EE: Does Lola axing sound the death knell for others?
With the decimation of the younger cast since Sam Strike's departure, does Lola's exit pave the way for a cull? Ben, Paul and the two younger Carters are of course safe, but with the likely introduction of Kush's brother and a hoard of Hubbard foster kids, do you think Fatboy, Jay and Whitney are next on the list??

It looks like Whitney is staying for the time being.
![]() http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/soaps/s2...to-change.html Shona also asked DTC if he was going to axe Whitney and he said no, http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/soaps/s2...d-be-axed.html |

I think that Fatboy is OK, but he's actually a lot better when in the presence of characters who he shares onscreen chemistry with. Donna, Martin, Kush and maybe Lee. Plus I think he worked well as Denise's toyboy during their little fling. Fats is way better than Dexter or Joey.
Jay, unfortunately, could be on the way out. He is treated as an afterthought a lot of the time. Nancy, Tamwar, Lee, Rebecca, Ben, Whitney and Abi are all safe. I hope they keep Cindy. |

I remember the moaning a few years ago about how there were too many young characters in the show

I think Whitney's tie with Lee makes her safe. I reckon DTC sees them as the next Linda and Mick so providing DTC is around, I think Whitney will be too.
Fatboy works well in ensemble and while he still needs to shed the Fats persona, he's already transitioned into the adult group particularly now Martin and Kush are around. Equally with Shabnam now around and his link up with Nancy, Tamwar's not really in that youngster bracket and fits more in the 20-30's group. Jay is the one in the most danger, I think. With Lola's departure, it's shown that being a Mitchell doesn't automatically make you safe and DTC could choose to hand JB a big exit storyline just as he did with Hetti Bywater. |

![]() ![]() to be fair Lola has barely been on screen since Ben came back. sad that she is going but they have never tried to do anything with the character since the lexi custody saga she hasn't been missed this far |

Saying this Jamie Borthwick as Jay is so underused right now, I cannot remember his last episode or scene even that didn't have any relevance to Ben and Jamie is far to good to be a secondary character in this way. Jay used to have good relationships with Patrick and ermmm Shirley which have now been forgotten, he also hardly has scenes with Billy either. I wanted Jay to have some scenes with Sharon over her searching for her dad, I think Shazza could take Jay under her wing but we've never seen anything like that. Its annoying that Jay cannot escape the Mitchell wing because he represents them from the male side as the most outgoing, everyday type of character that Phil and Ben aren't but at the same time he isn't treated like a bit of a joke like Billy is. He would work well with Roxy I think but unless its a Mitchell family meal Jay never interacts with her or Ronnie either, it seems Jay's world is either Ben or Phil and he needs so much more!! |

I feel like the writing has been on the wall when it comes to Lola for a long time, it's just been pretty obvious to me that DTC and others just quite simply don't have any faith in the character, which is a shame because I've always liked her and thought that she had a tonne of potential. There's certainly others I would have axed much sooner and maybe like it's been said here that's going to start to happen.

If Johnny came back with a new head I think that'd spell the end for Lee. He's really added NOTHING to the Carter dynamics & his relationship with Whitney is a bit MEH.

Lee is perhaps Whitney's best love interest since Todd Taylor in 2009. He was really underrated IMO.
Billie, Tyler and Joey were just meh. |

Actually, I think we may well see Abi leave with Max following the fall out of the Paul/Ben/Abi story. Max and Abi will then leave to go visit Lauren, returning with her in 2016.
