I would love it if the brought in Tom Hardy to play Phil Mitchell while he does Panto
He could look like his character from the film The Revenant

Exactly... no time away. no awkward gaps... who could play Shirley while Linda Henry is off... Worzel Gummage died so thats a non-runner...

Jenna Russell could cover anyone on leave, sickness or refusing to return. She is a talented Broadway actress after all!
Don a blonde wig, wear excrutiating pink gear and imitate Anita Dobson's accent. Job's a good un - Linda

Quality idea, Sw. I think this is the best compromise all around. One actress playing anyone who's on leave makes it simple for the audience, and the directors already know how to direct the actress. It makes perfect sense.

Yes and annoying they all seem to have their babies at the same time!

I look forward to seeing Jenna's interpretation of Shirley (when she goes on her Greek holiday again) and Kim (curently off screen because of Strictly duty) but that's a spoiler sorry folks for Thursday's double episode.

It makes sense especially in these times of restricted budgets!!

Has Steve McFadden been off for Panto yet? I look forwards to seeing Jenna portray an ageing alcoholic bloke getting to grips with his new liver. I think she'd nail it.
Off topic slightly, but has Kellie Bright had her baby yet? I didn't hear any news about it and read she was due around winter time. And no to a temporary recast. Though it is unrealistic that Linda wouldn't briefly show up given Ollie's hospital appointment and Lee's situation
Do men get paternity leave on EE? I know in industry its now more and more common but I can't recall a male cast member taking paternity leave.

Why not rotate all the characters?

I almost wonder if it'd be possible to make the change mid-scene?

Sure. Why not? They recast her son shortly after the original actor left. Technically it should be okay to recast Linda very soon. Hopefully they hire a woman of colour to play her this time.
No, no and no.
If their idea of a good recast is how they've done it with Michelle, I dread to think what they'd do to poor Linda.

She and the other Carters have been so heavily featured in the last 2 years that a bit of a break won't be that bad.

It's part of the BBC's remit
I really think they should do this and made a thread on it myself. It makes no sense for characters not to comeback for funerals and weddings and stuff. Like Michelle in EE, great for those who want to see her back but why is she back now? Why didn't she come back when Pauline died? (Forgive me if I'm wrong as I'm not a huge fan but Pauline was Michelle's mother wasn't she?)

Corrie did that with Claire Peacock, the actress went on maternity leave but the character didn't actually leave the street. Claire was supposedly still living there with Ashley and the kids we just didn't see her onscreen for 6 months.

They should have got Jenna Russell in to plug the gap... so to speak
