Pete Beale
Because he made comments about the BBC and the show after they axed him. |

I don't think the Heather one was particularly spiteful. If the actor wants to stay then it's sad, but that doesn't necessarily mean that killing off that character is a personal attack on them!

Kathy Beale and Angie Watts, because they didn't agree to come back when the BBC asked them. Leslie Grantham had to be pestered for years to return and I think both Anita and Gillian would have done by now if the characters weren't killed off.

Martine McCutcheon was launching a pop career and expected time off when she needed it. The bosses didn't see it like that and killed Tiffany off.
The way they treated Wendy Richard was appalling. Wendy said she hated what they did to her character in her last months on the show. She said the nastiness and spitefulness was not the Pauline she'd known for 20 years. In the end, she gave up arguing with them, did the job and left. Killing off Pat was one of the most idiotic things they ever did. |

Cindy Beale. I read an interview with the producer responsible and even when he tries to dress it up as being for storyline reasons, it still comes across that she was killed off as she held out for too long to give them an answer about returning to film court scenes.
What happened with Michelle Collins is similar to the current situation that we're seeing onscreen with Alice Branning where the actress refused to come back to film her trial scenes but in this case the writers have worked around it whereas in Cindy's case they didn't. |

Gillian Taylforth maybe but Anita Dobson kept saying she would never go back. I think they killed Angie off off-screen because they got fed up asking.

Michelle Collins has also recently taken to Twitter to slate the Corrie producers too, complaining she became a background character and that her exit story is anti-climactic. Allegedly only a handful of her co-stars showed up to her leaving do, as well. She seems rather difficult to work with, if truth be told. |

I think she very definitely was. Probably the most famous spiteful killing in soap history actually. Martine wanted a break to have a singing career, but Matthew Robinson killed her off for getting too big for her boots.

Ernie Bishop from Corrie.
He told the producers he wouldn`t sign another contract because he disagreed with how longer term characters at the time like Ken Barlow and Len Fairclough got paid more for doing less episodes. So they killed him so they could keep Emily Bishop in the show. |

In response to the above post, was it not also to do with LG slagging off his co-stars allegedly?

I don't think killing off Pat was out of spite. It was a short-sighted stunt on behalf of Kirkwood to get ratings.
