Some of you seem to be confused about who was axe in ee and who has left on their own will.
Well here we go. The people who were axe was=

Mark= Todd Carty

Lisa= Lucy Benjermen

Roy= Tony Caunter (But it was a jointed decision between Tony and the producers)

Tom= Colm

The characters who left on their own will was=

Trevor= Alex Ferns

Jamie= Jack Ryder

The people who are taking a break BUT WILL BE BACK are=

Dot Braning= June Brown (to return in January)

Peggy= Barbra Winsor (to return in May 2003)

Sharon Watts= Letitia Dean (to return at the end of January)

I hope this cleared some confusion about who was axe and who was not.

Thanks lala. They are not going to be left with too many characters are they ? New characters that they may bring in do not always work out !

Wrong, she's taking 12 month break from May 2003.
