Lee still on - but no Jack

Jack is on the Radio times site after New years day looking very sad.

9th: Ricky & Amy at the bottom, with Max - funeral ?

and that's till now the children's last appearance

Surley they Won't kill Jack.??

if we're to trust the lists, Jack's last appearance is 1st Jan ..

Maybe Jack "goes away for a bit" in order to get his head back together.

Gawd knows what happens to the kids though. Palmed off onto someone no doubt.

judging by the cast list 9th Jan they're right at the bottom with Max (max-ricky-amy) always shown in order of appearance aren't they ? if correct, they're the last we see.

but the cast lists can be one big con - as I wrote elsewhere - on the night Emma Summerhayes was run down, I looked at the cast list - and she was in it for the next 4 or so episodes - but was never seen again ...

unless Ronnie and Roxy disappear - we know they are dead or not as the case may be - Jack is out looking for them, so out of the square visits mother Glenda which explains her showing up again, Max has conveniently reappeared just in time to look after the children?

Jack wpuld not be missed for me

I'm not arsed about Jack but how much longer do we have to put up with Lee? Give us strength.

I think they have got a difficulty with Lee with Linda being away for at least the next few months, if he dies it is totally unrealistic that she would choose to stay with her mother and not come back for the funeral at least, and likewise if he just disappears unless of course all these scenes have long since been filmed or he secretly flees to spain and only linda knows where he is

As a character, Lee is boring as hell and not worth the air he breathes. He can't go too soon for my liking.

What was wrong with my existing thread on the exact same subject?

That's a very good point. She would never miss that, so that makes Lee's death less likely. A disappearance is more of a possibility.

or behind bars - in a prison or in a mental hospital ward

Yes that's true. He could be bumped off once Linda returns.

The kids and recurring characters (like Derek) are nearly always shown at the end of the credits.

Exceptions are like Kamil's last episode he was billed second from top and Libby seems to be credited with the main cast.

However, the lists aren't done in appearance order, nor are they in reverse order as is popular belief.

Unless they have changed their minds, Lee's exit won't be his own death

you were right about being random order - tried to write tonight's first ten in order of appearance - here's the cast list and then my list

Bbc first ten

Lee Carter
Whitney Carter
Tina Carter (don't recall seeing her ???)
Mick Carter
Sharon Mitchell
Roxy Mitchell
Ronnie Mitchell
Jack Branning
Dot Branning
Max Branning

Episode first ten

Stacey
Martin
Lee
Dot & Ethel
Abi
Roxy
Ronnie
Whitney
Mcchelle
Jack
Carmel
Kush

The cast lists aren't in orde of appearance, it's always who gets the duff duff who is at the top, hence Lee being top tonight, as regards to Jack he is around next Tuesday

excuse me, but what does "gets the duff duff" mean ?

The person who gets the last scene before we hear the theme tune at the end.

I see, thanks

so for exmaple, tomorrow Roxy is at the top of the credits so will get the ending, she will also get the ending on New Year's day according to the credits, but i imagine that will be a joint scene with Ronnie
