We were told Andrew would be sticking around, but you never know with the writers...they did this with Jodie and Poppy.

Yes I was really confused about this. Ricky Grover has confirmed earlier that he would stay in EastEnders for another year and would stay till at least March 2013. http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/soaps/s2...ky-grover.html

Indecisiveness on the part of the producers/writers is the bane of EastEnders.

That's a real shame, I really liked Andrew and Rose.

It makes sense to have him leave. Without Dot, Rose & Heather, there's nothing for him to do. I would've liked it if they explored Rose's creepy obsessions with her son before she left though.

Haha bit of an odd woman wasn't she, but I liked Dot having a couple of family members to live with.

I liked Dot playing the role of big sister, saying "Rose Elizabeth" in that motherly tone, but Rose didn't really "wow" me.

"Grover told Inside Soap: "EastEnders have asked me to stay on as a more regular character, so I'm hoping to be involved for another year or so."

its been 5 months since her death and he has hardly been around i didn't read that a contract has been signed

Similarly, when both Darren and Vanessa were about to leave...

"Jodie has reasons to stay...Poppy's back too!"

Just a little while later, after a brief fling with the Moons, both girls left. Poppy is back now, but for how long?

Yeah he was supposed to slowly build up a friendship with Shirley or something like that but since the murder he has not been seen much at all. Really odd. But then it is quite rubish right now and they are a bit desperate brining Sharon back yet again just so they can give Phil Mitchell some more screen time. There are some decent characters that they are just letting fade away because they are not being given the screen time they deserve.

Shame, the actor seemed chuffed that they asked him to stay on. I suppose the decision to axe Rose was made after all this and now there's not much of a place for him.
