Anyone else get the feeling Shane Richie is leaving EastEnders?
I have a number of reasons for suspecting/thinking this.
The writing for him in recent times imo has been largely poor.Its as if the writers cant be bithered properly with him-maybe their even trying to give him the hint to leave! ![]() Shanes acting has been more hit and miss recently like hes not bothered either. I think this upcoming Alfie arson storyline may be the beginning of a long played exit storyline for him,it may also mean theres no way back popularity wise for Alfie.Its a pretty wicked thing to do. I sense the writers and much of the audience feel they hit their peak as the moon couple in 2005 and that cannot be recreated. I feel Alfies time is up but not neccesarily kats. I just sense from what I see onscreen that DTC knows Alfie is a spentforce. |

I actually must be the only one who prefers when Alfie is given the comedy stuff. It reminds me of when he first joined. I find his dramatic stuff really dull.
I hope he doesn't leave. He's a good character (in my opinion) and I like Kat and Alfie together. |

Indeed. Should've just killed the character off instead of making him hated, if they wanted to keep Jessie on/he was quitting and she wasn't. Outside of DS, he does seem popular.
I can't decide who's worse right now, Alfie or Michael

If Alfie goes, Kat goes. Jessie Wallace was written out by mutual consent the last time Shane Richie left which means both parties wanted Kat gone. Kat could have survived without Alfie back then but not now. They're too tied together after this disastrous stint.

I hope not - leaving Kat with 3 children under the age of 4 and a stall to run on her own?

Yes!
I have had a feeling that this might be the case for some time as he's been getting some really bad story lines and been written as becoming rather arrogant and mean spirited at times, all the jobs he's able to do have gone, he pissed the market stall up the wall by getting involved with Aleks which was an unnecessary and needless story line and he hasn't been palled up with Mick or been asked by him to help out or been given a job in the Vic, Mick and Ian palled up and it seems that Mick has replaced Alfie as the resident cheeky chappy and Ian's best mate. There is nowhere that I can see for Alfie to go apart from out and if it is him who starts the fire then Kat might never forgive him and he certainly won't ever forgive himself! I really don't want Alfie to go and wish Shane all the best of luck in his next venture! |

You dont hold out any slim hope of Kat flourishing and being restored in a post Alfie situation?

Either that or Soaplife Careless Whispers have been misled into thinking he does.

I don't believe there will ever be a post Alfie situation with Kat. They're bonded forever. I also don't see where Kat could be taken with 3 toddlers to care for and no partner to bounce off. I've given up on Kat. She changes personalities more often than she changes her knickers.
![]() I think its fair to say the Alfie and Kat lovestory is not a priority or favourite of DTCs. |

They've had at least 6 happy endings. I just don't care anymore and I don't blame DTC if he doesn't either.

The only time they were happy was when they left. They've never been happy for longer than 2 minutes on screen.

DTC doesn't give a Monkey's about Kat and Alfie or their love story, they are just surplus to requirements now and rather than tell them to leave he's commissioning below par story lines in a hope they'll quit and I feel sorry for them both. DTC baby is the Carter family who I love but am deeply sorry that their creation has meant the sacrifice of Kat and Alfie.
I just can't warm to Linda and Mick. Linda is never satisfied and shows more concern for Johnny who was poorly as a baby than Nancy, who is actually disabled. |

Back in 2005, Kat and Alfie were massively popular with the viewing public and were cited as one of EE's classic couples, so it wouldn't be fair to see them get ripped apart forever. But it all went wrong during 2010-2012 due to horrendous writing and characterisation, which as a result severely weakened public perception of the once wonderful couple. I wouldn't want to see Alfie leave Kat on her own with three youngsters. But if TPTB did decide to keep Jessie Wallace on if Shane Richie decided to leave. I doubt many would kick up much of a fuss. |
