Kevin From Grimsby will be back, bringing with him Joanne From Grimsby, Mr Clifton Senior From Grimsby, Mrs Clifton From Grimsby, Kevin's Dance Teacher From Grimsby, Random Bystander From Grimsby and Day Tripper From Potters Bar Who Just Happened to Be In Grimsby (who is subsequently voted out first for being a Dirty Grimsby RINGAH).
you know Kevins Dad Keith who was a British/European champ runner up in the world and is a top level judge would have made a good replacement for Len except Kev on show - Joanne maybe if she packs up competing after the worlds next month

strictly wouldn't be the same without james and ola
I wouldn't miss them in the slightest. Strictly has survived when far more popular dancers like Ian, Karen H, Matt, Erin and Vincent & Flavia have moved on. It will survive perfectly fine without The Jordan's.

I looove Janette and Anya . The Jordan's can go yesterday.

I think the new pros have injected some needed energy to the show. Strictly is doing as good as ever in the ratings, so all that needs to change is Bruce and some of the older pro-dinasours

I think Aljaz, Artem, Kevin, Pasha, Anya, Iveta and Karen will be back.
If Aljaz is back, then Janette may be too.
Hopefully, Natalie Lowe will be back as well.
As DeltaBlues said, Kevin's sister, Joanne, is a possibility if she's no longer competing by then.
Anton fills a certain niche so he probably will be back; I think it's quite likely Brendan will be back, too.

Artem is the best dancer of all the pros by miles.

You're not James Jordan are you? He said exactly the same in a Q and A on twitter!

I don't like James, he is a trouble maker and drags Ola down with him, but if he said that Artem is the best dancer, at least he is being honest.

I love Artem he would be sorely missed I think he is the best dancer and choreographer in the show.

Artem, Pasha and Aliona are my favourites, followed by Ola.

I quite enjoy the lineup of pros we have this year, so I would be quite happy for most of them to come back. I guess Aliona is probably going to go, and it depends on whether Vincent and Flavia want to come back, but I would hope that most of the pro dancers will return next year.

It would be very nice if Matt could come back. It's not been the same without him.

I really wouldn't bet on Anton not being there next year. Did you see him greeting Mary Berry? He fills the older woman niche in a way none of the other pros ever have.
Yeah someone has got to partner the mega duffers - I'm not saying Mary Berry would be one by the way but I can't imagine how Artem or Aljaz would have coped with someone like Widdy lol.

I think most will be back and it certainly won't be a clearout. All the new pros are fine and Karen seems better.

TBH I would not be unhappy if this were Anton & Brendan's last year.

Artem would have been out of the training room faster than you can say Чигвинцев. So her pairing with Anton was probably for the better...

I think we can safely say Kevin From Grimsby will be back, along with half his family if last week was anything to go by.
In fact- maybe he'll bring his sister with him in the same way that Derek and Julianne Hough have both been so successful on Dancing With the Stars.

I hope -
Kevin, Pasha, Artem, Aljaz, Iveta (she is brilliantly bonkers) stay.

Not bothered by Kristina, Brendan, Anton, James, and Ola.

I think Karen, Anya and Janette will probably be back. Janette has been quite central and done some beautiful pro dances.

Would love Natalie Lowe, Vincent and Flavia back asap.
And if Joanne Clifton joined.

I think we'll get them all back apart from obv Aliona.

We've had 5 new Pros this year so doubt Strictly will bother many changes for next year (if even any) as there have been enough this year and I'm sure Strictly will be mindful of the importance of familiarity amidst freshening the show up. They freshened the show this year (due to whatever circumstances of Pros leaving of their own accord or being un-fit to dance) so I suspect they'll have a majority of returning faces next year (inc all the new Pros who I think will get a second year like Karen did).

In recent years only Jared and Hayley got one year, Hayley was only a filler Pro while the show where trying to get Natalie in (so she was likely not staying anyway) and I suspect Jared's quiet personality and fairly forgetful choreography made him easily replaceable. Despite going out early this year I think Janette (due to being quite bubbly) will get a second chance like Aliona did when she didn't have the best debut year either.

Doubt Flavia and Vincent will return if the popularity of their own show carries on and goes far. And I think Brendan will retire from Strictly for good if his own, Licence to Thrill, show matched Flav and Vincent's success (then he too may even get asked onto the Royal Variety show).

I don't think Kristina will be back, the way she's been the centre of most group dances etc suggests it's her final year and her farewell speech with Mark suggests she won't be back either.
do you mean Ben?

Artem can do comedy. He was funny with Nancy on tour.I think he'd just get on with it.

They'll all be back if invited, at the end of the day, no matter what the forumites think about their faves, there's plenty more where they came from...

Very true
Even V&F decided not to return on balance after they managed to get their excellent show off on the back of their SCD credentials... there are hundreds of competition champions etc etc from all over the world who would be more than happy to stand in at the T&C of TPTB ... So all the different Strictly pros, for whom their fans would stand by till death (at least the DS ones ), would be glad to be invited back...
