Wow SOC is axing people left and right I think that Lee's character is a bit boring so won't be that sad about him leaving. There will probably be wedding drama in November between he and Whitney which causes him to leave Walford.

I don't mind Whitney but I don't see a purpose for her on the Square now that Bianca and Carol are gone. A pregnant Whitney could get her happy ever after and leave with Lee.

Wonder if this means Whitney loses the baby, surely he would stick around if she was still pregnant

I think it's a shame likeable characters with potential such as Lee and the Cokers are being written out while the likes of Claudette, Louise and Shakil remain. Lee isn't even the most expendable of the Carters - Tina and Sylvie are. And I like Babe but I'd sooner see her go before Lee.

Don't get me wrong other than Ronnie, who's completely played out, none of those going are big names and anything to be overly concerned about but they're some of the least offensive characters in the cast, even if to some they don't add much. There's more obvious choices IMO in characters who are actively offputting.

If SOC wanted to streamline the Carters he should've started with Tina.

It's inexplicable that anyone could sit there deciding who to axe and somehow manage to axe anyone whilst the actor playing Shakil is still employed.

Good decision. The character is deadwood. I've agreed with all of SOC's axings so far. Clearly he won't be worshipping at the Carter shrine DTC created. Hopefully Tina and Johnny are next and then rubbish like Carmel and Pinhead can bog off.

It's quiet telling who he is axing, he really is going for it.

There are far worse character granted but at this point looks like everyone is game.

Looking like a EE blood bath is coming.

He may yet axe those characters.

I like Lee but I can see what you mean. However, I blame the writers and producers. Lee's another one they brought in and did very little with. A character is only as good as the storylines they are given.

I can see why he's been targeted but it's not an encouraging sign that SOC saw him as dispensable over the likes of Tina, Shakil and Claudette.

I still think Tina & Shakil will be axed.

What is it exactly that people don't like about Tina and Claudette? I don't understand as I love them both and I personally feel Claudette outshines Babe as a villain anyday, and If I had to see one of the two villains go I'd rather it be Babe.

I am very interested to see who else is gonna get the chop - As others have already stated I also believe this is only the beginning of a brutal blood bath

Those characters could still be axed. I don't mind Claudette personally but Vincent and Donna are rubbish.

I doubt Lee was ever going to recover from letting his pregnant girlfriend think she'd given him and their baby the clap. I was certainly never going to forget it.

Sean O'Connor took out a Carter! Lee was mostly crap though wasn't he? Please axe Johnny. Ted Reilly is amateur dramatics bad in the role. Shakil must go too because he's the worst actor in the whole show.

Interestingly it's another DTC character.

Yes I agree, I think Tina and Shakil will be obvious choice next for the door, perhaps Lee will play apart in Linda's temp exit.

I'm unsure what they going to do with the Hubbards, still surprising Richard Blackwood is still there considering how reduce his character has become.

I'm a bit disappointed he's leaving EastEnders and I am slightly concerned about O'Connor's era because he's axing likeable characters aka Lee, Roxy, Pam and Les for example. I hope he keeps Johnny but Ted isn't a strong actor but they need to give him some stronger storylines.. I fear for Whitney's future and it'd be a shame to lose her.

DTC's characters are mostly crap failures. I'd axe them too if I were EP.

DTC axed all the characters created by his predecessors Newman and Kirkwood despite the fact some of them were actually decent. I can't say the same for many of DTC's creations. Go SOC!

Not sure why anyone would want Johnny axed off the back, Ted has just gotten on and hasn't even had a storyline as of yet.

The Lee axing was also stupid as there could've been more to expound on with him.

But if he's going to keep axing then take Ben out.
