If Leslie Grantham could possibly drag himself away from his more interesting private life and put a bit of effort into his lines, I'd like to see him stay. However since his return from panto, he's been looking boring sh*tless, so I won't be that sorry to see him go (if he does).
The one thing I can't bear is the thought of yet ANOTHER bl**dy halfwitted attempt by the scriptwriters at writing a character out. Hmm, let's see... Off to set up a bar in Spain (Shaz is leaving, they could go together). Fitted up for a murder, on the run, keeping a rapist's baby (well he returned from the dead so a male pregnancy isn't out of the question) or the ever reliable, 'Anyone seen Den, can't think where he's got to, oh well let's never mention it again'.
