Looks like Stan & Dean will be gone by early 2015. Its a pity these 2 are going as they're both v watchable.
Instead we've gotta continue to watch Carter deadwood like Lee, Tina & Tosh (not technically a Carter but almost).
Disappointing that the show is losing 2 good characters & keeping their more banal relatives.

Personally I'm counting down the days until Dean leaves. I never rated him the first time. I have to fast forward most of his content. The constant wide rolling of eyes then stare into empty space look is such bad acting it makes me cringe.

I think Tosh will be gone too by then, with the DV sl going on and all.

Where is it said dean is leaving?

It's a shame about Stan but that was te actors decision. Tosh will probably leave in February which is when I guess the dv SL will end.

I don't think Tosh is going anywhere. I'm pretty sure Inside Soap said she just signed a new one year deal. They are going to tell the DV storyline from both points of view. Which is really interesting as usually we only ever see wife beaters as the villain with zero depth. The fact they are trying to explain who Tosh is and why she is that way makes the story more interesting. EE always missed a trick never exploring Trevor's background.

EE put out a statement that he's leaving after the rape storyline is concluded.

People criticise Matt Di Angelo (Dean)for over emoting, but Danny Bhoy Hatchard (Lee) doesn't emote AT ALL which is a far worse acting crime in my opinion.

TBH they are both as bad as each other. Danny has spent too long in stage productions he hasn't turned it off while Matt is just not all that anyway and is the perfect example of an actor who is where he is because of how he looks.

The only Carter's I like are Mick, Linda, Nancy, Johnny and Shirley. I can take Tina now and I'm coming round to Tosh now she has been given more depth. Stan is great mind you but with him leaving I don't think he matters.

Ok, thanks. I completely missed that. I just remember Matt tweeting that he isn't leaving. Do you have a link please?

I would have liked for Dean to stay but I'm finding it difficult to see how he could. Once they made him a rapist his shelf life shortened. I definitely think he's a better character with more scope than a number that we'll be left with (not just in the Carters). Or he was until what happened a few weeks ago. Matt is doing a great job too.

Stan is awesome, I want him to stay! But I'm not surprised Timothy was great having seen him in a lot of other things.

I like them both but I'm not sad they're leaving. They've obviously been brought in for specific SLs and I'm sure that they'd lose their appeal or impact if they hung around after those SLs have concluded. Plus, everyone's complaining that Dean won't get his comeuppance as he's not going to be put on trial, so I'm sure the complaints would be even more vociferous if he continued to hang around in Walford like nothing had happened.

I'm very disappointed to lose Stan, but I will be glad when Dean goes. I never took to him in his first stint, so I was not happy when he came back.

I don't get why Tosh is so unpopular. I find her a quite interesting character. She can be nice one minute and then turn aggressive.

Tina and tosh are about to be involved in what could potentially be a massive storyline - hardly deadwood!

I don't mind Tosh and Tina. The domestic violence storyline is building up which will be interesting as it's between two women instead of a male beating a female. That was a realistic punch Tosh gave Tina, it was very well acted. Now Dean's a rapist he should be driven out of town. I'll miss Stan.

Agree. Can't stand Dean. Very limited actor.

Stan will be missed, although it didn't come as a surprise to learn Timothy West wasn't going to stick around.

The article was denied. However Matts future in the show has not been confirmed.

I don't think it has actually been confirmed of denied if Matt is staying or leaving.

The Mirrors report was denied that Matt was leaving due at the end of rape plot, Matt and EE have refused discuss contract details for the future. DTC has already confirmed Dean will not go to prison for his act.

I think EE and Matt will see how the public perceive Dean before committing past 2015.

Yeh it's all up in the air. I could easily see DTC writing Dean to stay in the show if he really wanted...

It seems as though Matt would have returned anyway and then this storyline was given to him.....but it's been said that he returned just for this story?

I think its really shit if this is the only story DTC can come up with Dean.

I think Tosh will be gone before Dean but I do agree, it's very sad to see Stan leaving.

I think it was said that when Matt was in talks to return DTC said to him he had two options - to have this massive A-list rape plot and have lots of screentime or have B-list plots and stay in the background. So I think he was going to return anyway just had to make a decision between those two.

I have no idea what will happen to Dean as a character though, I don't want him to stick around purely because he is a rapist.

I would be happy to lose any or all of them apart from Stan. Shame he's going but, realistically, he was never going to be a long-term cast member.

Links please? Not saying I don't believe you but I regularly search 'Johnny Eastenders' (as well as Sam Strike's mentions) for news and tweets and I haven't seen anything of the sort.
