Graham Is The Ultimate Winner!
The soap has explored various dramatic storylines till now. Furthermore, the characters involved in it have had many developments. Some of the popular storylines include Kev’s entry, Graham’s return, Billy’s fighting plot and Ross’s bare-knuckle past. Furthermore, the soap viewers have also liked Cain’s plots, Aaron and Robert’s bond. These characters have been the major troublemakers in the village.

Thus, the viewers took to social media to share the hardman list. A soap fan took to Reddit to share their view. The first character they mentioned is Graham. The viewers know that the character has an elite military background. He is always willing to engage in ruthless illegal actions to achieve his goals or protect his loved ones. Furthermore, his return also ended up revealing his fake death story.
The second character on the list is Billy Fletcher. He has had several injuries. In 2024, he took part in underground boxing to support his family. But was badly injured. They mentioned Ross Barton in third place. He is a bare-knuckle boxer. He returned to the village in late 2024 as a fighter in illegal matches. Next is Cain Dingle. They wrote that he can still fight, but he is below the top four these days. But he often acts as a protector of the Dingle family.
Kammy Grabs The Last Position!
The fifth character is Aaron Dingle. The viewer added that they couldn’t decide between Aaron and Cain, but Aaron is more emotional. They also included Caleb Miigan in the list. He floored Cain after discovering the truth about Cain and Ruby.
He proved his toughness by holding his ground against three heavies connected to Nate. Furthermore, the soap fans feel that after prison, Robert is more of a fighter than he was before.

They added Mack, too, but shared that it’s strange to add him to the list. This is because when he was introduced, he was almost equal to Cain and had Cain tied up in his car. He also had criminal links as he knew Ray. However, his frequent losses in the fights have made him move down in the list. The last one in the list is Kammy. He is a confident character, but hasn’t been a part of many fights.
Many fans added that Moira, Jacob and Joe should also be included in the list. They agreed that Graham should be at the top of the list. Meanwhile, share your views about the tough characters in the comments. Stay tuned to Soap Opera Daily for more Emmerdale updates!
