Imagine your a soap actor and the producers decide it is best you leave as your character has run their course. The producers nicely give you the chance to decide on your exit. It could be whenever and however you want. You may also take one/two characters with you if you please but it must be realistic (well soapland realism ).

So how would you go?

I think i would go on the run from the police after being found guilty for Sean Slaters murder, before dying in an explosion in The Queen Vic.

Bring back the EE Cardboard fairgound and have me and Ian Beale in it, with no Den Watts around we would surely perish!

I'd quite like to do it in style, like Kimberley in Melrose Place.

Plant a bomb or three in whichever soap, stand there, say something witty and detonate the bombs. Taking a few extras and plebby cast members with me of course.

There would be a fire in the B&B on EE, Bert and the ASBO kid would buy the farm too, Yolande's wig however would manage to get out.

Stacey Slater and myself get banged up for theft. She's been in dire straights since she started deserting her stall at every available opportunity to sleep with half the square. In the meantime, she's lost half her stock. She enlists me as an accomplice to help her restock her stall with 'quality' items from Pat's jewellery box, but goes one further and decides that Chelsea's wardrobe is where she'll make her money. Shockingly, Squiggle has been hiding out and has seen the whole thing. She calls the cops and I'm caught red handed making off with Pat's best earrings. We're both taken down the station, but Deano comes to my defence and says he saw the whole thing. I'm off the hook, but Stacey's had it. The last you see, is me and Deano driving 'up north' in a car from the lot and a boot full of Chelsea's handbag collection to sell off for parts as we go And we get the extended theme tune at the end too! (I got a bit too into that! But must say I enjoyed it!)

Now that would be good, she was amazing, pity we don't have anyone like her nowadays. Thankfully I can watch her on DH in two minutes.

I'm a bit alarmed by this thread.

I would like to go out in a style, maybe fall off a balcony and land on a passing car that is driving through.

I'd only ever stay in a soap for 3 -5 Years and then I would bow out! It would probably be Accidental Suicide! I'd take a cocktail of Drugs and then smash my head of a table after falling over. This would knock the candle over starting a fire. I would perish and so would my Rescuer Jamie Baldwin!

Hmmm one of two ways...

1. Would like to be shot!

2. Train comes crashing off the bridge in Bridge Street and killed when the Vic Collapses after I save someone.

I wouldn't mind dying in an explosion or being murdered but I would prefer to fake my death for whatever reason and just go abroad having people think I'm dead especially my on screen family. Now that would be good.

I think I'd like to be shot or stabbed, something dramatic like that. Or in some kind of crash. Oh my days, do I sound sick or what? I hope I'm not tempting fate.

Lure your arch soap nemesis to a rooftop (if your Ian, take Phil, if you're Pauline, take Sonia), make sure that you have plenty of witnesses, start a loud argument with your nemesis and pretend that he / she pushed you over. You might be dead, but your rival would go down for life. Or, if it's Eastenders, they'd probably be out again in six months.

I would be hit over the head with a spade by my nemesis and buried alive in my own coffin... the only thing is I've recorded a video revealing my killer's identity and secrets about all the local people that I had been using to blackmail then with. The mysterious video is lost and will one day be uncovered by an unsuspecting character leading to my own plot from beyond the grave. However, the last thing you see of me is me waking up inside the coffin - I'm not dead yet, but can I escape?

I think that would be quite an exciting way to go.

And if it's decided that I do die, then I may return as a ghost/hallucination of my killer to haunt her and drive her mad with guilt.

Cheery stuff

I am awarded the Nobel Peace Prize and go to live in Hawaii after castrating Max and thus doing all the women of the world a huge favour.

I would want to be fatally wounded in an accident (that doesn't ruin my face), with perhaps a blood flow that needs staunching, in my lover's arms in a long, drawn-out tearful goodbye, expelling my last breath as the ambulance siren is heard approaching. Possibly in a light drizzle. With a montage of my key moments over the end credits.

I would dig up some secrets about david platt and then burn down the rovers, steal Liam Connors car and drive off into the sunset

I think my character would join a cult and we'd be on a mission to persuade others from the Square to join us. We would all then have a mass suicide in the Vic! That means I could take the whole sorry lot of them with me!!

I think id plant a bomb, blow up half of cornation street, go on the run and then get caught! I rhink that'd be an exciting way to go. Plus the blast would kill Deidre, blanche, liz, adam and Sally Webster!

You'd never persuade Dot!

she'll die from lung cancer

So.. after Bumblesquat's suicide pact Eastenders would consist of Dot chain smoking herself to death alone on the square. I like it!

I would be a considerate psychopath who would come in & finally decide that Ben Mitchell needed teaching a lesson. I take him back to the top of that railway bridge on a dark, stormy night to rid the world of the little brat once & for all.

Unfortunately for me Abi Branning witnesses the scene & rushes to tell her father. He can't get in touch with Phil (who's out with Stella) so rushes up to save Ben himself. In the ensuing struggle, with deafening thunder claps & raindrops pelting us, I manage to send Max & Ben flying into the path of an oncoming train, ridding the world of the vile creatures for good.

As an act of poetic justice, a lightning bolt severs some sort of sharp pole from above. It impales me right through the heart, coming out the other side, resulting in near instantaneous death.

The End.

I would have to have my character killed off during a plot that has many twists and turns, it would turn out that my character had been helping the villian do the blackmailing, faking a hostage situation and making it look as if i were killed by the villian. Except I would appear back on screen later in the episode and the audience fing out it was a fake death, the villian splits the money with my character and he drives off in his car....
It's then revealed that the money was to help a character ( my former best mate) who was on the run for a murder he didn't commit, as i meet him in a rundown building in woodland somewere, after i give him the money he says that nobody can know where he is and the only way is for me to die, with saying this he stabs me in the stomach. I cry out and so does he as we both have been friends for years ( this would shock audiences), after a tearful talk he runs away with the money, my character just lays on the ground bleeding. My screen family will by now think i died in the hostage situation but really im dying in woodland and it takes a week for my body to be found. Also a few more characters would have been killed during the episode as the hostage situation caused an explosion at first in the restaurant that the news years party was being held in.

lol got a bit carried away lol

I'd leave Emmerdale in style, you know. Have a great ending and have a cheesey song playing as I drive out of the village forever.

I'd leave Neighbours by a scary death plot, and make sure all the residents don't forget me the following week like they seem to do normally. But there is no way I'd land a job in Adelaide and move there.

Of course if I left Eastenders I'd have a slow and dramatic exit, followed by the special sad theme, that Only kat and alfie seemed to have the privilage of leaving alive.

I'd leave Corrie in a Taxi.... a black one, because I'm speical.

BUTTT

I'd leave Hollyoaks instyle. A illicit love afair with JP, and Craig. A hour special just for me, and no shoddy end sequence or quick exit like Becca. Jp & Craigs love the result of my medeling, lands me in in danger, losing everything, and sleeping with Sarah, getting her pregnant, then jumping off ill gnosh wat ever its called screaming JP's name as I fall.. I'd shoot Sonny and Calvin on the way down of course, and expose will and tell Zoe she is boring, but everyone would miss me. At least Sarah would have my child.....


im bored..... hmmmm

I guess in the end of it... id just get tht job in adelaide.... hmmm
