Wow, she is the best soap bitch ever created, I wish we still had her on the square especially for this brilliant autumn! Oh how I wonder what dtc would of done with her character! Hopefully charlie will return in a couple of years time... She did say she would, didn't she?

There is a limit as to how many killers they can release early

except she isn't in prison?! found not guilty and last seen heading to france on the eurostar.

I'd like Janine back to but think the autumn will be exciting enough as it is.

I love Janine, but I think she needs to be away from the show for quite a while.

I think EE should invest in a new bitch. We need someone fresh. I think Rainie has the potential to be a great bitch, but I don't think Tanya Franks wants a long term career on the show.

I will probably get lynched for saying this, but I think Clare had the potential to be a great bitch, but the writing for the character was awful during her return in 2008. They could have explored a lot with her past and interacted more with the cast at that time. I would suggest bringing Clare back again, but to be honest it probably wouldn't work now.

I can agree with this! Clare had a lot of potential, but her return really fizzled out and seemed so pointless by the end.

I'm sure I read on here once (though of course, you can read a lot of things on DS!) that a lot of Janine's storylines in 2008/09 had originally been planned for Claire.

Leave Janine wherever she is - storylines for her character have been done to death and her panto acting is a bore.

Panto acting? I don't think so...

I really miss Janine as well, not only is she the best bitch but I think she is the best character ever.

I also really miss Michael, killing him off was idiotic and an attempt to bring excitement to a rather boring year for Eastenders. They should have got him and Ronnie together.

I also miss Zainab to be honest, I just want to see her get really angry and irrational at Masood for trivial reasons. I love Shabnam but I still want Zainab.

I miss Pat as well.

I think charlie Brooke's has said she's up for a return, she'll probably be back in a year or so, as will jo joyner, I think. I really like tanya and janine, they were 2 characters that became a bit stale towards the of their stints, due to newmans poor work! I do miss zainab, but I wouldn't be in a rush to get her back, I think she's a great character, and I'd love a zainab return, just not as much as janine and tanya, michael was also a great character that never really caught my eye though, he wasn't a massive hit I think, due to the poor kirkwood and newman era, however I think if santer introduced him, it could of done his character A LOT more justice tbf. Pat didn't really do that much towards the end of her time on EastEnders tbh, her exit was a disgrace, the episode itself was really good, however sad, but I felt her exit was a bit rushed, I do miss pat a lot, but I would rather have peggy back, I feel peggy did a lot more than pat, probably due to her being behind the vic, I do slightly prefer peggy, but I do love pat, I really hope peggy does return one day, it's a shame pat can never return though, she will be sorely missed!

Facts.

She is a killer

She was in prison

She was released early.

No that is not true Janine is a Butcher and Butcher's are needed in the show just like Sharon is needed for the Watt's family and Ian is needed for the Beale's and Fowlers. I don't want the past characters like Pat, Frank, Kathy, Pauline, Arthur, Lou, Angie and Den to be forgotten and not be mentioned at all..

Janine is one of the best ever characters in EastEnders but I would like her to return in a few years time. Her 2014 exit was perfect.

Is there any reason why she would return? Liam is her only link now, she hates everyone else

Michael was one of my favourite characters of all time.

Totally unique and yet again TPTB chose to kill off one of the standout performers in the show.

Michael interacting with all the new characters would have been hilarious - I can just imagine his laser-sharp ripostes.

I heard SJS asked to be killed off, but I'd bet that was only because he was wasted by terrible EPs. I know I read in interview with Charlie where she said she was raging she quit because about a month later DTC took over and she knew she would have gotten better stories under him.

edited to add: Michael and Janine are two of my all time favs. I freaking loved them together.
