Did your favourite make it through the cut-throat first round?
The votes have been counted and verified and the results are in – the 14 soap characters going through to Round 2 of RadioTimes.com‘s Soap Champion tournament are:
- Marilyn Chambers
- Tane Parata
- Ben Mitchell
- Toadie Rebecchi
- Mike Young
- Kelly Neelan
- Susan Kennedy
- Meena Jutla
- Felicity Newman
- Imran Habeeb
- Mackenzie Hargreaves
- Lola Pearce
- Verity Hutchinson
- Misbah Maalik
Neighbours dominated Round 1, with fans turning out in force to throw their weight behind their favourites.
All four shortlisted Neighbours characters made the cut: Toadie, Mike, Susan and Mackenzie.
If your favourite made it through to the next round, you’ll need to come back tomorrow (Tuesday 21st March) from 10:30am to support them once again as they battle it out for a place in the Quarter-Finals.
And if your pick didn’t get through, then all the more reason to show up and back your favourite soap harder in Round 2!
The second Round comprises seven head-to-heads – and only the winners are guaranteed a place in the Quarter-Finals, so the stakes are high.
The seven losers find themselves in the unenviable position of having to vie for a single remaining place in the next Round by competing in a Wildcard decider on Wednesday (March 22nd).
