With the recent turnover bringing in the Turners and the Willises and the many recent exits, I was wondering earlier what the show would be like if some people had never left. I put a poll up cos I was wondering what other people might think - which of the recent leavers would you have liked to seen stick around, and what storylines would you have put them in if they were still here?
I personally, as I pretty much bang on about all the time, would have kept Tash around and have had her in Kate's place at the share house. Might have skipped the Andrew thing altogether and have her hook up with Kyle, or maybe have her set her sights on Brad Willis or something. Her banter with Sheila was hilarious towards the end of her stint.

I would have loved for Tash and Rhys to have stayed, but when the actors chose to leave, you can't do much except write them out... unless you recast, but that wouldn't have been the same.
Priya is good option, b/c it's still a mystery as to whether she quit or the show axed her. I think there was lots more potential left to develop her character and relationship with Paul.
Rhiannon seemed to be pretty popular, but she didn't really grab me until her last few episodes. And I'm so over all the newbies already.
They should give these actors/actresses 10+ year contracts which they cannot get out of to stop them using the show(s) as their ticket to America.* I read that the cast of Gossip Girl signed up to x amount of seasons so does this mean they were unable to leave until they completed the seasons? (Even though the show ended before the amount they had signed up for...)
* Joke. Before anyone starts moaning.
But I liked Rhys a lot, and Tash too.
Sophie and Summer are not missed.
Surely Rhiannon will be brought back after this successful trial.
Oh totally, I'm only being hypothetical. It is a shame that it's seen as a springboard, though I always get the impression that the Neighbours lot are slightly more commited than the H&A cast. Not sure why, it just always feels like there's more turnover in Summer Bay. But I do wish there were more long-termers, I'd hoped that of Lucas until that departure was announced.
Also I should really have included Steph in the poll shouldn't I?
I am gutted Lucas is leaving He's my favourite character and has been since he arrived. And I just love Scott Major anyway
Purely as a character I think Andrew had potential ad Paul's son but I never liked the actor.
