EE: Phil, Dot, Pat, Ian, Billy, Mo Emmers: Alan, Eric, Betty, Zac, Lisa What do you all think? Imagine the uproar if any old-timer is sacked! |

I can't see Paddy and Marlon going anytime soon, they'll be around in Emmerdale for a good while yet.
Alan Turner and Eric Pollard defo for Emmerdale!!!! 2 of my all time favourite characters.... ![]() Also Sam, Victoria, Andy, Diane, Edna and Rodney.... |

Corrie: I would add Steve, but I can see Kevin going soon, to be honest. He is disposable, in my opinion.

I agree with you, re Corrie's Steve...besides, I'm certain that his screen mum will be back within 2-3 years..
Not watched Home & Away for years, but I suspect Alf and Irene will never leave

You can never tell though.
Who would honestly have thought that Viv Windsor or Kathy Tate would have been axed. Whoever is the current longest serving female in Emmerdale should be very worried. |

Corrie: Sean - he always seems to be the favourite of the producers and we can't seem to get rid of him! I know this thread is about the golden oldies but still.

Why don't we flip the question around: who is the longest term cast member in a soap who did get the axe?

Corrie: Betty, Ken, Emily, Deirdre, Rita, Audrey, Steve, Sally. I wouldn't add Gail or Kevin to that list because I'm sure old producers have wanted to sack Gail and if David or Audrey ever decided to leave there's very little for her to do. Similarly with Kevin if the Webster split is permanent there could be another Martin Platt situation,
Emmerdale: Betty, Alan. Anyone else could be sacked very easily. See the Viv Hope situation! Even Eric isn't safe I don't think. EE; Phil, Ian, Pat, Dot. I'd be inclined to include people like Alfie, Kat, Max etc, because EE tend to know when they're on to something good and treat their cast better-the latter three examples will only leave then they decide to. Home & Away: Irene & Alf. That's it. |

Kevin Websters purple bomber jacket - I reckon he'll probably end up handing it down to his son.

If they can sack Charlie then they can get rid of Mo. I think only Ian, Dot, Pat and Phil are untouchable on Eastenders

Didn't Deena Payne decide to leave Emmerdale of her own accord?? I didn't hear about Terry going though, that one was kept well quiet.....

She was definitely sacked. It all came out afterwards and she had interviews about it about how sad she was they decided to axe her.
I wonder who'll take over the post office??? |

If you do, he wasn't axed. It was the actors decision to go due to his age. |
