Yes, I agree with all that. I do think they'll leave the door open so that when he eventually realises he's not actually Stirling Moss he can come back again.

I would imagine that would be long enough for the police to forget they were doing an investigation

Thank God you're not the producer
Killing off Aaron and the hottest man on soaps Andy is a crimeHere are some better alternate stories:
Aaron decides to permanently end it with Robert realizing Emmerdale's answer to JR Ewing will never change.
Chrissie's attempt to frame Andy backfires, Andy figures out the truth and dumps her.
Andy and Aarron drown their sorrows together at Woolpack get drunk and end up having sex. Arrndy becomes the hottest couple on soaps. Robert of course is fuming with jealously and plans to kill Andy.
Ross realizes he's a terrible mechanic and decides to give stand up comedy a try, he becomes so successful that he buys Mill Cottage and turns it into a comedy club.
Jacob comes up with a plan to rid David of Tracy once and for all, he drugs both Tracy and Pollard and puts them in bed together and sets it up so David walks in on them.
Lawrence still refusing to admit he's gay goes in search of a new beard. The HBIC is more than happy to help as long as he signs over the rights of Home Farm to her.

If I was producer a great many characters other than Aaron would be culled along with him
Meanwhile the Dry rot in Mill Cottage causes the roof to collapse Killing Ross, Aaron, Liv, Jacub, Sam, Dan, Lawrence, Bernice, pierce, Lisa, Dr Bailey, Joanie, Pete, Finn, Tracy, Rakesh and Megan, with it being a mercy death for Ashley..
Thats what you call a disaster

Maybe so but that goes against Douglas Marland's rules of how not to wreck a soap.

He was the co-creator of Loving and the head writer for As the World Turns in the 80's that is credited with saving the show from cancellation. He came up with this list of rules every soap producer and writer should follow.
Quote:
“How Not To Wreck A Show
* Watch the show.
* Learn the history of the show. You would be surprised at the ideas that you can get from the back story of your characters.
* Read the fan mail. The very characters that are not thrilling to you may be the audience's favorites.
* Be objective. When I came in to ATWT, the first thing I said was, what is pleasing the audience? You have to put your own personal likes and dislikes aside and develop the characters that the audience wants to see.
* Talk to everyone; writers and actors especially. There may be something in a character's history that will work beautifully for you, and who would know better than the actor who has been playing the role?
* Don't change a core character. You can certainly give them edges they didn't have before, or give them a logical reason to change their behavior. But when the audience says, "He would never do that," then you have failed.
* Build new characters slowly. Everyone knows that it takes six months to a year for an audience to care about a new character. Tie them in to existing characters. Don't shove them down the viewers' throats.
* If you feel staff changes are in order, look within the organization first. P&G [Procter & Gamble] does a lot of promoting from within. Almost all of our producers worked their way up from staff positions, and that means they know the show.
* Don't fire anyone for six months. I feel very deeply that you should look at the show's canvas before you do anything.
* Good soap opera is good storytelling. It's very simple.”

H'mm the British soaps rarely take any notice of that list heh
Still all you would need to do is for Chas or Charity to bar a couple of regulars from the Woolpack, they go to the Malt instead and we gradually over the six months he recommended we get to know several lovable new people then we can have the Mill Cottage comedy club disaster and we will be set for dead wood free era.

I don't think the US soaps take notice of that list if they did we'd probably still have 10 of them on the air instead of 4 clinging to life support.
As for your disaster only Brenda, Jai and Doug need to be killed off all other characters should survive.

I've made it better but one thing, why would Lawrence want to grow a beard? Is it because Ronnie's got one and he wants to match him? II think he's rather yummy and can't imagine him with one. I have googled it to see if searching for a new beard means anything else but I just ended up with loads of links about beards!
