Who should EastEnders recast next?
So the Martin Fowler recast has now opened up the flood gates to a new era of EE. I think recasts are going to become part of the future.
Which characters do you think they should recast next? Could they get away with recasting Diane Butcher? or what about Lynne Slater? |

Way to lose a soap's credibility tbh. EE already gets slack over smaller recasts e.g. Shabnam, Ben.

Steven and Vicky are the only recasts that are needed at the moment.

I think it's ok to recast smaller characters but EE have gone recast happy the last few years. Even more would be silly imo, esp the bigger names.

Michelle and Vicki, with an American actress portraying Vicki.
Belinda Peacock, if the actress is unavailable. She's a long past guest character that's been crying out for a regular role for thirteen years. Steven Beale, let's just forget the awful 2007-2008 period, pretend he was brainwashed or something, severely mentally disturbed, but now he's back all back to normal. Other Beales, extended family we have or haven't met before. It's quite surprising given how large the extended family is that the show has not delved into it since the 90s. |

Grant Mitchell, its obvious Ross Kemp isn't interested in a return. I can see his recast going down really well with all the level headed DS soap forum posters!!

I would rather they bring in new characters than recast old parts. I guess the old Martin has no intention ever to return which is why they are doing this and they know this would cause less fuss then a recast of Michelle.
Why the need to recast Zoe? If they want to bring back a Slater they can bring back Lynne or Mo. and if you do recast a part STICK to it - Ben's changing heads is getting ridiculous (even though I hated the 2012 version) All the kids have had new heads apart from Abi. If you mention old storylines with new heads it feels out of place. Like when Old Sam came back - old Sam and Minty together was odd as well as her talking about Chrissie and Den. In fact it ruined that whole period with new Sam. |

People on here would love a Grant recast, It would go down a storm. I can see the posts now. ''Ross Kemp wasn't that memorable'', ''Ross never made his mark on the character'', ''Grant has been gone ten years, no one remembers what he looks like'' lmao Some people will write any old crap if its to defend EE from critics. |

Seriously though, I think for most characters, if the actor is good enough it shouldn't take too long for them to own the role. The new Martin looks good at least as he isn't totally different from his predecessor. |

I reckon they will recast Jordan Johnston and have him come back to slap down Ben Mitchell
