Which characters do you think will have gone by 2021, what will their exit storylines have been?

Kylie will be gone by then easily - Callum's body being found being the obvious exit storyline

William Roache, Eileen Derbyshire and Barbara Knox will all be clocking on for 90. I'm sure at least one of them will have left with their character having an off-screen death.

Simon barlow with any luck.

Emily Bishop
Paula Lane
Tim Metcafle
Johnny Connor
Kate Connor
Sinead Tinker

I agree with all of these except Tim, I think he has enough characters around him if he was to split up with Sally.

I think Ken,Rita or Emily will be gone.

I hope all the Connors go.

Sean- NOT

If Queen Kate is to be believed she is not axing any characters and as this is quite a kushy number and well paid, I don't see many exits as many of the actors are happy and comfortable just plodding along, getting the odd decent storyline along the way and ordering a hot pot and a pint, popping into see Rita for a quarter of sherbet lemons or pretending to afford eating a fancy meal and drinking cocktails in the Bistro. Perhaps Paula Lane, as she has just fell pregnant again (this must be a nightmare for the production only just coming back from maternity leave.) I can see her getting sent down for Callum and being out of the soap a good few years. The only other exits will be down to ill health or death and not by choice.

this waste of space will will stay longer than ken barlow,he must know where all the skelitons are buried,it not for his acting skills

Kylie
Erica
Izzy
Johnny

I think the following will have gone

- Ken
- Rita
- Emily (I suspect won't return)
- Aiden
- Kylie
- Sarah
- Bethany
- Jenny
- Luke
- Steph
- The whole Nazir family
- Robert
- Michael (know he is taking a break but I think he won't stay long if he returns)

One thing for sure, Sean, Michelle, Tyrone and Fiz will still be sticking like shit to a bucket

Kate - any lover of Sophie has a maximum of a 2 year lifespan left on the show.

Kylie
Robert

I think:

Kylie (just been confirmed by ITV)
Robert (either murdered by Tracy/Carla or arrested)
Jenny (probably arrested after murdering someone)
Aiden, Caz, Johnny and Kate (don't know how, just can't see them lasting)
Erica (goes to run a new bar in Spain or something)
Billy (goes to travel the world, Sean stays behind)
Todd (London again?)
Emily (doubt we'll see her again)
Sinead (to pursue a career elsewhere)
The Nazirs (Sharif will die and the others will go)

So basically all of SB's creations or returnees!

Unsure about Dev, Izzy and Gary
