It feels like too many characters are being axed or the wrong ones. For me I would axe the following:

Masood - pointless boring character
Kush - doesn't do anything
Vincent - not even a villian anymore which was the main purpose before
Abi - just a whingy character

I'd bring back:
Grant more regularly
Sam - Kim Medcalf actress
Bianca
Carol
David Wicks
Ricky
ClaireBates - so fit with nice cleavage
Sean Slater
Ryan Malloy Permanently and
Michelle Fowler - original actress or recast

People's thoughts ?

they should axe KIm ! I mean, would Vincent even look at her in real life? one should think she was a "babe" i.e. had something on someone, and is kept on for not revealing.

no, not Vincent please, but bring back Janine, I'm sure she could hit it off with Vincent, and make Kim leave the square.

I'm actualy excited about the axings it means the new producer must have plans for new characters, hopefully ones more interesting than the kezumis, kyle and the hubbarbs.

YES, back for a stint in 2008 - remember the face, but not much else. But yes, could be interesting to have back.

Now R+R have been axed, I'd welcome Sam but only Kim Medcalf not Daniela Westbrook.

No to Ryan or Bianca, thanks.

Ryan is terminally dull and Bianca's last stint was horrible. She was great in the 90s though.

Sean and Michelle aren't gonna be back, especially Michelle Tully. Rob Kazinsky might make a guest appearance but given his schedule in America I don't think he sees a reason to be back permanently.

Of that list, I'd love to see Carol, David and maybe Clare back if they can find a way to write her in again and she agrees to return.

Personally I thought they should've brought back Carly or Zsa Zsa for the Carters, not this dull replacement new Johnny.

There always axings under new producers, so this is really no different

But the people you have listed on who you want to come back, you need to consider whether these actors want to come back

Ross Kemp is a busy man. His intense schedule is why his appearances have been all over the place
Patsy lives in the US
Lindsey is working on a new crime drama
Michael French never intended to do EE long term anyway.
Rob Kazinsky is busy in the US
Neil Mcdermott does a lot of a musical theatre
Gemma Bissex didn't enjoy her time on EE and last i heard, she is busy being a new mum

exactly, moving back into her own house, thus kicking Sonia & Tina out - and Sonia is leaving anyway - maternity leave. Janine gets friendly with Vincent - and Kim leaves (about time and all) - and everybody is happy ever after

Were the actresses who played Ronnie and Roxy definitely axed or did they decide to leave?

That's not the impression I got from the press release and I say that's someone that has provided flannel for a couple of corporate press releases in the past.

When you're offered an exit storyline chances are you were given it.

Not sure enough are being written out. Still a lot of deadwood that has been there a long, long time gathering dust. How does Billy Mitchell keep surviving the cast cull? Shakil can't act. Why is he still there?

Idk but hopefully SOC has some good stories ahead or else he might as well have done no axing at all.

For me the axings would be:
Shakil Kazemi
Elaine Peacock
Sharon Mitchell
Send Phil on a 12 month break because he needs resting lets be honest!
Kim
Billy
Whitney

I'd rebuild the Masods with AJ and Zainab for now and bring back Shabnam later on and maybe bring Fatima and her kids full time.

I'd also see Libby or Chelsea back full time for Denise. And make Anthony recurring for Patrick.

I'd give Johnny the Sam Mitchell treatment and bring my MYJohnny. I'd also bring Zsa Zsa back to give Tina a storyline and I always wanted to see the communicate on screen.

I would bring back any of Cora's daughters when she returns as she needs one around. Of it's Ava have Dexter killed and she turns to Cora for support.

The show needs new blood. Returns are rarely a success. Besides you can't drag actors kicking and screaming back to the show.

Phil and Sharon need to take a nice long holiday.

With R&R gone a Lisa and Mel return would both really work well.
