I thought that too and I can't see him returning anytime soon. Maybe this is the start of a new storyline for Kat (finally!)

He should never have been axed, he didnt need a storyline, just be there, he gave that community feel and was a link to the original slaters, Theyve only got one male character overr 60 now havent they? - Patrick?

Exactly he was basically part of the furniture and I didn't care if he had a story or not as long as he was there.
I feel the same with gary and minty, shouldnt have been axed, they were the characters that were needed to .prop up the scenes in the vic |

Yep, you'd think theyd want to hold on their long serving characters as long as possible especially since theres not many left, also they had such an opportunity to rebuild the slaters- anyone could have played belinda who was a blank canvas! and i think the actress playing little mo would come back and possibly lynn.

Exactly Brian Kirkwood done wonders with Pat's exit but the rest of the show he has messed up and his biggest mess up was axing Charlie,Garry and Minty. But that was probably down to his arrogance.
I suppose from a writers' POV having characters just 'there' doing nothing is a waste, when they could actually get rid of them to make room for potentially new, exciting characters with big stories. Now whether you think Kirkwood's new characters in their place have been failures is irrelevant. You may hate Tyler, Anthony, Lola etc. But you have to be honest there's more to work with than having someone there just because their departed family may return one day. |

I was one of those who thought Charlie Slater was EE furniture (like Patrick) and that Garry and Minty were deadwood characters (much like Anthony and Tyler Moon are now).... but nothing wrong with that as that was their whole remit in the show really, just to be your average men in the street....in order to give the show a degree of realism, where it is mostly lacking now if we were being honest! Patrick aside, the only old people remaining now are of course Dot, Cora and Rose.....and this in a supposedly ageing society!

I think the point is that Laila Morse is taking 3 months off, Gilian Wright was in Panto, was Shane this year? So it gives them an excuse to write out the whole family for awhile because Charlie effects them all.
