If Kat or Alfie ever return it will be under a different producer, but not Alex Lamb.

I agree about Shirley, I liked her a lot more before her family joined but she's becoming increasingly boring to watch. The only Carter I ever found interesting was Stan although I like Linda from time to time especially interacting with other women.

I don't think long term characters should be disregarded for the sake of stunt casting

Denise Van Outen has been a big disappointment.

Inthink she should just be played by someone else as she's too similar in looks and voice to Kirsty who was Max's wife. I though she afted
Well last night but still feels like Kirsty mark II.

I agree she's been awful but DTC think's she's popular Ive a bad feeling she'll be made a regular.

I hope not.

Max (break)
Lola

Who's next?

I believe Charlie will leave in September but the door will remain open for a return.

I also think Dean will be gone by the end of the year.

Charlie's really got to go. He's just wandering about aimlessly these days. I'd bin Lee as well.

And we have had Stan, Cora, Kat and Alfie, Emma. Quite a few now so would rather not really lose anymore. I know some are breaks but still

Where did you hear Charlie was leaving September?

Dean surely has to be going

Still think Carol and Whitney might be possibilities and Cindy

I think Whitneys staying they have plans with her and Linda and a more grown up side of her. I think Carol will leave possibly Cindy and Jay but I hope not, DTC doesn't seem to like this age group.

Whitney will.stay aa she has stuff coming up with Carters. Charlie might go. Dean eventually. We need a new family.

I thought Whitney would leave, but thankfully Eastenders have plans for the character. Also Shona asked DTC a few years ago if she would be axed and DTC said no to her. Unless he goes back on his word and does axe Shona, but it does look like he has plans for Whitney.

I can't see Cindy leaving. As much as I dislike the character, I think Ian and Jane will make up with her and let her live in their house again. I might be wrong, but I think Cindy will stay.

I doubt Lindsey Coulson will ever be axed. She is a brilliant actress and has been on the show for years now. Lindsey could leave out of choice, but I hope she sticks around for long. Lindsey is one of the strongest actresses on the show right now and Carol is a character I like.




I

I don't see many more been axed now. There are some that need to go but they won't like Billy, Roxy, Mo, Tamwar.

Tamwar doesn't need to be axed. He has a role in the Masood family. He is the voice of reason, within the family.

Mo is barely in the show, these days.

Fatboy doesn't need to be axed. He has a place as a background character.

It does look more promising for Whitney because of the connection to Lee but take away Lee then what is left?

They wont axe Lindsay but she could leave on her own accord, especially now Max is taking a break.

Cindy I couldn't care less about really. Her knowing the secret about Beales could be why she stays though.

To be honest if we get anymore leaving I think it will be about not renewing contracts and not because they were axed

Carol/Lauren/Stacey and Lillie.

Lindsey Coulson would be a bigger loss than the character of Carol, imo.

If Carol is staying then yeah, when is Lauren coming back? Stacey hasn't had great material recently but would be good to see more of her and Whitney. Maybe when this Key is revealed
