1. Lute-Mae Saunders - Such a great character and the heart of Flamingo Road. You could say she was a tart with a heart. She seemed to run a brothel in Flamingo Road although it was never explicitly said in the series. Fiercely loyal to her friends, including hiding that she was Constance's birth mother. Also, I'd like more Flamingo Road representation in the knockout rounds.
2. Julia Cumson - One of the most brilliantly entertaining characters in any of the soaps. She had a central role in one of the best TV cliffhangers of all time when she shot Jacqueline and also in one of the saddest scenes ever when she died in the spring house.
3. Jock Ewing - He's Jock Ewing, he doesn't require any further explanation.
