I know there's been a million and one threads on it already, but I thought I'd do it again. With SOC taking over there's bound to be axings - who would you personally have on your list?

Buster Briggs, Andy Flynn, Les and Pam Coker have all been confirmed to leave already.

I'd axe:
Donna Yates - pointless and boring
Vincent Hubbard - had potential but has been sidelined. Could work as a Kim type character who provides humour but I'd rather RB save his pride rather than carry on being sidelined.
Babe Smith - pure filth. Although judging by the latest Sunday spoilers this may already be happening...
Claudette Hubbard - although I'd like to see the feisty Claudette cause a bit more drama, i can see her leaving eventually. With Les and Pam going, she's already lost two of her closest interactions. Maybe introduce some more of her foster kids - Ellen Thomas did say this when she started the show but it never happened!!
Lee Carter - boring character. His depression SL didn't deliver and this affair one shows he just gets generic storylines. I'm bored of Lee and I think it's time to call it a day. I'd keep Whitney though, and put her in a new direction as an independent business woman. Maybe a new, genuine boyfriend who doesn't cheat on her!
Jack Branning - whilst he has Ronnie and Max is set to return soon, I don't see why Jack returned - what is his purpose on the show?! He also seems to me one dimensional which is boring.
Shakil Kazemi - annoying. Can't stand him. Bex deserves better. Axe Shakil, keep Carmel and Kush, and introduce Darius and Umar.

Bex deserves better? She ruined Jay's life when she really didn't need to. Awful woman.

I really hope noone axes Aunt Babe. Her scenes this week were fantastic. And the actress acts the part so convincingly and realistically, that for me, she was only the one worth watching this week!

Please give Kim the Chop... and the steak and kidneys!
Can't take seriously any scene she's in.

Possibly most of DTC creations baring the main Carters, it probably won't happen straight away but he probably do a DTC and slowly wheedle them out as they say last in, first out.

It's getting to a point where they could axe half of the cast. The vast majority of DTC's characters are rubbish.

Shakil has been a major flop.

There is a bigger chance of Claudette, Vincent & Donna being axed than Kim and Kim is awful.

Jack should sleep with Belinda. Ronnie finds out and murders him. She is arrested and sent to prison. Roxy and Amy move to live with Glenda. Billy and zhoney move into Ronnies house.

Lee and Whitney leave to run Elaines bar.

Tina can bog off somewhere and stay there.

Louise needs to go back to Lisa.

Do you think Ronnie & Roxy should be axed?

Get the feeling the show is going younger again and quite a few older characters may go

I can't see it happening though.

Roxy should go not sure about Ronnie.

Who is your favourite character at the moment?

I heard they tried that operation once before, six hours later and Jack walked out of the operating theatre untouched, and six of the nurses were pregnant.

Ronnie
Roxy
Lauren
Donna
Phil could take a long break
Lee
Masood if not with Carmel
Shakil
Kyle
Louise
Jane & Ian could take a long break on a round the world cruise
Bring back Bobby, Janine and David Wicks

Kyle hasn't done much yet.

They need to axe him or expand his family.

Denise Welch was excellent in her one episode stint as his Mother Alison.

There is no way the likes of Lauren will be axed

Yes I agree but I would get rid. Unstable Abi is preferable to her older sister (when she can act mind you. I find Lorna hit and miss sometimes).

I don't think there's much of a need for whole sale axings at the moment, the only thing I hope is that Kat and Alfie dont return after their spinoff series, they literally haven't been missed whatsoever

I don't see many after Les & Pam.

Instead of axing a bunch, why not make the current ones interesting and do actual good storylines.
