Content

We did this poll before, it's true.

However, the number of patrons has doubled since then, and we've introduced some new players/characters into the game, so the first round of voting now begins!

This poll will end in a week, and then the top contenders will be put into the second/final round for a true showdown... I thought about narrowing down this initial poll into just the people that I'm fairly certain are going to end up in the final round. But, I want everyone to be able to vote their conscience, even if it's not with the popular choice.

For the record, the criteria is up to your discretion. You choose what aspects you're voting based on. Are you judging based on sex scenes? Are you judging based on entire character competency? Are you judging based on looks/descriptions? You decide what is the hottest to you.

(PS - sometimes people comment on MR Sutton and Charlotte - when it comes to this poll, I think you can combine them. MR-Sutton is who Sutton is always going to grow into, when it comes to sex, etc)

(PPS - yes, I know Rose/Abbie are excluded from the poll right now, but it's because we haven't really delved into their adult-selves yet)

I'm honestly thrilled to see who will come out on top queue ANTM theme song

For me it was tight between Charlotte and Caroline, because they are both very confident, which for me is very hot. But I have to go with caroline

Pau

This is extremely difficult choise feels like pulled in many different directions

Michelle

Surely this is allllllways gonna be Charlotte!!!!

Gabby

It's so hard choosing between Gianna and Charlotte 😭

Jess Bullock

That was way harder than it needed to be 🤣 I never expected to choose anyone over Charlotte but some of the things that came out of autumns mouth in that last chapter will live rent free in my brain forever

Valeria Cabriolu

Sooo I just want to mention... Haley how are we able to choose really?? Who in this universe is NOT hot in so many different ways? I guess I need to make a decision but I need to mention that whatever any of us chooses, I'm pretty sure everyone will be struggling including me ❤️😂

EJ

Choosing between Charlotte, Gianna and Caroline has never been harder, they all just exude different flavours of confident women! (all equally as hot)

Valeria Cabriolu

Omg those 3 are also on my mind 😂😂 it's so hard

Kristine Friling

Lol i feel like such an outlier for choosing Riley Beckett

Betsy Walker

How do you expect me to choose 😭

Gussie

Well this is rude 🤣 they’re all hot. I was going to go with Emma as a sleeper pick, but then my brain flashed to Gianna in the lingerie and blazer fit and that was that. 🤣 and well Charlotte too duh, but I HAAAAAD to choose one. So there it is. Most stressful decision of the day.

Hannah Berridge

Mine will always be Taylor. Her confidence and self-assuredness just does it for me. If I could pick a second it would be Reagan.

Amanda

I am thinking along the same wavelength! lol

Cristina C

I feel like I need to reread everything for a refresher like it’s a cram session before a test.

Jess Bullock

Dirty talk is my fave aspect of sex scenes and I was taking notes 😅

Sonia

Honestly, Regan should be a dark horse just for the Cassmas story.

L Green

If Whitney had been on this list she’d have gotten my vote 🗳️ I feel like she’s in the ‘too hot to handle’ category

threekats

So hard to choose…I’m new to your books - have them all and audiobooks too - these women are all fantastic but i may have to go with Sutton as TWW was the first book I read .

Cherry Yeung

Ahhh I see many of us prefer a woman in power. So hot

Maria

Charlotte on top!! 😄

Makenzie

Yes!!! This!

Karen

I’m a single mom, so for me it has to be Charlotte or Caroline. The ability to step up and accept someone and their child and fully commit.

Nix

Mia being so low is honestly a crime, DREAM woman right there

Sonia

Also I may suffer from recency bias because I was ready to vote Rose until I read your post, so now I have to give it to Autumn. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Dee

Because Charlotte is the obvious answer, I am gonna go with Autumn!

Jenn Stephens

Autumn seems to be climbing the charts for me too! 🥵

Jenn Stephens

I do LOVE Riley! ...but in the end, I still had to chose Charlotte. Ugh but Riley melts me so much too. 🥹 Such a hard decision!

Amanda

Riley is definitely in my top choices to choose between as well!

Sarah Watts

Because I know Charlotte won’t have any problem getting votes, I’m going with my thick, melted ice queen- Emma

Spanglish sapphic

Taylor, Autumn, & Hannah are right up there but I had to go with Charlotte Thompson

Kristine Friling

Yeah, Riley just seems like someone I could just actually date. I love all the other characters but Riley to me just feels right.

dev.exe

This is super hard to choose without Mrs. Katherine Spencer. 😅

Angélica

It hurts me not voting for Charlotte, but Gianna Makinen is my supreme goddess. 🫣🧎🏽‍♀️

Mel N

Once Abbie/Rose gets on this list, I feel like votes might change. An Olympic Soccer player & Ice Queen just might beat a US President (or Senator). 😂🤣😂

Heather

Brooke B. Watson Fan Club unite!

Hanna Baptist

My personal vote would be Regan, because I meeeean she has always been my fave, but *objectively* I think Gianna is the hottest character in the HCLU.

Gabriella

This is so freaking hard 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I’m gonna vote Gianna because she’s from my fav HCLU and book, her confidence is sooo sexy, her vulnerability melts me, and her love for Riley fills my heart! 😭😭😭 Extra points for Gianna too, because I usually prefer a dark-eyed brunette but I think she got me started on liking blondes too. 🤣 [But Taylor, Mia, and the Beckett twins are right up there too UGHHHH 🫶🏻]

Melissa S

I love all my beautiful ladies but I’m a Charlotte girl 🔥

Ahrisuzumiya

I have to say Regan. While she's objectively attractive according to Emma, her go to attitude and her feral energy is just so hot! But there's so many other hot characters it's hard to decide, haha!

Simba0913

Can you guess who I picked?

Veronica P

Sorry I have a thing for redheads.

Cherry Yeung

If hotness was defined by how feral someone is, as it should, then Regan wins hands down

Cherry Yeung

!!! How could we forget The Queen?

Jamie

This is the hardest poll yet! I was torn between Caroline and Charlotte, but I’m giving the edge to Caroline

Nicole

Gianna. For. The. Win!! Every aspect of her is super sexxxy, especially her personality!

Jax

Lmao I guess I’m not alone.. it’s an easy Charlotte for me.. “in love, in love, in love” 😍😍 Not surprised Gianna is the next closest. She’s my second fave!

Gabi

Mia?!!? The FIREFIGHTER?!! Throw some respect on her name!!! And my world traveler Taylor?!? And our sweet funny girl Regan?? Stunning Sutton!! (Plus heck yeah both Abbie/Rose will lead one day. Hottest couple soon enough) …aka everyone in the HCLU is hot 🤣.

M P

HALEY hear me out...Katherine Spencer.

Jax

When I checked out tik tok reviews of OTSP I was shocked to find out everyone hates Riley 🙈🫣🤣 I love her and all of her neurosis 🤗

charlie

Honestly, if Whitney had been an option then that might have given me a legitimate pause before inevitably voting for Charlotte 😂. She is the hottest by every metric for me 🔥

monika bjelcic

How Autumn has so little votes baffels me xD

Sariah

Having to pick between Gianna and Charlotte is devastating!! 😭

Gabriella

True! I voted Gianna but Mia is up there for me 🥹

el

all of them are my pookies but i’m always and forever a Charlotte girlie!!

Danielle

For the unofficial record my top picks are Reagan AND Caroline but we can only vote for one 😢 so I went with Caroline. How she is always showing up for her people both emotionally and in tangible ways 🔥

Corie B

Facts! My first instinct/gut says Charlotte. But I went with my head and voted Gianna.

Lauren

Autumn was close second for me but I HAD to go with Charlotte!

Vesta Charleshouse

Sutton will grow into MR Sutton regardless? *Scrambles over-enthusiastically to vote*

Ashleigh Trevino

This was…something. Charlotte is by far the easiest pick for me, basing hotness on her personality alone. Very direct, an eye contact queen, conversational master. Add in who she is in the bedroom and well….a clear winner in my book. BUT then we have Hannah. HANNAH PARKER THE WOMAN YOU ARE. She was a sneaky one for me, but the scene where she finds Caroline in her apartment after she misses Abby’s Halloween party…hot! That sealed it for me. Honorable mentions are Gianna and Autumn - Gianna for quite simply being a simp for Riley and Riley alone. Autumn for being the dom femme she is.

Ilana Galpert

I know I'm in the extreme minority picking Hannah, but I imagine her as graceful, classy, exceptionally well put together, competent...Gianna comes in a close second, but I think calm, collected competence is really hot

Ashleigh Trevino

You’re the only other person I’ve seen mention Hannah!!

Amanda

Nooooo! 😂 I think she’s great with all of her quirks!

Tanya

Gianna was a close second with Taylor being not far behind, but my girl Charlotte is hands down the hottest HCLU character for me.

Kristine Friling

Exactly!!! People's quirks are what makes them beautiful!

Mel N

😂🤣😂 MILF?

M P

GILF!

heidstuff

All of the women of HCLU are hot in their own ways, this poll is torture 😭

heidstuff

Then you gotta throw Elizabeth Thompson in there too! 😁

Maria

As the poll currently stands - there are at minimum 186 confirmed members of the charlotte fan club. Haley, please hear me out, we need merch 🙌

monika bjelcic

Her merch store is pinned under posts.

B

I feel like so many people are sleeping on Effortlessly Cool Long Legs Mayor Taylor!! The gentle teasing??? The tactile nature??? The sexy playfulness??? The quiet confidence??? The way her success unfolded like a well-kept secret because she doesn’t seek nobody’s validation (but Brooke’s, which is…AHHH)??? Yeah Taylor Vandenberg can get it.

AF

I like that everyone is the hottest to someone!

Atlas

It was a tie between Gianna and Hannah for me. Gianna is obviously a goddess but I think the two sexiest things about her are her devotion to Riley and I love characters who have very dominant personalities but like to be bossed around in bed. That duality is so hot to me. But Hannah…god she’s so fucking compelling. And mom’s are hot. There’s something about that gentleness combined with the very understated strength and control that just makes me weak in the knees. So in the end I had to vote for my girl, Hannah 🥰

Atlas

AGREED

Atlas

Oh my god, hey twin. Yes to both.

Atlas

Oh my god, you’re so right. Wait can I recast my vote?? We should be able to write someone in, right??

Cat H.

Same tie for 85% the same reasons! Also same conclusion! And here I thought I was the only Hannah lover!

Cat H.

Painful mental gymnastics over Gianna and Hannah. Gianna for her raw and utter devotion to Reilly no matter what. I mean Joel’s line about the stepping on a roach vs murdering people is perfect in every way. (I won’t quote it for people who haven’t read OTSP yet. too good) But then Hannah who hits all my buttons not just because of her journey over WYLE/BTE, but also because, like Caroline says, she is the most perfect mix of hard and soft. She is such a remarkable evolution of a character mentally it makes her oh so sexy that she overcomes herself to want what she wants freely. Hannah will always be sweet but she won’t be a pushover. Similarly Gianna has a great emotionally journey but it’s Not The Same. Gianna owns her badass and merges it with her kindness into a sassy 24/7 sexy. Also, I love the really distinct voices Lori Prince gives both of them. I mean Lori rocks the HCLU and makes everyone distinct but Gianna and Hannah sound grrreat. Gianna’s clipped vowels to deep registers and Hannah’s softer tones mixed with dry moments. Really taps into Haley’s descriptions so nicely. My love for Hannah will have to wait for Haley’s undetermined WYLE AU to rub off on some other people.

Cat H.

Nooo! How sad! Riley is the pb to Gianna’s j in that pb&j. She is incredibly human, neurotic, and the big “you have to care but not all the time” speech hits me right in my The Newsroom feelings. Her uniqueness, flaws, and trying to live by her own impossible standards is what makes Gianna love her. Gianna is beloved but to love Gianna is to understand why she loves Riley!

Kayla B.

This question feels mean because HOW am I supposed to pick just one?!

Misty

You and me both, Sonia. But I went with Charlotte. Though Autumn is a close second. I think I need to read the rest of IKYWT before I can pick her

Gem Arnedo

Charlotte, Gianna, Caroline…. Uuuuuuuuugghhh. I went with the first book of Haley’s I fell in love with.

Dalila Ribeiro

I am 100% convinced that when Haley is having trouble with picking among very difficult options she decides that she won’t suffer alone and she throws us a very cruel and impossible poll 😌 I see the evil!

Rachel

I always knew my answer for SURE to this poll... until autumn 👀

Chris

I’m a simp for Charlotte, love love every single woman in the HCLU, but Charlotte still lights me on fire!

Cat H.

Same! seeing other posters love Hannah brought me joy. She might not get picked but the fact folks are willing to comment on Hannah love brings me legit happy feels

Cristina C

Ughh I picked one and then picked another then another… it really depends on my season! Gianna/Caroline/Charlotte - confident and assured really get me, but Charlotte edges out for her dating profile and just owning all that 🔥 I guess Gianna has that going for her too… 🙈😩 But then there is Hannah. I feel like she’s got this energy that is super intriguing. Observant, smart, cheeky, and really gets into that quiet confidence. If Hannah were in my real life I’d have a mad crush on her. At least the Hannah I built in my mind haha I’m just going to keep coming back and flip flopping until the poll closes. Fate will take it

Cristina C

Yes to all of this! Is there a post for us to submit our fancasts here? Show me your Hannah, Cat!

Atlas

I’m happy to share the Hannah lover mantle with you friend

Cat H.

Aww thanks Cristina! There are a few actresses I think could visually work as Hannah. Haley’s fancast of Hannah does fit the definition of “both hard and soft” and the actress is actually a nice person. Bonus. A Great pick. Mine is a liiittle different. Now you have me chewing on it! Doh!

Cat H.

Same same. Sharing this mantle is decidedly caring.

Cat H.

100% on your Hannah. She does get cheeky when her confidence is up even if it surprises her and its wonderful to see all those hidden Hannah qualities blossom whenever she feels in her element. Demure polite PTA mom is earnest, but not the full picture. The layers of Hannah are what I see as the super intriguing energy you mention. Luckily she is Not Real so my partner does not have to watch me fall over dead from shock. (a terrible outcome for all parties but assured)

Alex L

I’m shocked that Riley isn’t getting a bit more vote. The way she tops Gianna is 🔥

Lucy

Genuinely one of the most difficult questions… a Riley and Gianna AU that is true to them is needed.. feeling very spoilt with AU Sutton and Charlotte x
