So it seems it was SB that Binned carl

Can i ask what the bloody hell goes on in his braincell,hes trashed the characters of ashley & laurel & Managed to do the same to carl in 1 episode!

i know carl has always had a nasty side,but trying to rape chas,What the hell was SB Thinking & to top it all off,he goes from nasty attempted rapist to the cheese king (sorry for the pun ) for his last line!


God Help corrie is all i say

how can you criticise him after a live episode like that someone
had to go just a shame it was Carl .

A SHAME!!!!! A BLOODY SHAME!!!!!

It is far worse than a shame getting rid of one of your key characters!!!!

It would be like Eastenders axing Phil Mitchell or Ian Beale!!!!!

Carl was clearly not in the right mind

Here,Here!,it would be like corrie getting rid of Ken or Steve

Getting rid of Carl and keeping that Robbie person - how could he do it??? He would be best playing Pinocchio - his acting is more wooden than any puppet.

IMO another one as bent as a 9 pound note

Please don't give him ideas.

Here Here!

Major major ***k up!

Don't think he will need ideas from any of us - he will have made his mind up by now who is going and who is staying - will have to make a name for himself with a big entrance on Corrie as he has ruined Emmerdale - IMO

but dont you see that it was a huge episode and a big character had to go unlike a miner one like
Robbie or Dan agree it could have been Cameron or Chaz .

He can't win, if Robbie or Cameron have died everyone would moan they were not bug enough characters

Just cause its a big ep does not mean you get rid of your best character.

They could have killed of Cameron or Chas or even Katy and i think fans would have been more happy.

Just cause it was a god epi don't mean he can't be critised.

I was disappointed in it being Carl who died.
So much for it being top secret everyone on this forum had a fair idea it was going to be Carl - so much for a shock death.
At one point when Chas hit Carl with the rock I had thought he was going to get up and take off and then back to Katie and Declan with Megan seeking revenge I had thought Katie is the one who is going to die tonight but then back to Carl and then Cameron arrives and takes his chance.
Wasn't impressed with the acting between Carl and Cameron at all. Chas was OK but Debbie was brilliant and so was Gennie.
Loved Eric being worried about his carpet - typical Eric.
Loved the scene between Zak and Cain. I had thought at one point Zak was going to hug Cain or vice versa and when Debbie was trying to get hold of Cameron Zak said to her there is enough of us here to look after you.
Loved Paddy going on about delivering Viv and Bob's twins and Lizzie offering to drive Gennie to the hospital - classic because she was the only one not drinking.

Loved Katie's face when Megan shoved her face in her wedding cake. Why not a bit of a cat fight between these two and then Paddy and Marlon bumping into each other. Felt sorry for Ashley when he had to watch those two in an embrace. Would make anybody sick.

All I can say is I pity Corrie when SB takes over.
Viewers are complaining about the show already but it could be the end when he gets his hands on the cast

As much as it sucks Carl was the one to leave as I don't think I particularly like anyone in the cast now. At least he gets a memorable exit.

Oh for godness sakes the way you lot are going on you would think Tom Lister died in real life. Characters MOVE ON, otherwise it just gets stale and boring. Hopefully he will weald the axe whem he joins Corrie as there are loads that need to go and quick!

Too bad he axed one of the few remaining good characters.

Yes you are right. It may be the downfall of Emmerdale now.

Good post especially the bit about Corrie. I agree Corrie will go downhill from January!

What do you mean about "bug" enough characters??

Yes agree! I personally cannot stand the man. When he was talking in last nights programme that came after Emmerdale, I think he is not very good at his job because he has made a mess of Emmerdale. It has never been this bad since he took over!

Think people are upset the top Character was axed rather then deciding to leave.

There's been a lot of discussion on here about the deadwood characters in Corrie that need to go but will it be THEY that go......

Or will it be the interesting ones and the better actors ???

Stuart Blackburn has form for cr*ppy decisions !!

This is certainly why I'm upset about it. If Tom Lister had decided to leave on his own accord then great, it would've been a brilliant exit for him. But he has clearly stated that leaving was not his decision.

I know because it's the 40th some feel there should be a big exit - but I don't think there needed to be a death in this Cameron/Chas/Carl storyline. I'm sick of murder storylines in soaps where someone innocent (Jimmy) gets accused. It's been done to death.

The BIG reveal of the affair would have been dramatic enough. I gasped at the TV when Debbie saw that text message tonight Surely, just the fact Chas lied to Carl and went and married Dan would have given him enough reason to text Debbie that photo.

I miss Carl in ED already

Ditto! It's only been a day. Oh dear -
