    I'm certain Dexter will follow when his contract expires in the summer. There is no reason for him to be around and that is usually a sign the axe will fall.

    I do think Cora and Dexter are next.

    Thinking about it, I suppose its good DTC has axed Terry. Look at Ava. She was brought in for one storyline but they kept her because they liked what they saw. However they had no storylines planned beyond that one story so Ava basically became a joke. The same probably would have happened to Terry.

    At least this also puts to bed the rumours DTC won't axe his own castings. Anyone in the show is at risk of being axed.

    Is it confirmed this is DTC getting rid of Terry or has he walked away of his own accord?

    I was indifferent to them to be honest.

    This is a good thing really. The only other way for Bianca to leave would have been another Prison story! This way they cant write her out for good without having to kill her off.

    Tiffany and Morgan must have to go as well. They cant stay with their sick grandma! No reason for Nikki to stay either really - David surely wont leave Carol again.

    This is a shame, I liked Terry :( What will that mean for TJ and Cindy's baby? Will TJ leave too and Cindy will have to bring the baby up without his support?

    I thought the Spraggrans were Newman's creation, I never warmed to them I found them all dull.

    I feel sad for Terry, but i never liked the setup with him and Bianca and all of those kids, so i won't be sorry to see his character leave the square.

    So if DTC has axed all the Spraggans I wonder if he is planning another new family?

    I reckon Cora's days are also numbered now. If Dexter hadn't of won that NTA we would probably be saying bye to him too.

    I reakon he will keep Cora, he is widening the elderly people on the show,

    I hope there is a solid new family who sticks around as long as the Brannings or even more!

    I'm hoping Nikki stays!

    Bit of both I think but DTC cast them. It was him who announced Terry Aldertons signing.

    Bianca's departure is going to be a problem I think, it creates a lot of uncertainty around many characters like the Spraggans, Cindy, the Jackson kids, Carol & David and Sonia & Rebecca.

    Shame Patsy decided to leave right in the middle of a massive storyline as well, Carol's cancer is probably written for the whole year if not longer and I doubt Bianca leaving was ever considered. Sounds like a lot of storyline reshuffling might be ahead for this one which is unfortunate.

    I think Terry was okay, but didn't like his as a partner for Bianca. I'd prefer them to go their separate ways when they leave and not together into the sunset. I can't see Nikki having many storylines without him. She doesn't exactly fit into the square.

    Was Terry axed then?

    I hope the whole family leave. Nice enough bloke but the family have added nothing to the show.

    The only one I like is TJ.

    Terry is leaving in June but Patsy is not leaving till autumn so I doubt they leave together.

    So Terry and Bianca will probably get a happy ending somewhere and move.

    Frustrating slightly that they've set up the pregnancy with Cindy and TJ being the father etc and it's not going to really happen.

    Maybe TJ dies and then Terry decides to move away and Bianca goes with him?

    Very unlikely as he said his leaving in july and patsy is leaving just before xmas

    The show needs another family. The Spraggans and the Jackson/Butchers will be no more in the autumn. The Carter's already look too big as it is. This is going to create a huge problem on screen unless there are new characters to ease the loss of potentially 8 characters leaving. If not we are set for wall to wall Carter dominance.

    This is of course assuming all the Spraggan's are leaving with Terry.

    Basically he was because they didnt want to renew his contract

    I think this is the perfect time to have a eastern asian family something soaps have never done

    I think the obvious thing to do is build up the Coker family. They have been well received and are not related to anyone.

    They may have told him it's because of Patsy, but if they really wanted to keep them they could have had him shack up with someone else. He was just deadwood.

    Terry Alderton ‏@TerryAlderton · 55m
    So, I'm leaving EastEnders in July :@( unfortunately Patsy leaving has changed things in the story. It's very sad but it's been a great ride


    To me it sounds like he was axed or his contract is just not being renewed.
    it is a shame because I quite like him but then on the plus side hopefully it means I don't have to see the annoying and badly acted Nikki again :)
