Soap actors who are in it for the longhaul
I often wonder who will be in our favourite soaps in 20 years time ! The actors that i reckon are in it for the longhaul are
Letita Dean ( Sharon EE)- Since her 2012 return i think shes back for good. Jessie Wallace ( Kat EE ) - Although she takes regular breaks i think she'll stick with EE provided she gets the storylines Lacey Turner ( Stacey EE ) - Although she left upon her returm she stated that making eastenders is what she does best and she loves the show and stacey. Alison King ( Carla CS ) - She really is a modern day matriarch in my opinion and i think she is a new age deidre barlow or rita Debbie rush ( Anna CS ) - Another strong force who i think is going nowhere. There just some of my predictions what do ye think ? |

I'm not sure about Alison King with her leaving it does feel like she is testing the waters I hope she does stay but she must be bored out her mind on Corrie. My guesses are those I think Eastenders will want to stay, there are others who I think are in it for the longhaul but they won't last.
EE Jessie Wallace Kellie Bright Lacey Turner Bobby Beale diff head Adam Woodyatt Gillian Taylforth Jake Wood Jo Joyner Diane Parish Rudolph Walker Barmaid Tracy Steve McFadden Harry Reid I think DTC has built strong storylines for the futiure with all the baby's born, Lexi and Ben and Matthew for the Mitchell's, Stacey and Martin to carry on the Fowlers is really important, I still think in 20 years the Fowlers, Beales, Mitchell's will all still be the main family's possibly the Branning's. DTC had loads of complaints about the amount of babies being born but he has built a future for the show's main family's. |

So if she gets the stories I can see her wanting to keep her job. I cannot stand Sharon on Eastenders and particularly can't stand Letitia Dean's acting. I really hope she gets written out. I'd like Phil Mitchell run over to death. Obviously I don't want Steve McFadden run over. I've had enough of the Mitchells quite frankly! |

Using character names because don't know all the real names:
David Platt Fiz Brown Maria Connor Kirk Sutherland Tyrone Dobbs Chesney Brown Victoria Barton Debbie Dingle Sam Dingle Marlon Dingle Belle Dingle Laurel Dingle Ashley Thomas Andy Sugden Paddy Kirk Jimmy King Didn't expect to name so many Emmerdale characters, but I think all those actors have shown loyalty to the show and I don't ever see them leaving unless pushed. |

Antony Cotton in CS. They'll need dynamite to get him out.
Brooke Vincent. Kim Marsh. In fact, nearly all the CS stalwarts. They'll only go if they are pushed. Cain in EE, unless the unthinkable happens this week. |

Antony Cotton never the professional went mad. He really reacted and it still makes me laugh! I won't say who it was, forum rules and all that but lots of people know who it is.

The moment a forum member told Antony Cotton how it is....

This was what I was referring to. Antony Cotton being told he simply can't act and should spend his fortune on lessons I'm still not saying their forum name though. If he wants anyone to know he can PM them.

EE
Letitia Dean - she has repeatedly said she wants to stay on EastEnders for many years and she will never be axed. Letitia is loved by the EastEnders cast and crew. Gillian Tayforth - she loves EastEnders and was devastated when Kathy died. She's obviously happy to be back in EastEnders. I can't see Kathy leaving soon and the EastEnders cast and crew are over the moon that Gillian is back on the show. Lacey Turner - she said she wants to stay for good. Adam Woodyatt - for obvious reasons Steve McFadden - he has been there for 25 years and I can see him staying for another 25 years Jake Wood - he has been very loyal to the show and I can't see him leaving for good. Linda Henry - brilliant actress and I think she loves having high profile storylines and she's the best Carter (in my opinion) |

Jason from Corrie will be there forever - I just can't imagine him getting other acting jobs apart from panto. Same goes for Fiz, Sophie, Kevin, Steve and Eileen.

Not because of his acting ability nor memorable story lines but Anthony Cotton seems to have a job for life.
I can only presume he knows where the "bodies are buried". ![]()

EE:
Old timers-Steve Mcfadden, Adam Woodyatt, Leticia Dean, Perry Fenwick, Gillian Taylforth,Ruldoph Walker, Goes without saying. I can't see Lacey Turner quitting again anytime soon, she may go off on a break at some point to do other things but I don't think she will leave permanently again. Rita Simons is another I don't think will leave and I hope the likes of Danny Dyer and Kellie Bright will be the same. In terms of the younger actors I do think Lorna Fitzgerald, Jamie Borthwick and Harry Reid all seem very committed to the show. I would say Shane Ritchie and Jessie Wallace but we don't know what is happening with them at the moment. |

Antony Cotton! Now there's a mystery. Just why is he kept on? Sean Tully is probably the worst character played by the worst actor in soap, in all the history of soap! I absolutely loathe him. One of the funniest things I've seen on Twitter is a forum member from here telling him he needs acting lessons!

Sean's had no development in 11 years. He's still sponging off Eileen's hospitality and trotting out his clichéd one liners. |

Most actors who have been in soaps for over a decade don't tend leave. A few exceptions like Kate Ritchie, Julie Hemsaldgh.
I'd say a lot of these actors in Corrie are in for the long hall: David Neilson, Jane Danson, Simon Gregson, Sally Dynevor, Ryan Thomas, Jennie McAlpine, Samia Ghadie, Kym Marsh, Antony Cotton etc. I don't think Tina O'Brien will leave again

For EE I would say Adam Woodyatt, Letitia Dean, Steve McFadden, Rudolph Walker, Lacey Turner and Jake Wood are the ones in it for the long haul.

Most of the EE mentioned plus Diane Parish who I don't see leaving
Hollyoaks - Nick Pickard, Jimmy McKenna, Helen Pearson, Ashley Taylor Dawson and Jessica Fox I can't see leaving unless they're axed which is unlikely Neighbours - Obviously Jackie, Alan, Stefan and Ryan but I also can't see Eve Morey (Sonya) leaving any time soon, I think she's in it for the long haul as is Collette Mann (Sheila) |

Actors who aren't capable of getting acting work elsewhere except Panto. The only people to stop them sticking like glue are producers who decide to get rid of a specific character. The longer they've been there there the more glue becomes like superglue. The character is there for life Bill Roache/ Adam Woodyatt. Others come back and they've learned grass is not always greener. Poor actresses in EE to name but two. Safely are and will be super glued in!

Emily Symons, Georgie Parker and Ada Nicodemou on H&A. As well obviously as Ray Meagher and Lynne McGranger

This may sound bad but all the actors who are aren't great actors and are unlikely to get any other TV work.
Corrie: Fizz Kirk Sean Tracey Maria Tyronne Chesney Dev Windasses Beth Michell Steve Sophie Jason Eileen All the old regulars |

On the other hand, why should this forum's opinion only matter? Maybe others don't feel the need to jump on the Cotton hating bandwagon which has become an obsession on here.
