Seriously. The cast is super bloated right now. Why can't DTC just focus on the many characters that he has currently rather than bring in new characters that become like extras!

I think all the new characters he has introduced so far have been promising. Not sure about this new guy though unless he is a really good actor. I hate when actors are cast based on their "eye-candy" looks - unless they are decent actors at least and really good looking!

I think DTC has quite a bit of deadwood characters to axe in order to make room for all these new characters. Then we won't have to endure characters disapearing for weeks at a time.

Grow some balls and axe the useless characters DTC, you promised to bring the balls!

Yawn...another thread that will lead into the all too familiar "AXE Dexter & Fatboy!!" war cry....

I think it's great that we are getting a lot of new faces, you wouldn't get the same families/people living in a street/area all the time, people move in, or move on....

I am looking forward too this new signing on screen, he looks very interesting and has links too the square via Martin/Sonia...

There is deadwood that could and should be axed but bare in mind a lot of the new additions are recurring characters or glorfield extras if the truth is known, they're not major players in the grand scheme of things.

Although I think the Carter's imo need no more new additions after Sylvie makes her appearance for the moment anyway we have enough and it feels like some aren't being used e.g Nancy.

Exactly^ however whenever I express my concerns, I get about 5 people replying to me making up about 10,000 excuses, and then I get accused of calling corrie the best soap which I have never done on digital spy I can assure you :

But yes, I do like many of the new characters, I'm glad Terry's leaving, but I would like to see

Donna
Fatboy
Dexter
Lee
Tosh
Dean
And abi go now!:P

I actually thought it was too many new characters as well but then I realised that Terry, Bianca and the kids are leaving which will create room.

I'm sure a few others like Dexter will probably also be gone by the end of the year.

Well Aleks has been fabulous so I'm sure this guy will be. If he's a love interest for Shabnam it'll put the focus on the masoods again which is a good thing.

Be fair, he looks really interesting. As do all characters that get introduced as 'sure to set hearts fluttering'. Like Leon. Or Callum. Or Tyler. Or Joey. Or Anthony. Or Connor.

He's axed no end of people, and several have left or are about to leave. They need replacing. As far as I can see he's got rid of the majority of the ones that weren't working and brought in some excellent new ones.

Last year the forum was demanding more elderly characters and for more 25-35 year olds to be brought in, he's done that. He's also addressed the lack of gay/lesbian characters and has given us more racial diversity. Sometimes I wonder what people do want.

bianca, terry and family have been getting a lot of screen time esp with carols cancer and david story, sonia's return and terry's ex. bianca, terry and fam will be leaving soon.
was thinking earlier and I reckon it will be about right. think a few more will leave such as donna but I think the casts about where it needs to be to give us variety and not the same folk every episode

p.s as i said in another thread fatboy and dexter are here to stay or they would of been sacked

Are we sure Donna is leaving? They created the role just for the actress so unless she herself has quit I can't see her being axed just yet.

think its just rumour sure someone said something about her having a 6 month contract then the new guy and put two and two together and got her leaving.

but she has had no development, if kat is going to war with kush whats the point of her?

I use my index finger to slowly rub my nipples, whilst licking my lips as I sacrifice a baby lamb to the heavens and dream of being J-B's trophy blonde.

Possibly testing the water for a new ethnic family to build around him with the majority of the Jacksons and Spraggans going?
