EastEnders yet another teen axed
So it looks like Jordan will go to live with his aunty next week. While not a loss this character could have been something if recast and he was the only teen actor apart from Charlie Jones who actually needed to be recast. The recasts of Lucy is out of order imho
So since Kirkwood came to EE he has axed Lucy Peter Zsa Zsa Leon Jordan Billie while recast the roles of Lauren and Ben. Not all of them are big loses however I wonder how Kate Harwood and Diderick Santer feel knowing this man has destroyed the foundations of the teen cast they spent five years no less fo building up. Next week we will probably find out Tiffany is getting a new head as well. |

Brilliant news.
The actor who plays Jordan can't act - at all - so it's no lose that he's going. |

When we find out Denise is axed as a result it will be.
I didn't think the show could get anyworse. BK total disregard for viewers is wearing thin. |

why wait until now though?
We haven't even seen Jordan since Lucas left have we? No aftermath or how he is coping. No mention of him at all. Then they decide to send him packing. This clearly shows there is a lack of forward planning or they would have ditched Jordan long ago. They just kept him on in the hope they could use him somehow. |

He was used when it was his birthday - i think that was the last time we saw him, but to be fair, child actors can only be used so much.

But there was a time where people where wondering where Tiffany was - Abi's not been seen for a while - it depends if they spread the episodes out, or do them in big chunks.

but according to stats on WW, Jordan has appeared less then all teh other under 16's. It is bad judgement on the creative team. They clearly had no idea what to do with his character or what they would do with Denise and Lucas next.
I guess it depends on each actors contract - some are contracted to only appear in so many episodes etc. |

Ha ha, I was making a jokey remark on a thread yesterday about Jordan being yet another potential "re-cast victim" of Kirkwood's! - tied in with the fact that Jordan hadn't been seen in the show much at all since Lucas was imprisoned and has been off screen for about three months now, if not more! Then this thread pops up to say it looks like he's now been axed - so I wasn't actually far off the mark...! I think EE is in somekind of turmoil at the moment judging by all these re-casts, axings and so on. It's kind of transparent that it is going through the mill at the mo.

![]() LOL. Jordan was last seen on 31st August. |

To be fair, the actress playing Lucy was sacked so the part is being recast.
Peter: no great loss, a door could act better than him! Zsa Zsa and Leon: Came over from E20 and basically spent the time in EE just plodding around. Jordan: Once Lucas disappeared there really was no point in him being in it. Point though: are we going to see a trial with Lucas going down for murder? Doubt it. Billie: Writing was on the wall when Bryan Kirkwood took over because the actor was sacked from Hollyoaks for bad time keeping etc by BK. |

Peter has NOT been axed and they stated Thomas will be back in the future
Zsa,Zsa was not axed either and wanted to focus on her writing (e20) Lucy had warning after warning and of course axed due to the way she behaved Ben,Jordan ect couldn't act and were quite childish so it's clear Kirkwood wanted better actors Not sure on Lauren though |

Jordan - good riddance IMO. He was almost as bad as the old Ben Mitchell. Not sure how these incompetent untalented kids ever get these parts in the first place....their parents must know a friend of a friend if you know what I mean...

The teen stories do seem to have been sidelined under Kirkwood.
Fatboy is non exsistant now and mercy is never in it |

I thought the actor who plays Peter has been given time off so he could perform in Panto this year? I'm sure I read that he'll be back some time next year.
And as for Jordan, yes he may be spending xmas with his aunt and her family, but this doesn't mean that he won't be back in the new year, I'm sure we would have heard something if the actor had been axed. |

The DS article on Thomas Law leaving makes it sound like they don't have any plans to bring him back.

Teen Axings/Recasts
Lucy - Good. Actress was terrible and the character was irritating. She was a poor man's Janine with no reason to be a complete cow.
Ben - Shame, I liked Charlie Jones, but he couldn't act bless him. I did grow used to him being so bad though. I wonder how the new actor will do... Lauren - Great! Nice move recasting her. The old Lauren was a mess. She couldn't act and looked about 8. Although the new Lauren is a different character; it's a better one. Leon - Thank God! Billie - Rubbish actor and character. Peter - With any luck he won't return. Terrible wooden actor. Jordan - Can't act and pointless without Pastor Johnson about. |

Jordan is a horrid character. Like a walking plank of wood.

Next week we will probably find out Tiffany is getting a new head as well. Don't know Peters reasons for leaving, possibly out of loyalty for the actress that played Lucy. Zsa Zsa is a writer for E20 and chose to do that rather than act. Leon was no real loss to be fair! Jordan - the actor that plays him is not great! Billie - there is a past between him and Bryan Kirkwood, so perhaps that had a play in it! Soaps have to evolve and characters too, his cast changes are what the show needs. |
