We didn't hear from you
Evening all. Sorry for not making good on my comments last week. This time of year is one of the busiest on set as we're trying to wrap as much as possible before the Christmas break.
I will get around to a few questions, one that I won't be answering is to do with theme tunes and fonts, afraid that I'm just not involved on that end of things and having worked on other shows for most of my career it's not something that I know all that much about in the context of CS. A few other questions I have to ignore as we work on units as part of the show, some I don't have a clue about and some might pin me to a certain unit. Sorry.
Onto what I can share, and this is big. It relates to a big storyline in the planning stages for next year, probably spring/early summer but still a bit up in the air. I'm keeping it as vague as I feel comfortable with but I figured it would be interesting to see the speculation.

There is a big set piece on Christmas day with a fistfight in the street shot in an innovative way and then a couple of other "stunts" coming. KO is trying for a move away from the big stunts at the moment as the feeling is audiences have become desensitized to them.
Don't know of departure announcements, I know of a couple coming up but I don't work in press so don't know the schedules. As soon as I have anything I can share without compromising my role I'll try and post it.

It would be disappointing if they wrote out David as Jack is one of their best actors.
Just reading the descriptions for the week of 5th to 9th December & Maria is really starting to hack me off now 
"Aidan calls at Maria's flat and when she admits that she can't stop thinking about him, he kisses her passionately. Aidan invites her to spend the night with him at a hotel and she's thrilled, until Aidan makes it clear that he has no intention of finishing with Eva. Hurt, Maria orders him to leave.
Later, as Maria sets off to court with Kirk and Eva in tow, she tears a strip off Kate and blames her for the whole Caz debacle. This double blow leaves Maria feeling weak. Having changed her mind about Aidan's offer, she phones for a cab to take her to the hotel, but will Aidan be pleased to see her?"
Maria - Kate & everyone else told you repeatedly not to get involved with Caz & you ignored them.
Also judging by what happens next week Kate plays a large part in exposing Caz. How about a bit of graditude
As for Aidan - have some self respect or at the very least think about Eva before yourself.

That whodunit spoiler is intriguing. Normally a ‘villain’ would have to be at the centre of such a story but they are a long standing character which makes me think Tracy, David, Maria or Todd. Killing off Tracy would be massive (Claire Peacock failed) but she’s the best she has been in years recently. Maria would be like a rehash of Tina and the Platts have had enough tragedy for a lifetime. This needs to be innovative and the motives need to be strong.
How about Steve?
Suspects: Leanne, Michelle, Peter, Tracy and Nick.

That whodunit spoiler is intriguing. Normally a ‘villain’ would have to be at the centre of such a story but they are a long standing character which makes me think Tracy, David, Maria or Todd. Killing off Tracy would be massive (Claire Peacock failed) but she’s the best she has been in years recently. Maria would be like a rehash of Tina and the Platts have had enough tragedy for a lifetime. This needs to be innovative and the motives need to be strong.
How about Steve?
Suspects: Leanne, Michelle, Peter, Tracy and Nick.
The whodunit could be:-
David is attacked by someone unknown and the list of suspects would include Kevin and Gary.
