Is Dennis Tanner staying now?
I hope so - and hopefully they'll use his link to the 60's and have scenes mentioning Elsie - I'm still waiting for at least 1 scene between Dennis & Gail considering Gail lived with Elsie for 3 years

I hope so too. Aside from the fact that I quite like Dennis he's a good link to the past.

I'm sure this whole plan of him trying to get back together with Rita well soon enough backfire and then realising there is nothing left for him in the cobbles and he will pack up and leave

Wish he was staying too. But the current writing team has never had any faith in the character.
Surely having an original character return to the show after so many years is a writer's dream? I'd be chuffed to bits having the opportunity to write for someone like Dennis Tanner. So much potential and it's all been wasted now...

If Dennis stays in the show, I hope he is not still with Rita, they were a very ill-matched pair. Where is he supposed to be living now? he only has his old-age pension so he couldn't afford to rent anywhere. Perhaps he is back in the homeless shelter.

Don't remember him moving into Julie's, when did that happen?
I remember Julie said Marcus could move in, not sure if he still lives there, but I am sure Dennis is living with Rita.

The enthusiasm for Dennis among the writing team has been minimal since he came back. A far cry from the days of Jack Rosenthal shedding a tear as he wrote Dennis's return scene after a year away in 1963.

Then he told Rita what happened to Elsie - dying like Grace Kelly! - much better than after a few poxy years in Portugal as "The Life & Loves of Elsie Tanner" suggested |

Sadly the ship's sailed now for showing links to the past
They should have emphasised his link and reminisced about the past.. Made a story out of it somehow.. Give him a family and all that But no. It just shows they can't be bothered |

Well I think they should keep him in it, for old times sake! He is the only person along with Ken that remains from episode 1 !! Shame on them if they cannot find him a storyline to keep him going! They keep Anthony Cotton going for years and years!!

They wasted him since his return, I feel bad for Philip Lowrie. They had 43-years of backstory, but instead shoved him behind the counter and just made him someone for Rita to talk down to. Even his relation to Julie and Eileen was forgotten, he has only had like 2 scenes with Julie since finding out they were related.
