With David leaving and Bianca leaving and if Liam, Tiffany and Morgan leave then there would be no Butchers on the Square and if Janine ever returns she would have no family ties on the square so should Liam stay or should Ricky or Diane return permanently? The Butchers are an important family on the Square in Eastenders.

Yea but they've lived in Australia like forever so they'd have to cast Australian actors if brought Clare and her family in so that wouldn't work 😂

The fact that she has no relatives on the square would make no difference to any potential return of Janine's

There are only 4 other places in UK outside Albert Square. Up West, Manchester, Leicester and The City.

Janine would be fine as a stand alone character, she knows pretty much everyone on the square and has never had friends, except maybe Billy.

I'll miss the Butchers, but hopefully it won't be long til Janine's back, and meanwhile they're building up the Slaters, which is great, and giving Dot a family.

Indeed and Nigel went to Scotland. Dot occasionally visited him and Clare there.

Now that I know David is leaving and as I don't care about or like any of the the Butchers they can all emigrate to Australia to join Clare for all I'm bothered.

Does anyone think Liam will stay and maybe Tiffany? I want their to be a few Butchers on the Square if Liam, Tiffany and Morgan all leave with Bianca and if Janine doesn't return for another 2 or 3 years then that would mean no Butchers on the Square for the 30th Anniversary and I hope that doesn't happen.

Janine doesn't need faaamily, she is one of those characters that works well on her own she doesn't need the support of others to work.

I'd just really like Carol to stick around with Liam and Tiff, but Morgan should leave and come back when he's 16!

There's a massive age gap between Clare and Janine Clare will in fact be 55 years old now her children were the same age as Janine so Clare is likely to be a grandmother now. I'd like to see Clare reintroduced along with her family but with Ricky, Diane and Janine all gone it seems unlikely.

Didn't you make the exact same thread about a week or so ago? :/

It's not really a major issue at the moment, wait until we find out if any other worthwhile Butchers return.

Exactly Janine has been in ths show with no relatives before.

I don't think it is necessary to keep characters in solely so there is. Representative of each family in the Square. They are either viable characters with strong current storylines or they aren't. Nobody should be kept in out of nostalgia alone. There would nething to stop a Butcher coming back at some point in the future.

Personally I hate it when they contrive reasons for kids (or teenagers unless they are old enough to be self sufficient) to stay In Soap when the rest of their families (parents mainly) leave as it just doesn't tend to happen in real life. So, although I have nothing in particular against Liam I do think he should go with Bianca. Ditto Tiffany and Morgan. The only 'kid' that makes sense to stay is Whitney because she's actually a young adult with her own life and job - even though that is rarely mentioned these days.

Although you could argue that Claire was a bit of a wasted opportunity there is no proper reason for her to come into the show as a regular character - she's never lived there so has no emotional attachment to the place and none of her relatives (except Rickys kids who she has never had any contact with) live there now.

I don't think Liam should leave if it after September when Bianca leaves because he shouldn't be took out of School while in Year 11 and it would be wrong and plus he is 16 in December as well.

They'll simply send Bianca back to jail and leave the kids with Carol and Sonia.

It's the only plot they seem to hold onto to accommodate Patsy Palmer's flightiness.
