2008 had no shortage of fascinating people -- the kind of big personalities who kept us riveted throughout the year. Tonight, Barbara Walters presents her 10 Most Fascinating People of 2008 (10 pm on ABC!), focusing on the most compelling people in the realm of news, politics, celebrity, and sport. Which is all well and good, and we'll definitely be watching -- we need one last hit of Michael Phelps and Sarah Palin before the year runs out. Here at SOAPnet.com, however, we know that television is our specialty. So when we got to thinking about OUR most fascinating people of 2008, we naturally centered on our favorite TV characters. With only ten slots available, the competition was pretty fierce. Did your favorite characters make the cut? Click on our slideshow to find out!
