Soap actors sacked for "misdemeanours"
I know the following actors have been sacked for wrong doing:
Peter Adamson: sacked from Corrie for breach of contract
Sean Wilson: sacked from Corrie for refusing to do a storyline
Bruce Jones Sacked from Corrie for sdomething wasn't
Leslie Grantham: sacked from EE for badmouthing co stars wasn't he?
Danniella Westbrook: sacked from for Cocaine use
Melissa Suffield: Sacked from EE for "unruly behaviour"
Are there any others? and have any actors ever done something wrong without being sacked?

I always hoped maybe she would come back but sadly not.
In Home & Away, Martha and Geoff both had scandals in the press. Martha for taking cocaine and Geoff's sex tape. They both announced they were leaving soon after. I don't know if it was a coincidence or not.
Scott Windsor - Emmerdale - Alleged rape.
Always strikes me as unfair as he was subsequently found Not Guilty.
Sticking with Emmerdale - Luke Tittensor (Daz Eden) was sacked after being found guilty of assault.
Sticking with H&A, one of the original cast, Neville McPhee, not sure of the actor's name, spoke out against the show after he was written out. His on screen wife back has been back on numerous occasions since but they killed him off off screen obviously as revenge!
Was eventually cleared of the charge,but the unsavoury aspects of the case effectively finished his TV career.
He was accused of sneakily groping two girls while giving them swimming lessons.A bit surprised it ended up in court....I imagine it would be nearly impossible to prove what had happened,
don't be so ridiculous - you have no idea of the circumstances behind Devon leaving EE :rolleyes:
It;s pretty obvious he sacked him when he was at hollyoaks and then sacked him at ee as soon as he became producer.
I loved Sue Osman. Brilliant character. Sandy Ratcliffe got into a very sad situation (as did Elaine Lordan, more recently).
Peter Adamson's accusation of kiddyfiddling polished off his career, which is very sad.
It does seem that Devon Anderson lucked out. He was sacked from Hollyoaks for bad timekeeping (the worst sin imaginable in a soap actor), and got his old job back in EE. The the HO producer took over at EE! It could be that Devon was only on a short-term contract and they always planned to kill him off ... ? Am I wrong in this? Did he get booted out by his old boss?
Bad luck for Devon here I think. It does appear to be a grudge on Kirkwood's part. Shame, but his exit storyline was done VERY well.
unless you know everything that goes on in the EE set then you can't say anything for sure
Devon was apparantly sacked from HO for bad time-keeping so it may have been the same for EE, although I read he was only ever contracted for six or so months. he probably just decided not to stay on
No, it was for naughties on a webcam. The astonishing thing was back in the 80s.
An actor was sacked when it was revealed that he'd had a conviction for theft. At the same time, it came out that grantham had been in prison for murder.....yet he stayed on.
Sort of.
She had a series of rows with the producer over the storyline with Michaela and Zak, and after one of them she decided to leave but didn't tell the producer, just told the whole of twitter. Her exit was then re-written to make her leave quicker, which is why Nancy very suddenly became a journalist. Her revealing about storylines came after she left, she wrote about Kevin's exit.
Not at all. It was only ever a short term contract on EE.
Peter Adamson's character, Len Fairclough, was killed off in the car crash soon after. Len was also demonised when it was revealed that he had been having an affair, cheating on Rita.
Ivy Brennan was killed off just over a year after Lynne Perrie had been sacked.
Stephen Hancock wasn't sacked as Ernest Bishop, but he quit after a row about equality of pay. Ernest was killed off in what was the show's most shocking and violent deaths up to that point.
Although it was never reported as such, this happened quite recently when John Savident quit as Fred Elliot. John had spoken out against the way that Corrie was produced (particularly with how over-worked everyone was) and as promptly silenced when Fred was killed off.
murder fitted the den character however theft did not fit arthurs...
What a stupid statement.
