...........and please don`t answer "the entire cast"!!!

I`d start with Pauline "perma-tan" Fowler, the whole of the Ferreiras, the entire Slater clan (except big Mo), Kat & Alfie (never understood their popularity) and Sam Mitchell.

Then after a few months I`d start "pruning" some more of them!

Apart from the Farreiras who are god awful.......you are suggesting to get rid of some of the most popular characters in EE!

No who i think should leave is......

Of course the Farreiras- Even Beppes family was better then them!

Spencer- Sorry he is only there for eye candy and thats it! Aint good enough and he should just go.

Gus's Brother - Talk about annoying

Zoe - She was good back in the day when she had teenage problems, e.g. the running away etc. However now shes all grown up and basically has become a slag.......Well she should just go before she repeats herself.

Minty - Only there for the comical value and even if he did have a serious storyline, i couldnt take his character seriously!

And plenty plenty more, but at the moment i cant even remember their names

I'd suggest Louise Berriage and a fair percentage of the writers.

Sam Mitchell - Whats the point? In real life she'd be laugh at and all she is a cheap tart trying to think she is Ms. Big
Andy - As convincing as Ross Kemp in drag
Spencer - I dont even see him as eye candy
The Ferrarias bar Ronny and Tariq - The rest are useless. Nabil and Ray are good actors but its a shame their talent has been wasted, so I'd keep them.
Minty - I dont see the point in him sorry.
Den - Well he is going, but he doesnt seem the be the character he was many years ago.
Donatella oops Sharon - I used to like her but its about time she is going.
Vicki - Annoying from day 1.
The Slaters except Little Mo - They have all lost their shine now and only Little Mo is worthy of being in the soap.
Juley - Dozy Rascal is a very appropriate name for him
Gus - Whats the point?

Pauline Fowler. Without a doubt the most sour faced old frump ever to grace our tv screens. Shes a throwback to those mythical days of the old east end where you all leave your doors open.

Its 2004, no one wears cardigans and anaraks anymore.

Btw, dont really get why people have a problem with Sharon and her fake tan, immaculate nails and hair extentions. As someone born and bred and still (just about) living in East London, I can tell you theres more woman like Sharon then Pauline.

Hasn't anyone mentioned Mickey yet? Not only is he staying but he is getting his own famerlee. He should definitely be first out the door, followed swiftly by Den (he's bored with us, we're bored with him), Sharon, Spencer, Vicki, Sam, Andy, Pauline, The Ferreiras, Juley, Gus, most of the Slaters, and Alfie unless he bucks up a bit. And all the actors, storyliners and and producers. Next!

Vicky, Dennis, The Ferrerias, Billy and Little Mo, Andy, Sam, Minty, Gus, Jules, Sharon.

They should all be sent back to the Sylvia Conti school of dramatic arts and made to start again from scratch before darkening my TV screen again. To be fair, they've all had shoddy scripts but that doesn't excuse the abysmal acting, of which Vicki Fowler is by far the worst. Embarrassing, cringe inducing 'acting' of the very lowest order.

Spencer - used to like him, but he's a useless little kid now
Juley and Vicki - they just plain bore me.
Andy - he's just a joke.
Pauline Fowler - she needs to shut her fat trap as it does my head in.

Derek - another wasted character
Zoe
Charlie
Mickey
Dennis
Vicky

I'd never write Wellard out.

A storyline surrounding him having fleas would be more interesting than the Kat/Alfie/Andy or The Frearias fighting to keep their house, Angies Den making sure it's got 8 people to fill it for a night etc.

Minty's alright would'nt wan't to see him go. Andy on the other hand, tries too hard to be a gangster , when it's obvious he's as soft as shite.

If he was in The Sopranos, Tony would have got Paulie to launch a moonrocket into his skull within 5 mins of his appearance he would have been a minor storyline and thats all he deserves in EE as well.

Fake tough guy, my 10 year old niece could kick his ass and he was crap in The Bill as well.

Get rid of:

Lynne and Garry
Kat and Alfie
Spencer
Pauline
The Ferreiras
Minty
Andy
Sam
Probably others as well, so many of the current characters are poor

Don't forget to get rid of Den, The Beales, Lynne, Garry, Lil Mo, Belinda, Sonia, Martin, Pauline, Paul, Patrick, Yolande, Natalie, Jack, Pat, Jim & Dot and leave Janine in jail.

EE could then consist of Tracey behind the bar serving Wellard drinks whilst Big Mo is trying to do dodgy deals. Then Phil could return ....
