He's pushing out the current cast so he can replace them with "big name" actors?
What sort of f**kery is this? Why can't he just develop the characters we have instead of booting them out in favour of introducing people we're more likely to recognise? |

Really hope I'm wrong but sadly I think we'll be saying goodbye to Lindsey Coulson.
Declan Bennett will probably be another when Ronnie's finished with him. |

I hope he doesn't axe any of the underused or mid/lower rung characters
![]() Fingers crossed it's not any of my faves. He cleared out all of Newman's character introductions. There are only two Kirkwood era characters (though there's speculation about Cora). Just hope he doesn't get rid of Carol, she is so underrated and would love to see her interact with Kathy. Maybe it's a way of saying at least Dean and Charlie may be exiting given how their storylines are likely to be headed. |

The younger cast I think - Jay, Lola, Whitney plus I think Charlie & Les too. Kat & Alfie are leaving so there is no need for Mo in my opinion.None of the Carter's will be going. |

I don't care about big names. I'd rather have more characters who are developed and used fairly and not overshadowed and made second rank to big actors who will stay for a year then leave and get all the screentime within that period. Honestly, Dtc is destroying ee himself now. Soaps are supposed to have a wide variety of characters and if he does this they will have a cast of 10 And that would be very boring. |

Obviously Gavin is going to be played by a well known Actor plus he will be bringing in Claudette' s Family.

wtf is this? He isn't about to start axing characters just so he can bring in the likes of DVO for 5 mins. And does Richard Blackwood count as a "big name" he said himself it's a strong cast so why the heck would you start pushing out characters instead of developing what he already has.
Anyway I think Kat and Alfie Dean Charlie only because they way they are writing him just nowPossibly the likes of Whitney/Lola/Carol/Liam |

I think Jo Joyner may return when Ann Mitchell returns in the Summer.

I think Lola, Dean, Babe, Charlie, Fatboy and maybe Jay. I think we will see the quieter characters go first. Dean and Babe I can't see staying, purely because of the way their characters gave gone, and same with Charlie.

Tamwar, Mo & FatBoy and even Roxy should be added to the exit list too.

That statement fills me with gloom, especially this line
''Both Denise and Bonnie could be here to stay. Watch this space.” Referring to DVO and Bonnie Langford. What is he thinking.

Lola and Whitney are likely to go. They've hardly been seen if seen at all. I think Charlie will go too. It's a shame Lola's been underused and it'll be a shame if she's axed. I would like to see Fatboy, Alfie and Sharon leave and maybe Lee. I think newer viewers will be attracted by big names while older long term viewers are nostalgic. I think DTC wants newer viewers who will tune in for big names.

It's a bit early to judge Bonnie Langford in EastEnders as we haven't seen her yet

I've seekn enough of her and DVO to know that I don't want to lose a load of regulars to pay them the high wages they demand. DVO made absolutely no impact on the show, and I'm not expecting to be impressed by BL. sorry
