2015 is a new year full of new contracts. But whose contract do you think (or hope) won't be renewed?

I believe the likes of Kristian (Alex), Khali (Dexter) and Maddy (Nancy)'s end in January. Dyer (Mick) I believe has grabbed another year on the show.

Hmmm now who would I like to leave! I'd be happy if Letitia Dean / Sharon and Ricky Norwood / Fatboy didn't have their contracts renewed. I have a feeling Anne Mitchell / Cora might face the chop. I know some people on here don't like Khali Best / Dexter but I do like him and want him to stay. I think Aleks should go along with Donna. I dislike Fatboy's OTT youngster speak as it sounds put on. Cora seems like she's at a loose end. Aleks is plain annoying and Donna is too.

I predict that:
Tosh (storyline purpose)
Dexter (due to the suspension)
Fatboy (ran his course)
Whitney
Possibly tamwars will end

Alfie! I agree Alfie needs to GO! Dexter doesn't seem popular on here. I think he is liked more by younger viewers who can relate to him and probably speak like he does.

People are saying Fatboy but I thought DTC gave him an extension during the summer?

I don't think Phil Mitchell will be renewed he's run his course, and Dot Branning.

I don't think many will go unless the actors decide to leave.

Obviously Ian, Sharon, Dot and Phil are untouchable from the axe. DTC is a big fan of these 4 characters.

Difficult to say who would get axed but probably FatBoy, Dexter and Aleks.

I want Alfie to leave but I think Shane Richie is staying for the long haul.

It seems the cast are quite happy there at the moment, one of the guest characters out on his Twitter that Eastenders was very much a warm, family environment.

I think morale has had a huge turn around over the last year and so I would be surprised if many of the cast left of their own violation.

The cast is really quite strong, even the weaker cast members are utilised in a way that you don't find them too annoying. The weakest link however has to be Dexter.

I don't think Cora will go but Ann Mitchell could go part time.

Dexter
Cora
Fatboy

To free up spaces for new characters

I can't really see anyone else leaving unless they leave but the door is left open for a return (Stacey, Kat, Ronnie did this this year to pursue other projects for example).

Maybe none of them will be axed. Surely most of their contracts are up on a yearly basis. If Fatboy has survived this long then who is to say he won't just carry on?

This thread is more like a wish list of who people want to go.

Dexter (why? Just why? How has he lasted so long?)
Fatboy (lovely character but he's had his day)
Tamwar (why is he still there?)
Lee (the shows worst actor)
Tosh (Rebeca Scroggs is almost as bad an LF)
Donna (is her actress even an actress?)
Abi (the shows worst actress)

ALL need to go! There is more deadwood but I can cope with Lauren and Peter, and Whitney, Johnny and Nancy.

They need to axe a few and leave if for a bit, corrie is shit but they have so many love serving cast members compared to EE! EE need to reduce their cast back to the size it was in the 80's so they can focus on each character individually instead of about 60 characters trying to share the show. Reduce the cast and numbers of episodes, the quality of the show is really bad!

God knows!
It's only a matter of time before he gets written out or axed after Khali batters someone else. Just watch!

Eastenders has just over 50 main characters. A big cast is important for an ongoing show to ensure the cast members get enough rest.

I think they will.

sack someone for gross misconduct when you want to axe them or slap them on the wrists, suspend them and pay them for the next 6 months? those were the choices when he got in trouble. if they wanted rid they would of done it not keep him

the bbc is a huge corporate environment no way would they keep him and pay him for 6 months if they want rid.

plus he is getting used with the carters now he is back. i can see isuues with lee over his relationship with nancy.

tho I would prefer a tamwar nancy pairing personally

I hope to God they don't.

Dexter must be one of the most unpopular characters they have ever had in Walford - and as you can imagine that is up against some pretty stiff competition!
