Results:Which longer Standing Characters would you Axe?
Sharon Mitchell (and Dennis)
Ronnie Mitchell (and Matthew)
I'd axe the easy newer underdeveloped because New characters are pointless
I'd axe some of the returnees (actor returns like Stacey, Sonia)
I'd axe some returnees (recasted like Ben, Johnny, Steven, Martin)
Voters: 93. You can't vote on this poll right now - are you signed in?
Which Long-term Character would you axe from Eastenders?
So put of everyone that has been in the show prior to 2014. I will include 2013 characters such as Mick and Linda. Recasted characters also not included so no Ben, Steven or Johnny. I will add a section towards returnees, recasts and Newer characters but as they are easier picks I'm less interested in who out of those you'd axe.
Poll being added.

It's Multiple choice
I would axe myself: (reason included)
Jane (although should have been in the returnee section) - Can't stand her. Vile character.
Dot - More for June's health sake really
Mick - Can't stand him or the actor.
Whitney: Ran her course imo.
The Listed Mitchells (bar Jay) as all of them apart from Ben, Jay and Honey (2 of which are in the return section anyway) I can't stand. Billy has long since passed his sell by date and should have been axed years ago. How he is still around I don't know. Phil and Ronnie are both vile and I can't stand either of the controlling bullies. Roxy has ran her course and needs keeping away from Ronnie.and Sharon is a doormat and she and Phil make each other worse and more unbearable.
Patrick, Denise and Kim: Honestly beginning to feel like Patrick has little to stick around for and has ran his course. Denise can be dull but occasionally is great but she is dull most of the time. Kim is just annoying.

Thought Billy and Roxy would also be in your firing line? xD
Masood as he has no purpose in the square now
Dead Kathy would be returning to her grave if I was given an axe to wield.
her, donna and claudette
I think Lady Di should be murdered by one of the residents, in a classic who done it case, running two years.

Why?
I didn't even know you were in EE to be honest.
Easy: Sharon, Womanchild Carter, and McBeale.

I'll tell you now...Ollie did it!
Why is Matthew grouped with Ronnie, its something that rarely happens on the show?

Masood, Ian Lauren and the majority of the returnees can stay along with characters from 2014 onwards xD
Just so happens it's mostly characters who have been in for years I can't stand or Ran their course xD
It seems SOC is taking the easy option

Characters introduced during the last producers era should be immune as its always them

Because although introduced he would have to leave if Ronnie did most likely being his only on screen parent and he would be sent to Charlie should Ronnie die. Same reason why Amy and others are listed (just realised I forgot Ollie and Kamil)

Oops badly worded :P
Lets fix that "I myself would axe (reasons included):"
I wish I was in EE though :P
Lauren - annoying character
Ronnie - needs her comeuppance for what she has done, sick of her getting away with everything
Sharon or Kim, although Masood has no purpose staying on the Square anymore.
All the Carters except Linda.
Whitney has also served her purpose, whatever that was.
Billy Mitchell is no longer relevant, Whitney is meaningless now too. The new Johnny is blander than milk and Lee Carter isn't great either. Move them on along with The Mitchell sisters.
Why axe whitney? don't get it.. she is the biggest young star they've got for the future.

Whitney is wasted with Lee.
Jane, Abi, Lauren, Kim, Whitney, Tina, Shirley, Billy and Ronnie.
Tina I can see going once her and Sonia inevitability split for good in the future [probably in a way that makes Tina look extremely shallow - not that she isn't a bit - aka Sonia getting both or a one breast removed leading her to cheat / have an affair]. She certainly doesn't seem to fit with the rest of the square anymore [when she does rarely appear].
I'd move Whitney on too [hopefully with a healthy baby, following the inevitable initial STD scare]. She doesn't deserve to be lumbered with Lee, I mean, I feel for the guy [as I suffer with depression too], but they look like they've been growing apart long before the Abi / Mick / Baby stuff, imho. Best for both of them to nip it in the bud soon as.
Also Mas soon. He just seems to be hanging around pinning for another woman [if it's not Denise, it'll be Carmel] every other month now.
