John Paul

Peri
Tom
All the Lovedays
Joe

That's 9! Wow I surprised myself how many.

EDIT Cleo makes ten!

I'd get rid of:
*Freddie
*Scott
*Tegan
*Cameron

I'm not sure whether I'd axe Nico, Lockie, Cleo & Jason as I feel like they have potential but, at the moment, they just aren't used properly and, in Nico's case, she's played by a poor actress so I'd be tempted to recast her.

I'd also rest Lindsey, maybe give her a 6 month break, and bring her back and make her more like she was before this whole Frindey mess, which has completely ruined her.

I'm also tempted to say axe Ste as his character just goes round in circles - gets into a relationship, relationship breaks down, goes off on a bender of some kind and then gets into trouble (drugs, HIV etc). It's just boring to watch and he's not done anything interesting since the gay abuse storyline he was in. I'd probably rest the character and see how the show was going. If it had moved on without him I'd leave him, but if I felt the character had more to give and the show needed him, I'd bring him back afresh.

Mercades

Tegan
Simone Loveday
Lindsey
Nana McQueen

I think they are the characters who annoy me the most at the minute. I was so happy when Mercades and Theresa left but then they brought them back in under a year in both cases

Yep. That was kind of the point of the thread. It's so sad how easy it's become.

It's difficult because I think a lot of them could be saved by a recast/storyline/better writing/ Pairing up with another character/ Growing a personality.
Those that can't be saved;

*Freddie
*Cameron
*S'avage (just isn't working)
*Sienna (circled too many times)
*Nancy (Used to be a favorite but i'm not sure anything can be done for her anymore)
*Ste (Character has run his course)
*Sinead (Good actress but awful character)

Darren and Tom are favorites of mine but recently they've been written ooc and squeezed into other characters stories when they don't fit. I think if they shared more comedy scenes together it would fix them.

If Peri had a personality she might actually be a decent character, same goes for Leela. I'd rather Leela were single than shoved into a random love pentagon.

They should also stop introducing new characters all the time, no one invests in a character that quickly which takes away from any potential stories.

I'm having Patrick as an extra, because I can.

Hate them all. I hate the Lovedays too but they've only just joined, guess they could get better.

I'm being controversial by not including Freddie & Lyndsey, but I feel that with better writing they could perhaps work - take them back to the characters they were when they first arrived, making sure Freddie is never involved in gangster plots again. If that failed, then I'd axe them.

I wanted to include Ste, Trevor, Grace, Kim, Leela and Sienna, but ran out of space. I guess with some direction and development, these characters could be saved. But it's a long shot.

Only four out of ten are down to acting skills, really - the others (in my opinion) are strong actors but either annoying/unlikeable or somewhat bland characters. Must admit thinking of 10 was tough, actually: it's just the first four that urgently need axing.

Just 10 characters? I'll ignore Dylan and Patrick since they're leaving anyway.

1) Scott: pointless, OTT, annoying.
2) Charles: another annoying, OTT character.
3) Theresa: end this character, she's a murderer and the storyline needs finalising.
4) Lockie: he can't keep his pants on and it's boring.
5) Cameron: another murderer, he should leave.
6) Harry: pointless if you ask me and I get confused with all of Tony's children.
7) Dirk: superbitch Cindy needs to return which means goodbye Savage.
8) Phoebe: a non-McQueen who isn't needed.
9) Nana: OTT. I prefer Myra being the head of the family.
10) Kim: the never mentioned sister of Lindsey should leave too.
