Lorraine Newman seems to be dealing with actors egos well so far, suspending Shona McGarty for four weeks which hopefully taught the young actress a lesson...I do think she needs to be tough on the likes of Patsy Palmer who simply cannot keep asking for breaks, there have also been rumours that Shane Richie will quit if Alfie is forced out of the Vic... No actor is bigger than the show.

Its good that LN is not taking an nonsense
as for Patsy i also think she needs to be tough on her, taking breaks whenever she feels like it (i personally think bianca as run her course, i havent missed her and would like it if she remained in Suffolk)
As for Shane Richie i havent heard that rumour, hopefully LN does kick Alfie out the Vic, if the rumours are true that means he will quit (i just find Alfie very annoying)
I agree with you noone bigger than the show.

I love Patsy Palmer as an actress she is really good and bianca hasn't run her course and I love her kids as well.

I doubt the Shane Ritchie rumor is true. You don't get more money for being in the Vic

Didn't see the 2nd bit. If the rumours are true, then Shane should leave the show. I HATED Alfie and Kat in the Vic.

you do if you are paid per appearance, obviously whoever is in the vic is going to feature in lots of episodes as it is the hub of the square...

Alfie is beyond boring now, cant stand his permanent west ham cup of tea...yuck

Janine for The Vic 2013 (Sharon is fine too lol)

I think she should tell Patsy Palmer that she has to work School days and a couple of days in the Easter Holidays and about a week or two during the summer holidays and then have some one or two days off during October, February and May/June half term and and then she can book 3 weeks off next summer maybe and she could have her childrens birthdays off or work half a day then or something like that that might work out well

I doubt he is paid per appearance and even if he was and they didn't need him in the episode they would just make reference to him being out for the day.

Yes Alfie boring and annoying, someone should steal his West Ham mug so we dont have to hear his fake slurps.
Love Janine in the Vic oh and Kim as barmaid.

That is the reason Shane Ritchie left the first time.

I think we will see Kat booted out of the Vic soon anyway which may pave the way for Roxy to get herself back into the Vic but the Vic needs an entirely new people in there or Sharon of course...

No it wasn't. Alfie was out of the Vic well over a year before he left the Square. Shane quit because he thought he could do better away from Walford. But once again his career kind of flopped and he came back.

It's not really your place to say what's going on behind the scenes with Patsy. You don't know the actual circumstances. And as for Shane Richie, I haven't seen any interviews/articles to suggest what you're saying.

I have to laugh at forum members suggesting what Patsy's workload should be and what days she can and can't have off. It's none of your business.

ye we all have to pay the license fee (her wages) whether we like it or not

Personally I think its dumb to have her be back and forth all the time, either she is a member of the cast or she isnt, its not just Bianca, its the kids and other peole connected to her, I mean you cant give her a big storyline and then just have her vanish or give Carol a story in which Bianca should feature but is always off screen etc

I dont think there is anything wrong with fans having an opinion on the direction the show should try and move in...

Erm, I didn't say fans couldn't have an opinions. But when it gets to ridiculous posts like this one....

I think she should tell Patsy Palmer that she has to work School days and a couple of days in the Easter Holidays and about a week or two during the summer holidays and then have some one or two days off during October, February and May/June half term and and then she can book 3 weeks off next summer maybe and she could have her childrens birthdays off or work half a day then or something like that that might work out well
....then something is wrong.
As much as people like to think they own the show because they pay a license fee, they don't.

Again, Patsy's circumstances/contract, relationship with producers, thoughts about the show, and the producer's plans for Bianca or whatever aren't known to us.
All we have are biased articles telling us that she's taking a break with no further details.

For a random FM to think they're knowledgable enough about the show, or even important enough to suggest a bloody work schedule for one of the actors and when they are entitled to have time off is absolutely ridiculous.

But I suppose that's DS.

Carol yes, Bianca and the kids...no...

I wish Carol had never left, her and Derek had a really good dynamic going and I would like to see that explored more.

Bianca might be a bit better if they move her away from the always skint storylines they keep giving her, maybe she retrained in prison and is now a beauty therapist...gets a job in Booty's...that might be alright...just cant stand her screaming and moaning about having no money all the time and biting every hand that feeds her!
