I think the days of a cast member joining and staying on a soap for 10 years or so, are over. Most actors these days, dont want to be stereotyped these days.

If you think about it, all the longtermers, in, Eastenders, Emmerdale and Corrie, have been there for ages.

Blackburn vowed that Maddie would be there as long as he was. Come on now Mr Hat, nobody likes a promise breaker.

except it wasn't his choice? the actress choose to leave, he didn't exactly break his promise if the actress renewed her contract Maddie would be alive and kicking

But if Amy Kelly wanted to leave, there is nothing The Hat could do about it.

....Aside from the fact that of course I didn't really expect Blackburn to leave the second Amy Kelly did (more's the pity), I'll just go with '^^ what he said!'.

I'm not so sure. I'm pretty sure there is a certain element of actor who would love to land a part in a soap and be there for decades. A job for life means stability - some actors want that.

Of the more 'recent' long-termers, David, Fiz, Sean, Tyrone and Maria from Corrie; as well as Andy, Debbie, Vic and possibly David from ED, I can see all staying on in their respective roles for years and years to come.

The actor that played Kal never sticks to anything for too long

To be fair on Blackburn, two of them chose to leave on their own accord, Tony was probably never going to be permanent / long standing cast member and they had no choice to write Andrea out as Lloyd is leaving. So none of the departures are due to poor characterisation.

Thinking about it, Blackburn has introduced better characters than Collinson IMO.

The actress who plays Andrea didn't choose to leave, she's being written out.

Collinson might have dropped a few clangers with Mandy, Jenna, Gloria, Tiny Fireman, etc... but most of the characters he introduced were so much better than Blackburn's: Sylvia, Kylie, Eva, Rob, Kirsty, Beth and Craig, etc.

I can't say I really like anyone that Blackburn's introduced, apart from maybe Steph, Luke and Sinead.

Please telling me you are joking, soap-lea. If he stays in charge for even another year the show will collapse.

Steph was actually introduced under Phil Collinson.

So were The fireman, Jenna, Mandy, Gloria and Sinead. I think the first new character Blackburn introduced was Kal.

Bit by bit, Blackburn's losing his grip on CS... Just like Sepp Blatter with FIFA, LOL!
