DTC is turning into Brian Kirkwood
Im comparing him to getting rid of so many characters. So far Lola Liam Carol Charlie Max even though its a long break and im sure theres other characters that's going. Is he going a bit to far.

He is axing too many charcaters and sending them on breaks for all the wrong reasons. Lindsey and declan are the only two who quit or would do soon. He sent jake, shane
And jessie on then breaks when really shirley needa that over any character. Hes axed lola because he hates the character ans liam could easily stat on the square without carol. Hw has whitney, sonia, rebecca, abi amd cindy. |

What is annoying is he is getting rid of the characters with potential, with a future!!!
The man infuriates the shit out me!!!!!! If DTC quit tomorrow, I honestly wouldn't care, it be a positive thing. He destroys everything good that he created ffs ![]() ![]() ![]()

Yes, we've lost too many good characters under him. Apart from killing off Lucy, Nick and Stan we have lost Bianca, Terry & co, Johnny, Peter, Aleks, Lola, Kat, Alfie, Lauren, Carol, Max, Yvonne, Liam, Sylvie and Charlie. They haven't all been axed, but they've all gone on his watch.

Ben Hardy (Peter) got a part in a movie blockbuster (X men),Patsy Palmer (Bianca) wanted to try some new things outside of the UK. Kat and Alfie have a spin off coming up and I bet any money Jessie and Shane will be back by the end of 2016. It's not as if characters left because it is a sinking ship (Far from it in fact) and it's not like DTC has just axed people willy Nilly. Quote:

Two characters he didn't get rid of. |

I don't understand why he has axed Charlie seeing as how he's one of his characters. He should've written out Dean instead and put an end to the rape storyline. Now it's like he's trying normalise Dean's presence with the Roxy affair and the Lola/Paul trial run.

I don't think even Kirkwood the Clown axed his OWN characters. I can't remember if Vanessa Gold and Eddie Moon were only meant to be there for a while or if they quit.

No one even knows if Danielle Harold was axed or left by her own decision?

It's quite obvious DTC's appointment was a way to paper over the cracks that still exist to this day.
Whatever you thought of Kirkwood's time as producer he wasn't solely to blame the BBC should also take responsibility they appointed him and Newman and now DTC. |

He's not that bad but he does have a tendency to cartoony soap stunts which are to the show's detriment. I am loving the last few episodes though.

I've found that he's done lots of good things, but is also bloody good at undoing those things sooner or later.

I thought Yvonne Cotton (Pauline McLynn) was only contracted for a temporary time like Tosh and Emma Summerhayes. She wouldn't have been axed if they brought her back for that one episode during Dot's trial.

There is no comparison between Kirkwood and DTC.
Kirkwood was a one man wrecking machine on EE and it's taken like four or five years for the show to recover what he did to it. DTC for sure has his faults and some of his axing's do seem "strange" but to compare him to Kirkwood is just insane! |

Those characters are exhausted. Max could do with a break too but I genuinely have no idea what will be done with him when he returns. His storyline seems told. Same with Kat and Alfie. |
