Its a shame that terry has been axed just because patsy palmer has quit for the 500th time to try her luck in Hollywood.Terry has his own family unit and friends on the square so why cant he stay on after Bianca leaves.i love the spraggans and think they have so much potential on the square i just hope DTC reverses his decision to axe terry like they done with jean a few years back

I like Bald Alfie and Nikki, not too fussed on his kids but they hardly feature anyway. Wish it was actual Alfie going instead...

Terry is OK but he has a dreadful family. Couldn't see the actor doing anything notable though....just a nice guy, and we've got enough of them. I'm sure that if TPTB thought the family had potential they'd have kept them even though Bianca's leaving.

Terry Spraggan and Nikki Spraggan are two characters I thought had slotted in well to the soap. Terry Junior Spraggan is staying along with the daughter (I can't even remember her name, Rosie Spraggan) as far as I know? I like his relationship with Liam Butcher, another character I am growing fond of.

He had potential and IMO, he's a bit dull.

Not sure that Terry has been "axed" as such - as Alderton said with Patsy Palmer leaving this has meant that the essence of "the story has changed" - and may end up being told in a different way (to what had been initially planned) which is already being seen with Bianca, with all of her associated money problems.

Sure on the other hand, it could be described as an axing perhaps, with Terry et al now being surplus to requirements - but I would hesitate to describe it as this, and to call it this, as such.

No he is not. Alfie is a character I can barely stomach. Don't need another version of him on the show.

The big mistake here is axing Nikki.

I'd like this dabbling with the Gob to stop, Terry and Nikki to get back together and settle permanently in the square. I reckon a Linda/Nikki friendship would be fun to watch. More fun than the frenemies thing Linda has going on with Sharon anyway.

How are people sure Nikki has left? Sharon Marshall claimed a few months ago she would be staying.

So unless her axing was a recent thing she must be coming back before Terry eventually leaves.

Terry is so much better than Alfie. Shame he is going.

I'd have kept him - he's a decent character who interacted well with others. His real issue was being lumbered with Bianca. Keeping him in while big mouth was gone would've been good for his character.

I like Terry, but the more they put him in scenes with Alfie, the happier I am that he's going. They bring out the worst in each other.

Alfie should be the one that's going though, my hatred for him increases exponentially.

I so want Alfie to go, to say he gets on my nerves and I can't stand him now would be an understatement.

Terry on the other hand is really good and I absolutely LOVE his cheeky smile. I mentioned this to my young daughter expecting her to laugh at me, but she agreed that he has a lovely smile.

Get rid of Shane Ritchie, he's the most boring now on EE, even worse than Billy Mitchell........and keep Terry!!!!!!
