I think they might just want to strip EE to the basics (Pauline, Ian, Dot etc) and start again - which is ridiculous. I mean, all these characters leaving, and all these new characters being brought in. It's ridiculous -- I mean, characters leaving and arriving is fine, but someone might want to remind JY and KH of the meaning of gradual :rolleyes:
JY and KH also need reminding that it's us fans that watch the show so maybe for once they could start listening to us and what we want
everyone is left/leaving, something has happened down at the bbc!
Shall io tell you what EE hasn't been the same since that Bloody kate Harwood started, i havent liked ever since well the start i reckon its down to her!
(i need someone to blame,) oh and the writers (apart from sarah phelps i like her!)

You'd have thought the reaction to the Moons axing would have done that, but...I guess if Nigel wants to leave it's his own decision and they or we can't do anything about it, but I can't shake the feeling that there's more to it than that.

Its all very suspicious. Albert Square will be a ghost town - there'll be no one left. We'll have to cope with the mitchells and Frank Butcher!
Kate Harwood seems to have ruined the show as far as I'm concerned axing characters such as Jake and Danny although Jake was reprived and as for the scripts the only person to blame for them is the person who comes up with the rubbish ideas in the first place and as Kate Harwood has an overall say in it all I'll blame her
We should start a petion Layne and get rid of her he he at least that will make us feel a little bit better

Great idea she'll ove me for that! I think she took a disliking to me when i did my other one, look i'll start one now!!!
The story is also in the breaking news section on the board under entertainment I still can't believe it I truly believe this might be the begginning of the end I know it sounds stupid but I can't see what else it could be
eastenders mad
13-08-2005, 12:41
what they are getting rid of them both. Nigel always comes and goes when at ee i think he should leave cause when he has an argument with someone he leaves for ages then comes back.
you could tell Letita would come back but what would she be like when she comes back without her husband???
Great idea she'll ove me for that! I think she took a disliking to me when i did my other one, look i'll start one now!!!

I think right now EE are going to be gambling everything on the new characters and the Mitchells and hoping it will be pay off. :rolleyes:
I think I'm going to wait and see whether Jake is leaving or not, and if he is, I might be done. I don't mind characters like Pauline and Ian and I think EE does need these established characters, but they're not the characters that make me want to watch it every night. I could cope with them all leaving in bits, and giving me time to get attached to new characters, but all in the space of two months...no.
yeah got tickets last minute but yeah me and angeldelight are going
Alison tell her I'm sorry and I'll see her later

Don't you think that's a bit extreme, the Mitchells will be in it, well at least Peggy anyway, are you not a fan?
I love Dennis, I think Nigel Harman is a brilliant actor and his character has a lot of scope in my opinion. Although I believe it's right when people say nobody is bigger than the show. After all he's only been in it for, well I don't think it's even been 3 years yet, has it?
I will miss him a lot, but whenever a character we love leaves, everybody thinks they won't get over it, and somebody else comes in to take their place. There's been a lot of unique characters which have given something different to the show, it's a shame when any of them leave but life in the square goes on.
BlackKat
13-08-2005, 14:01
I am not looking forward to the Mitchell show at all.
For me, it's not that a character it's leaving - I can cope with that, it's that a big group of them are in what appears to be a mass exodus and something about that bugs.

Nooooooooo!!! Cant believe Dennis is leaving!! :eek: :crying:
I think the show is in real trouble now. Neither Nigel or Tish were great actors but both were great to watch.
While I dont think they are "bigger than the show", along with the other characters who have left or are due to leave, ee has a massive slater, moon, shannis sized gap.
The question is, will the big mitchell comeback be enough to fill the gap? I personally dont think so.....
Although i love the mitchells, they have only managed to get Grant back for a few weeks and with sam leaving as well that only leaves phil and peggy. And i think phil will be having a break to do panto around christmas as well, wont he?
I think after shannis leave, ee will definately lose a lot of viewers (unless of course Grant comes back for GOOD!! :cheer: )

13-08-2005, 14:23
Here's a bit of a miserable solution, but keeps Sharon and Dennis together (sort of). Perhaps Dennis will go down for Dalton's murder, which Sharon knows about anyway, and she will probably stick by him. Then the door is open (kind of) for Nigel to return, and at least Sharon and Dennis won't split up. They'll still be married, we just won't see him (or them) on screen any more.
It just won't be the same without him though!!
:crying: :crying: :crying:
I have been listening to BBC Radio one today and Sara Cox has been talking bout how they are noth leaving (she is a big Nigel fan), so if she is allowed to talk about it maybe it is true? you would'nt think the Beeb would let speculation on their own shows if it not tru

Oh well there goes Eastenders's crown for best soap once they have gone. Nigel Harman is one of the only reasons i watch Eastenders, and now all the best characters are going its gonna be rubbish
The show must and will go on :p
everyone is left/leaving, something has happened down at the bbc!
Shall io tell you what EE hasn't been the same since that Bloody kate Harwood started, i havent liked ever since well the start i reckon its down to her!
(i need someone to blame,) oh and the writers (apart from sarah phelps i like her!)
It's not Kate Harwoods fault because she stopped the show being too gangster orientated.
Kate Harwood seems to have ruined the show as far as I'm concerned axing characters such as Jake and Danny although Jake was reprived and as for the scripts the only person to blame for them is the person who comes up with the rubbish ideas in the first place and as Kate Harwood has an overall say in it all I'll blame her
We should start a petion Layne and get rid of her he he at least that will make us feel a little bit betterHey don't blame Kate Harwood, she took over from the worst producer they could have ever hoped for. Kathleen Hutchison was talking about axing Pauline and Dot and she relied too much on the Moons!
I liked her better than LB but in no way could she hold a candle up to Kate Harwood who atleast respects the EE legends!
I hate to say it but this time next year EastEnders may no longer exist.I wouldn't go that far there are plans for the show longterm.
I agree this is defo the beginning of the end EE is just wrapping things up nicely for usThat's going too far I think I know it feels like they're stripping it now but in no way is it finished yet.
looks like ee is following in brookies footsteps!I'm offended!
"EastEnders" isn't nearly as bad as "Brookside" they are two totally different situations for starters the BBC WANT "EastEnders" and "Channel 4" in the end didn't want "Brookside" :)
Too many people are leaving!Alfie,Kat,Chrissie,Nana Moon,and now Sharon and Dennis!The square's losing some of its best characters!
I wouldn't class Alfie as a good character!
Letitia Dean is starting to get on my nerves a bit now! :mad: She's in & out of that show like I don't know what!! :eek:
I agree it's really annoying!
I am not looking forward to the Mitchell show at all.
For me, it's not that a character it's leaving - I can cope with that, it's that a big group of them are in what appears to be a mass exodus and something about that bugs.
I don't like the fact they're all going so close to eachother and have a feeling it's going to be too much to take but whatever happens the show will go on and I'm certain it won't be the "Mitchell Show" because as proven in the past the show doesn't always revolve around them when they're in it.
It dosnt suprise me in the least i dont think its down to their work,i think its down to all the arguing and backstabbing,reading between the lines the cast are all split into little gangs of friends and most of their friends are gone,plus if they dont get out now and ee continues on its downward spiral well they'll end up in a worse position,personally i think theres to many cooks at ee and we all know what they do-they spoil the brothI think they need as many as possible they can't get enough creative force behind the show at the moment if you ask me.
You're not going to watch it again just because he's leaving!? :confused:I know that's rather baffling. I will continue watching and supporting the UK's no.2 soap whatever happens!
yeh but it is still not on the ee website
That doesn't mean anything it looks like they're going now!
I dont think ee will be ee without any members of the watts familyWell they coped for many years without one!

i'm guessing this means they split, or Dennis dies if Lititia is only going on a long break?
The show doesn't live off these two characters although they have been featured heavily recently and they are good interesting characters to watch.

Yes, but when a whole bunch of these characters of leaving -- that is a problem. I mean, a lot of people think the character of Alfie sucks, a lot of people think Chrissie deserves a comeuppance and a lot of people think Shannis are boring, but these are the characters that storylines have centered on recently, they're the characters who get the front page in the mags, and them all leaving at once is going to be a problem for EE. Maybe it can survive it, but it's going to be a struggle.

if it not on the ee website by wednesday it is not true
What I think all this means is a big stage for the return of the Mitchells. EE are gambling that these characters will be at the helm of their future potential success. Undoubtedly with the loss of 4 major characters screen time will be dominated by the Mitchells.
I see this as a potentially huge gamble. If done badly it could all go wrong. What also interests me further is the timing of this. I suspect that Nigel/ Letisha made an joint agreement with EE (has that been said at all?) and that with the return of the Mitchells they don't want any love triangle business to flare up. Re hashes which could and more importantly would appear in real life (at the very least 'shockwaves' caused by it i.e. bad tempers, words etc) EE is trying to keep away from this. I see a delibrate attempt to stray away from the past. Its a good thing for them to do in ways. Manipulating events to suit themselves and the future of EE but over exposure can go o so wrong as we've seen in the past.
I will be watching behind the scenes to see how this volatile situation turns out. I think it is clear that EE is gambling and heavily as well

Half the Mitchells aren't even staying -- Grant's only back for a few weeks, and Sam's leaving in November. I agree it seems that's what they're doing, but when Peggy, Phil and Billy are the only Mitchells there it seems a bit bizarre.
I honestly think next the remaining Slaters will be gone, along with Johnny Allen. I hope not though, because we need some stability right now.
Once it's on the BBC news I think you can pretty much take it as true.

WE QUIT
EASTENDERS EXCLUSIVE Dennis and Sharon to leave Albert Sq
By Fiona Cummins, Showbiz Reporter
EASTENDERS favourites Dennis Rickman and Sharon Watts are to leave Albert Square after their bizarre wedding and a murder probe.
Actors Nigel Harman and Letitia Dean have revealed they want to quit in a double blow for the BBC. Nigel, 32, is going for good while Letitia, 37, wants to take a long break. A show insider said: "Nigel met with the show's producers and decided he has taken Dennis as far as he can."
He will film his final scenes in November and will be written out in an explosive New Year storyline.
Letitia is expected to leave at the same time. Their exit is a hammer blow to the BBC because Dennis and adopted sister Sharon are at the centre of a gripping love story.
The source said: "Writers are now planning Dennis' exit storyline.
"He has been a fantastic asset to the show and is one of the most popular characters. But he had made up his mind that the time was right for him to walk away."
Sharon and Dennis marry on August 29 and the BBC hoped their big day would claw back lost viewers.
Police arrive just before the reception to dig up Dirty Den's body.
Den, Sharon's adoptive dad and Dennis's real one, has been murdered and buried under the Vic.
Nigel and Letitia have both been off the show but were lured back in June. He was given a £150,000 a year deal and Letitia £175,000. She joined when EastEnders started in 1985 and has had four stints on the soap.
Nigel first appeared in 2003 and was named Best Newcomer at the National TV Awards.
But he has admitted doubts over the show. He said: "On and off I've sat there and thought, 'God, this is naff.' It's a double-edged sword.You can come out and do a Martin Kemp or you can never work again."

Exactly they need those core characters so we know it's "EastEnders" and we have to have them reacting to things. "Sonia" and "Martin" are also established core characters.

That's not fair. It's his decision to leave, and we have to respect that, not try and pressure him into changing his mind. Whatever his reasons are, I'm sure he has them.
This isn't like Jake and Danny where they were sacked -- he's quit, and I think the best you can do is wish him all the best for the future.
I even think Jim is too!:)And Billy and Peggy and Phil are coming back and Grant may even return for a bit longer too.

I think Dennis will be killed off, I'm sad to say it, but I can't see any other way out for his character. Looking at the wedding photos, Sharon and Dennis are so happy and in love. I don't think there is anything that could tear them apart, except dennis's death!
Even if Sharon was to have an affair with Grant or Phil, I think Dennis would forgive her. Or if Dennis got involved with Johnny Allen on something dodgy, Sharon would be there for him then. Look at all the stuff Sharon put up with from Den and Grant!
But if Dennis does die it would be horrible. Especially for Sharon who would have to pick up the pieces of her shattered life. First Den then Dennis, how could she go on!

It's not said either way -- I think what's got people worried is that it usually says the door is left open, like it did for Chrissie.
Because in the newspaper it did not say that unlike when Tracy-Ann, Jessie and Kim announced they were leaving it said the door was left open but not with Nigel so I'm assuming it hasn't been

As much as I hate to say it...... I think they will kill Dennis off.
The death of dennis would be a much needed boost for ratings.
Its the aftermath of the dennis exit storyline that they need to worry about.
I'm just glad Tish could come back again!!!
To be honest I suspect it'll be a long time or indeed never for us to see Tish returning to our screens.
Her most recent return to me seemed to have come after a lot of badgering from EE producers. From what I see, I see an actress who wants to move on in work and life but is being dragged back (with temptations!) to keep an, in my opinion, flagging programme.
One thing which is for certain after this is that EE will HAVE to find new cast members and big ones (in terms of characters) to move on. 2006 will be the rebirth of EE, new people, storylines etc. Whether successful remains to be seen.

I certainly don't think she was tempted back to "save" the programme and if that's what she's said then I think she's being very egotastical.

:eek: Was so shocked to hear this - all Nigel and Tish's comments recently seemed to imply that they wanted to stick around for a while and they will only have been back for 5 months after their much-hyped return.
I agree that Eastenders will not be axed because of these 2 characters leaving but I think that their departure, along with all the others at the end of this year, will lose Eastenders its spark. They must have an awful lot of amazing storylines and characters up their sleeves if they think they wll be able to improve on the dramatic events of this year. One thing I know for certain is that Eastenders is set to become a very different! Who knows if it will be in a good or bad way? :searchme:
PS. Did anyone else hear Sara Cox's poem mourning the loss of Dennis - I didn't know whether to laugh or cry!!
They've only been back five mins!!!
I agree. They have been in and out of the show for a while. I accept that it may be a gruelling schedule but it is a little unfair on EE bosses who are just getting it back on it's feet and Sharon's departure will obviously limit the storylines with Phil and Grant. I can see that they think the grass is greener but Letitia has tried other things and EE is a steady,well paid role for her. Nigel has probably got other things lined up ( Bond would be good ) however
his acting ability is limited and he should consider how lucky he is to get this part as he has only done it for a short while and could easily end up out of work and back at Sainsburys!!
I'm really upset with the news. I really am
There is more to the show than S&D I know but to be honest they are the only thing that maintains my interest. With them gone, I can watch an ep and not be that bothered if I miss it anymore.
There was so much potential for both of the. IVF, Dennis's past, Sharon meeting her natural parents and so on but instead given them shamble storylines and written them around sensationalised plots. The first being the love triangle and now the Den being dead. They both have a talent but they have been wasted IMO.
What a disapointment.

I doubt Nigel has got much lined up, he's not the Best Actor around, he will probably come crying back to Eastenders in a few years when his career flops (that is if he doesn't get killed of)

no not at all just the mirror yesterday
EastEnders stars Nigel Harman and Letitia Dean are quitting the soap.
The actors, who play Dennis Rickman and Sharon Watts respectively, will film their final scenes in November and leave the show in a sensational New Year storyline.
Speaking to DS today, a spokeswoman for the soap confirmed that Nigel has decided that he wants to leave for good, while Letitia is planning on taking an "extended career break".
Meanwhile, a source told The Mirror "Writers are now planning Dennis' exit storyline. He has been a fantastic asset to the show and is one of the most popular characters. But he had made up his mind that the time was right for him to walk away."
Harman first joined the soap in 2003 and was voted Best Newcomer at the National TV Awards.

Alan45 if you dont like them why are you even replying to the threads :)
I agree Angel, don't know why he's even on this thread!
If Nigel and Letitia want to leave then that's their decision surely. If Letitia has taken a number of breaks then it must have been mutually agreed with the bosses at EE or they wouldn't have had her back would they? I would love to be able to take extended breaks from work? Good luck to them both I say.
Personally I would have liked to see them stay in the square now Dennis and Sharon are finally together because I think they make great TV, and we waited SO LONG.
If the stories are true and Letitia is going to return next year then obviously that will be the end of Dennis and Sharon, and I find it hard to believe that after all their efforts to get together that something will break them up so soon.
I dont want them to leave, they do make good t.v, the storylines they do are brill!!
I believe the theory that they were only coming back short term to finish off various storylines. Tish wants to start a family and good luck to her but no doubt she'll be back again because Sharon Watts is all she can do in her professional life.

that is what is scaring me! because letitia is having a extended break while Nigel is actually leaving for a long time in an expolsive storyline so i am scared that they will kill dennis off or something which i will not forgive them for it if they do!!! but its just that as a shannis fan ( and im sure other shannis fans) waited so long for them to be together and for them to come back on screen to see them happy and to break sharon again with the den thing (which will already of been shown by the time the leave i think) and then dennis which i really hope it doesnt happen!!!!!!!!!!!! I AM SO GUTTED!!! i just want it to be false..i am hoping and praying still even though some are saying its confirmed but even though you still get that hoping feeling of it all not being true!!!! :crying: :crying:
weve already done 48/49 pages in 2 days! wow!

I think Tish will stay out of it for a while she obviously didn't plan to come back long term otherwise she would have stayed longer.
I only caught a glimpse of it when we went to Tescos and i was just wondering if someone could tell me if the actors decided to leave seperatley?

the ee website have changed and it does not say any thing about it
I am disappointed by this. I mean we all know its fiction so it’s not something we will lose any sleep over but still when you watch a show you form your favourites and with the Sharon and Dennis relationship it was very different to me and a lot of others. They had a special spark and a certain chemistry that neither other couples did.
It is understandable that the Shannis fans feel let down with this. I mean, they slept together in September 2003, got together 5 months later (February) and then split up 7 weeks later. We had some great drama like the shannis two hander and Den vs Dennis one so people really got to grips with the storyline. Then that was replaced by a boring tedious love triangle and ruined their characters, which went on for 8 months. Letitia left so that was the end but then it was confirmed that she was coming back much to the delighted of many Sharon and Dennis fans. Now, just only two months into their arrival, they are both off again.
I don't blame us for being a little upset. I'll sill watch nevertheless but to be honest without them and Chrissie, there will be very little holding my interest.
As for Letitia, I think people are reading too much into it here. From what I heard from both Letitia and Nigel in interviews, they had signed 12 months contracts. However it is possible that tptb have shortened them to allow them to leave together. Either this of before Letitia returned she made it clear to the bosses that she only wanted a short stay with no promises. If this is the case she has been more than clear. I doubt she just (after signing a contract) turned around and said, I want out. If she did then its wrong. For all we know, the producers might have known that she weren’t to stay for long so when Nigel announced that he was leaving they thought it was better all round if they went together. She has made no secret about wanting children in the foreseeable future too.
I know Sharon and Dennis don't make the show and characters come and go all the time but I've never remembered a time when so many characters have left around the same time and these aren't just any characters but big names. They have lost Michele Ryan not long ago. Now they are about to lose, Jessie Wallace, Shane Richie, Kim Medcalf, Hilda Braid, Tracey-Ann-Oberman, Nigel Harman and Letitia Dean. These are well established characters that have their own individual fan bases. It certainly does not look good for the show. It looks like they are gambling everything on the Mitchell’s here. I'll be pleased to see Grant but once he's gone we will have poisonous cant act Peggy and Phil Mitchell -both I'm not a particular fan off anyway.
Looks like ee will have to introduce more new fresh characters. It’s such a shame that they are losing so many characters that viewers do like and now are replacing them with newcomers who run a risk of being axed. Some work but others don't. Just look at Tina and the Ferrarahs. I'll stay open minded on all though but in all honesty, when Chrissie, Sharon and Dennis leave I won't be that gripped with ee anymore. It was their characters that held most of my attention. I'll continue to watch all the same and hopefully another complex character will come in for me to harp on about but I doubt any would ever have that gripped to 'shannis'. Two years on and still a huge fan.
I find it disappointing that they could didn't write Sharon and Dennis's characters the way they should have been written. Last year we had the tedious Sharon/Dennis/Zoe love triangle and this year Dennis turning MR Nice guy and Sharon harping on about Den. It’s like tptb only lured them back for the sole purpose of giving some climax to the Den story- to hell with any natural progression to their characters. How about Dennis's abuse being explored, more feuds, Sharon going for IVF, her meeting her natural father and so on? Unfortunately viewers won't get that now and natural character development has been sidelines in favour of sensationalised plots.
This is not good news and I am sad that Nigel is leaving. Eastenders are losing about 8 big names all round the same time. On WG it said that Nigel and Letita's exit coincides with the Mitchells return and Mike Reid's..um..is all I will say..
(On WG it says that this has been officially confirmed by the BBC)
that is what is scaring me! because letitia is having a extended break while Nigel is actually leaving for a long time in an expolsive storyline so i am scared that they will kill dennis off or something which i will not forgive them for it if they do!!! but its just that as a shannis fan ( and im sure other shannis fans) waited so long for them to be together and for them to come back on screen to see them happy and to break sharon again with the den thing (which will already of been shown by the time the leave i think) and then dennis which i really hope it doesnt happen!!!!!!!!!!!! I AM SO GUTTED!!! i just want it to be false..i am hoping and praying still even though some are saying its confirmed but even though you still get that hoping feeling of it all not being true!!!! :crying: :crying:
Surely they won't kill off Dennis, I mean that would make Sharon the unluckiest person in EE wouldn't it? Tom was killed in the fire, her mom and dad are both dead, one of her oldest friends, Mark, is dead - surely no-one would have anything to do with her for fear of dying!!
Makes you wonder though what's going to happen to split them up. I can't see either of them having an affair, they are too much in love for that, and it's just too soon. I wonder if the rumours are true and it will emerge that Den was Sharon's real dad? That would make Dennis and Sharon blood related and it would be impossible for them to carry on in a realtionship. :searchme:

they did with jessie wallace
But they didn't with Leslie Grantham. Sorry, but unless we get a denial, I'm going to go with it being true. Don't want it to be, but there it is.

Looks like Tish Dean is off on another few months break, if she's coming back later in the year. Grr, I wish she'd make up her mind. I suppose either Shannis split up, or he dies.
Hasn't she had enough breaks???
