Rob, as good as killed off, being a murderer. He and Tracey worked really well together, and he was a popular character if DS comments were anything to go by.
What do we have in their place? Whinging Les Dennis and the Nazirs.
I despair!”

Agree with most of this. I didn't know Michelle Keegan hadn't ruled out a possible return one day. That makes it all even more irritating - Tina wasn''t my favourite character but I didn't mind her (up until the surrogacy storyline when she started to become insufferable!) and of course her murder did involve the ridiculous affair with Peter and the loss of Rob, who, I completely agree was a great partner for Tracey.
As it stands I don't know what annoys me more - the awful Nazirs and their chickens or the simpering burglar and his fake son storyline. I think I'd find it more interesting if I wasn't hoping that the truth would come out and bring on the fatal heart attack they are all convinced will happen.
Of course there are a lot of long-standing characters I'd love to see the back of as well, but there's no chance of them going as I can't see anybody wanting to snap up the dross in the cast for another (alleged) six figure salary role.




How can an imaginary character be bullied? Sean Tully is not a real person - he's a soap character. A crap one at that!
I like the Nazirs but you're right, the people they have got rid of is not just a disgrace but also bloody stupid.
