Just read in the Sun online that the actor playing Joe has quit.

Maybe he'll be killed off at Halloween?

A pity

Juicy Joe was the only tolerable Roscoe...and very tasty too.

So Freddie will be the only Roscoe left, I hardly watch the show but how on earth has he managed to stick around so long?

I think it was good guess from the spoilers that Joe was going in the stunt, shame they revealed it though as it takes away any suspense.

I hope Freddie is next to go. Goodbye Roscoes.

Wonder if this influenced the way they took Joe and Mercedes.

Not too fussed with this. I think Joe was the second strongest Roscoe (after Robbie) not that's saying much. He's also one of the most stupid characters I've ever seen.

Who's going to have the kids though? In the McQueen baby cupboard perhaps, or will Sandy take them off screen? I can't imagine Freddie taking them.

Joe was very tasty too bad he is the one leaving. Why can't old non acting bug eyes go?

No he isn't he is an Osbourne as in Jacks son.

Sandy's married name was Roscoe. That does not make Darren one

He's an Osborne through and through.

Jack and Celia raised him, they're his parents, despite a crappy rewrite and retcon from Kirkwood and chums.

I think Kirkwood was a fan of Kathy on EastEnders and wanted a way to emulate that by forcing her to be an important character on Hollyoaks. Bit of a failure though with Taylforth being unimpressive and then jumping ship for a return from the dead plot at Eastenders.

That's a shame. He and Ziggy were the only roscoes I ever liked and it looks like both will be killed off.

Shame, he was one of only two Roscoes I liked (Ziggy being the other one). Hope he isn't killed off, he's one of the few likeable characters on HO. And so Mercedes' revolving door of men continues.

I guess Ayden wants to move on after three years and/or spend more time with his family (he has a child and he recently got married).

Even if there's more departures coming up, I can't see Kirkwood doing anything more with the Roscoes as a family unit. They've dropped like flies since last Christmas, and there's zero chance of Sandy making an odd appearance as Gillian is on EastEnders full time. It just seems like he's moved on from them now.

Freddie has more or less turned into a standalone character and will probably get absorbed into the Nightingales. The weird thing is that he's become more watchable since Lindsey was killed off. He works surprisingly well around Ellie and Warren despite not being a particularly strong actor. If Joe leaves without the kids, I assume Freddie's next storyline will be having to take responsibility for them.

I still never understood why Darren became related to them. It wasn't even used. So out of all the Roscoes the only one left is the least likeable and the worst acted.

A shame, I liked his relationship with Mercedes up until Joanne got involved. Although Freddie has actually been tolerable since the Lindsey stuff ended and they started using him less, but I doubt he'll leave since Kirkwood thinks the stars shine out of his bulging eyes.

Hooray. Dreadful wooden actor and boring character. Now we just need to get rid of Freddie too.

Which is never gonna happen when "he's such a great actor" paraphrasing Kirkwood. So the male mcqueens only lasted 3 years thats pretty short.
Totally off-topic well kinda related I was watching chicago fire the other day Craig was in it with an American accent which actually wasnt bad guess he really will never return

I really wanted Mercedes and Joe to get back together
