It says Charlie Brooks is leaving! Is this true?

it was denied by Charlie.

Could be. Charlie has been offered a lot work outside the programme. She may of not wanted to renew her contract.

Recently or months ago?

If I was her I would quit too, Janine is such a dull character since her return.

may when the rumours started she denied it pretty fast

Michael. I will miss you, even if those intellectual peasants of Albert Square won't.

Of course she would deny it as she still in contract with the show. Charlie only has a year long contract with EE. I really doubt she will renew her contract come next year.

His father and Brother should have returned for an episode

Sometimes they just ignore them

I hope Janine isn't leaving. When she was in the jungle Charlie Brooks admitted that she couldn't find enough work on leaving EE previously which is why she cam back. I don't know why she thinks it would be different this time unless she has something lined up. I think she is quite a good actress but many soap stars fail to get much work when they leave a show.

Is Jessie pregnant? She looks like she has a bump in pic 5

Already, i was hoping his exit would be around December.

Have Kat and Alfie gotten back together by then? Just wondering why Roxy isnt there. Also Eddie, Tyler, Anthony, Craig and Frankie Moon seem to be absent as well as Janine, Jack, Jean and Alice. I suppose Jack and Jean would be there but the actors have left and Alice and Janine probably aren't there because one or both may have caused his death. Surprised Ronnie and Danny didnt show up just to be smug.

Is this still Newman work or DTC's?

when is this showing?

Damn, was hoping by some miracle he was going to be given a Jake Moon type exit rather than a straight murder, the show will be poorer without Michael.

I'm surprised that Kat and Alfie are the only ones there. I would have thought Alice and Janine would be there,or at least one of them and the other arrested for murder. Looks like Alfie and Roxy have split up by that point.

She did say she wanted to give it another shot though. it must be tempting to try other things while she's still young.

Poor Michael, it doesn't look much of a send off.

Two people, i know he wasn't liked but still, half the square turned up for Archies funeral, granted they weren't wanting to look guilty, but Michael had far less enemies than him.

Yeah, you'd think Janine would be there at least. Regardless of the state of their relationship, he's still Scarlett's Dad. Surprised Roxy isn't there either, considering she's sort-of friends with Michael. Unless he does something to Ronnie and she turns against him?

I thought he was leaving next year.

I guess if it is a murder then they will have Janine be the one accused and be held in prison whilst MyAlice who we know is involved will be to racked with guilt to go to the funeral, that's my guess anyway. If that is the case I wonder what happens with Scarlett? Who would look after her?

Gutted that Michael dies. I really hope Charlie Brooks stays, Janine is one of the best EE characters they've ever had.

Agreed, however I hope DTC can get her more involved within the square, right now all her scenes are either with Danny, Michael or Alice, I had hoped she would have appeared this week and said something about Ronnie being back but I guess now we won't get any reaction from her.
