline, against her mother Lou Beale's opposition, is determined to keep the baby. The storyline was used to spread a public message on the increased risk of genetic defects in late pregnancies, with Pauline undergoing amniocentesis tests.

Alexandrou quit the role in 2006, and Martin departed on 2 February 2007. In October 2014, it was announced that series producer Dominic Treadwell-Collins decided to reintroduce Martin, with the role being recast to James Bye and Martin returned on 5 December 2014. Since his return, Martin has divorced Sonia; married Stacey Branning; finding out that Stacey's baby Arthur is actually the son of his best friend Kush Kazemi; surviving a bus crash; a brief stint in prison for assaulting a police officer, the premature birth of his daughter Hope Fowler; briefly separating with Stacey after discovering her one-night stand with her former father-in-law Max Branning; feuding with Stacey's cousin Kat Moon and his friend Kush over the custody of Arthur; dealing with Bex's disappearance and attempted suicide; being blackmailed by Ben Mitchell into committing crimes for him, ending his marriage to Stacey in attempts to protect her and their children against the death threats made towards them by Ben, a one-night stand with Stacey's best friend Ruby Allen, descending into crime, being involved in a hit-and-run accident, kidnapping Keanu Taylor and faking his death with Linda Carter and also briefly reuniting with his ex-wife Sonia.
