Agreed with Layla. Personally, I think the rule should be that characters who had their original story updated less then a year ago (excluding reunions) should be eligible nominees-- so, for example, characters like Zack could be nominated, but not people like Kendall because his original story (TD:BI) finished over a year ago.
