Me too! I loved the character & what better time than now for her to return!? (well if she could of course).

Because nobody saw Den's body.
Tiffany (and Danielle before anyone starts! :eek:) are dead :cool:
I suppose the only way they COULD do it is she arranged for Frank to come round the corner, pretend to kill her off so she could flee the square to get away from Grant..however it's far fetched & she loved Courtney to bits so wouldn't have left without her.
I guess but she did only want a tempory leave apparently, however the producer at the time apparently was like 'Martine can't have her cake and it' and killed Tiffany off. Which i guess is understandable but at that time she was pretty much the favourite soap character all round.
This is a really interesting documentry about why Tiff was killed off and the reasons behind it:

It was a MASSIVE mistake as was killing of Michelle Collins chaarcter Cindy who imo was the best female character Ees ever and will ever have
I mean, when you think about it, she could indeed actually sing, I mean ok, her voice wasn't powerful, but it certainly wasn't unbearable.
so as to why she didn't make it music wise - is a bit of a mystery in my opinion.
It hardly flopped.. This is my moment went to number 1
No mystery to me - she's a good-looking girl, quite a good actress but a cr*p singer, imo.
Her first single only did well on the back of her popularity as Tiffany.
It seems to me if you're in a soap and you discuss a bit of time out with the producers and they decide to permanently kill you off, then sure enough they've had enough of you.
She wouldn't be the first soap character to tell the producers she wanted to leave : many have done so over the years and eventually returned.Killing off a character who the actor doesn't want to see killed off always appears like an act of spite.
Although her death did create the major xmas episodes that year..... gosh 12 years ago already! eeek
what about an actor saying they were leaving in a couple of years time only for a producer to kill them off earlier than they intended to leave? does that happen ?
hey monnalisa do you watch corrie or hollyoaks. They are stepping there game up arent the and contending against the likes of eastenders and home and away .:)
IMO a soap actor would have to be bonkers to go around running their mouth off about 'alternative plans' or other work offers.
It must be really hard to be always keeping your eye open for something bigger and better, ie a movie part or something, and being 'trapped' in a soap character role. After all, how many people who walk away from soaps actually 'make it' in the long term? Although of all those people, Martine had a great chance at success it's only her bad attitude that's hampered her.
Seems to me that no matter what your character part is in a soap, if you play the role well and are a reliable employee who gets on well with everyone, they would never write you out permanently so much as play around with your character. I'm fairly sure there are some soap stars who are on old style permanent contracts and literally CAN'T be got rid of.
i think you read my Q wrong. i mean if someone gives a couple of years notice to when they want to leave but the producer is bitter and doesnt renew the contract?
