Oh I imagine that was a very convenient leak.
People will tune in to see this.It just shows how desperate the show has become now. Its like DTC's work, the very person people have been slagging now for his redoing the shows greatest hits, now they've recast arguably the biggest character in the shows history. Wouldn't it be great if the show could actually create some great new characters so they wouldn't need to keep relying on bringing back old characters because they've run out of ideas.

My thoughts exactly. They know the show is getting slated all over the media and social media and with xmas and the new year they will have deliberately planted this leak to get people watching.

She is, but she's not Michelle. Too many recasts now its getting silly. I fully expect a recast Sam Mitchell to pop up next year now.
![]() Re: Sam. I wouldn't be surprised if - given Sean O'Connor's work on EE in the early 00s - we see Kim back at some point next year. As you know I never really bought into Kim as 'Sam Mitchell'. But that doesn't mean I didn't like her as the different character I saw her as. In fact I loved the Den storyline from spring 2005 right up to Chrissie's arrest and her part in it (though I still say Chrissie made it). So whilst I wouldn't necessarily want it it wouldn't negatively affect my viewing experience. I know I staunchly defend Danniella on here but that's because she gets way too much hate, some of it quite personal. Somebody has to give the poor girl a break. Anyway this isn't about Sam.

On the eve of xmas is convenient timing though don't you think? Yes things do get leaked but then again they have embargoed so much of the xmas and new year storyline, surely this is a deliberate leak.

I'm hyped for this and confident that SOC can pull it off.
The time is now. Enough time has passed. Let's hope Jenna is committed long-term. |

Well we can't put words in Letitia's mouth but she was out at the theatre with Jenna recently so that suggests there's no animosity there.
I'm pretty sure Susan Tully will have given her blessing for this recast as well. |

Very interesting news, and a ballsy decision from SOC. I think it may pay off.
I wonder if Mark Jr will be back with her? If you're going to recast her then make sure the actor is a good un'. Now they have a Laurence Olivier award winner and Tony nominated actress added to the cast! It will take time to get used to Russell, but I think it will work. Shame it was leaked so it ruined the surprise. I feel for SOC that despite embargos, his stories are being leaked regardless. Like R&R. |

There was talk of another character besides Max, returning at Christmas.
Now THIS I wasn't expecting. And I fully support SOC's decision to bring back the character of Michelle with a new head. After a gap of two decades, I think viewers should be open minded enough to let another actor take on the role. It's becoming more common in the soaps on this side of the pond. In Oz, they recast at the drop of a hat, even when an actor is taken ill! boom, a new head comes in and carries on the storyline. I wish Jenna all the luck in the world, she is a fabulous and very credible signing for EastEnders. |

Ridiculous decision.
Michelle is one of the shows most iconic characters. There was no need to recast her in my opinion. Martin and Ben fair enough, they were not iconic, but I really don't get a good vibe from this. |

I'll keep an open mind on this, and wait to see the 'new' Michelle in action but I have to be honest and say that I am not keen on the last being recast. Michelle is iconic, and it would be like recasting Phil Mitchell or dot cotton. having said that, I didn't want a 'new' Martin but fair play to James bye I think he's done a great job. if Michelle's only in for a few episodes then it might be OK, but longer than that and it's going to be a hard sell.

The only issue I have with a Michelle recast is that it didn't happen earlier. Her returning now, after all the other times she should have been there but couldn't, means she must have a damn good reason.

Please don't put her with Max. I'm excited about Jenna joining but that would kill it for me.
