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."

Oh dear. The end of Shannis. It should not come as any surprise that this happened. They will probably be tempted back again next year in a sensational storyline after discovering the grass is not as green as they thought. ~Its a pity the producers based so much of the show around them

[Jade]

They've only been back five mins!!!

[Dr. Tangliss]

I know, judejude.

[Layne]

I'm so upset to hear about this but i'm waiting till the beeb confirm it!
It says that toish is having a long break but Nigel for good, Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo :crying:

[BlackKat]

To be honest, I thought this might happen -- and I suppose if they leave at the same time there's a chance of Shannis being happy for once.

I hope it's not true, but I wouldn't be surprised if it is. It seems every week there's news of another character leaving.

[Alisha]

I'm gutted. They haven't even been back for long.

I knew eventually they would leave and do other things but I didn't expect it to be so soon.

Good luck to them both and I really do hope they have a happy ending and an explosive exit. They deserve it.

[squarelady]

I wouldn't be so sure about this yet, this all looks a bit dodgy to me.

[Layne]

I wouldn't be so sure about this yet, this all looks a bit dodgy to me.

Lexie your here, keep us positive please?

[i_luv_dennis]

nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnoooooooooooooooooooooo

i dont think it is true because when nigel was on jonathon ross he said he had a couple more years left at ee.
plus he said on their what you read on papers is not true

and it would be on the ee website

but the one way to find out for sure is when sharon marshall is on friday imm going to ring up and ask her if she does not say



I LUV SHANNIS

[squarelady]

Lexie your here, keep us positive please?

I will babes! :D

I just wouldn't worry until the BBC confirm anything. This story just sounds dodgy. The timing, the reasons, the decision after ther ecent interviews with Tish and Nige. It just doesn't make sense. I think even if it is true which we can't be sure it is yet then they've given the wrong reasons for going and something else is going on. It's just very dodgy.

[squarelady]

and it would be on the ee website

but the one way to find out for sure is when sharon marshall is on friday imm going to ring up and ask her if she does not say


If it's true the BBC should confirm it on their website long before Friday.

[Layne]

Yeh well one fact is that we know Nigel's contract is till 2006, i think february some time, and yeh he did say taht on wossy,what will we do? :crying:

[i_luv_dennis]

i thought bosses of ee was going to get them a baby on ivf

[BlackKat]

I think even if it is true which we can't be sure it is yet then they've given the wrong reasons for going and something else is going on. It's just very dodgy.


I wonder if something's going on -- it seems strange that so many main characters would quit in such a short time.

[squarelady]

If he leaves we'll be fine! We'll do something nice for him on NHO and no matter what we'll support his decision 'cos his happiness is the most important. And we'll spend the rest of our lives watching Eastenders re runs of Dennis! :(

[BlackKat]

Yeh well one fact is that we know Nigel's contract is till 2006, i think february some time, and yeh he did say taht on wossy,what will we do? :crying:

So was TAO's, wasn't it? :crying:

[Layne]

I will babes! :D

Thanks lexie, i really gutted, but your now on here keeping us all positive!!! yey! Positivity!! When i actually read it the first time i thought it did sound a little dodgy
Thanks lexie!

[squarelady]

I wonder if something's going on -- it seems strange that so many main characters would quit in such a short time.

Exactly! Michelle, Kim, Tracy Ann, Shane, Jessie, Charlotte and now Nigel and Letitia. What is going on at 'Enders!

[Layne]

If he leaves we'll be fine! We'll do something nice for him on NHO and no matter what we'll support his decision 'cos his happiness is the most important. And we'll spend the rest of our lives watching Eastenders re runs of Dennis! :(

I';m with you all the way there lexie! xxx

[squarelady]

So was TAO's, wasn't it? :crying:

Yes, they've cut hers short. But at least with TAO you can see the reason clearly why it was a good decision for her to go. It made sense, this just...well...doesn't!

[Layne]

So was TAO's, wasn't it? :crying:

good point :crying:

[Layne]

Exactly! Michelle, Kim, Tracy Ann, Shane, Jessie, Charlotte and now Nigel and Letitia. What is going on at 'Enders!

i thought that i mean what is happening?

[i_luv_dennis]

on the interview they said the was happy to be back

[BlackKat]

Soon we'll be watching a show consisting of Pauline Fowler and Dot Cotton.

[the_watts_rule]

WHAT!!!!! That is so unfair! :crying:

[i_luv_dennis]

i dont belive it i think it is just a rumour like when they said litcha and jessie was fighting and nigek stoped them he said that did not happen at al

PLEASE LET IT ME A RUMOUR

im gutted

[squarelady]

i thought that i mean what is happening?

Exactly! And i_luv_dennis is right, they were happy to be back and they were talking non stop about how much fun they were having filming together. The same with Jessie, and Tracy Ann. So why in the space of two months have some of the shows biggest names suddenly decided to leave? :searchme:

[i_luv_dennis]

please dont be true
it is not even on digital spy yet

[Layne]

Exactly! And i_luv_dennis is right, they were happy to be back and they were talking non stop about how much fun they were having filming together. The same with Jessie, and Tracy Ann. So why in the space of two months have some of the shows biggest names suddenly decided to leave? :searchme:

something very fishy is going on, do you think it is to do with falling ratings??

by the way i have now set camp on both this thread and the one over at NHO! I need to be kept positive!

[i_luv_dennis]

when jessie said she was leaving it came on staright away and that is true

[the_watts_rule]

Im gutted

[the_watts_rule]

I hope it isnt true

[squarelady]

I've got two windows open too! :lol: - I do think something is going on. With everyone else it's been believable but 'There's nowhere else to take the character of Dennis'. I don't believe that for a second so why the sudden change of mind about everything on Nigel's part? And Tish, another long break? It just doesn't fit. I need a more convincing story than that.

[the_watts_rule]

It was in a magazine that they loved working together I was just jumping up and down for there return i didnt expect an exit. PLEASE BE A RUMOUR

[BlackKat]

when jessie said she was leaving it came on staright away and that is true

Wasn't that announced during the week though -- they don't usually update the site over the weekend.


Something's dodgy -- either this report, or at the BBC.

I've got 2 windows too!!! Something is deffinatly going on and i'm going to get to the bottom of it?

[squarelady]

I agree! And you're right about Eastenders. If this is true then who else is there left. That's all my favorites gone within a matter of months. And I'm not too optimistic they'll keep Joel at this rate either. It's a shambles!

[Jade]

Theres been rumours about Tish leaving to have a baby for a while now, so could this be the long break?

[the_watts_rule]

It puzzles me that the BBC are axing all the most popular characters. But Nigel and Letitia leaving is just the final blow! Ive got a whole wall in my room dedicated to them and Tracy Ann

[squarelady]

I've got 2 windows too!!! Something is deffinatly going on and i'm going to get to the bottom of it?

Detective Layne investigates! :lol:

'We're alright, we're okay, we love Nigel every day!' :love: - Keeping positive until I find out what's really going on!

[Layne]

Theres been rumours about Tish leaving to have a baby for a while now, so could this be the long break?

But wouldn't she stay until she had too???
thats a point what about all the IVF storylines????

[BlackKat]

If this is all some big attempt to go back to the era of the Mitchells, they're gambling a hell of a lot.

[the_watts_rule]

Theres been rumours about Tish leaving to have a baby for a while now, so could this be the long break?

I have never heard that rumour but it might be true. But think she is just back to Eastenders. The BBC needs sorting out :angry:

[squarelady]

It puzzles me that the BBC are axing all the most popular characters. But Nigel and Letitia leaving is just the final blow! Ive got a whole wall in my room dedicated to them and Tracy Ann

You and me both, Tracy Ann leaving was bad enough for me. This is just silly!

JudeJude - You're right about Letitia wanting to start a family and it would fit in with a possible storyline but this whole Nigel thing just doesn't fit at all.

There might be a bigger story covering it in tomorrow's papers.

[Layne]

Detective Layne investigates! :lol:

'We're alright, we're okay, we love Nigel every day!' :love: - Keeping positive until I find out what's really going on!


yeh! Well you can help me, urmm detective lexie!!

Yey the song, we're alright, we're okay, we love Nigel every day!!!
lexie i'm so positive now thanks *hug*

Exactly. Tracy Ann leaving peed me off and Letitia and Nigel will be the only decent characters when shes gone

[Jade]

But wouldn't she stay until she had too???
thats a point what about all the IVF storylines????

The IVF story line has been a rumour though hasnt it? Although that would be the next logical thing for Sharon and Dennis's relationship. But I havent heard of a reliable source for it, please correct me if i'm wrong.

As regards Tish leaving, some women like to just concentrate on having a baby you need to be realaxed etc, and I can imagen filming for a role such as Sharon's would be physically and mentally quite hard.

[Layne]

You and me both, Tracy Ann leaving was bad enough for me. This is just silly! .

i'm still deverstated by tracy-ann leaving, i was till am so upset and now this.....

[the_watts_rule]

I dont see anything about it on the sun website

Your right the storylines were rumours, but believable ones,

Unless Nigel doesnt want to continue without Letitia or he has got an offer from Hollywood!!!

[Jade]

I dont see anything about it on the sun website

It wasnt in the Sun newspaper today either

[squarelady]

I dont see anything about it on the sun website

It's in The Mirror and on their website.

I'm staying positive until someone explains what's really going on because I don't believe the reasons in that article one bit. Sorry, it's just too dodgy for me!

[Layne]

I dont see anything about it on the sun website

No its not on there i've been refreshing the page so much it won't refresh anymore¬

[Jade]

Nigel for the next James Bond?

[Layne]

Nigel for the next James Bond?

[the_watts_rule]

[Jade]

You think?

Thats just my idea, but yea I do!!!!

[the_watts_rule]

I trust the sun newspaper thats why i checked

[the_watts_rule]

If the Mirror are getting money to post lies. I will not be best pleased

[squarelady]

Thats just my idea, but yea I do!!!!

yes, Yes...YES! :lol:

[i_luv_dennis]

im going to get all the newspaper my sister has just gone to get the sun

[Layne]

Thats just my idea, but yea I do!!!!

I guess its possible, this then wouldn't be so bad, but i'm still so upset i mean Nigel is dennis isn't he, i guess though if i saw nigel in a film (such as James Bond) theni would be like oh look its dennis, i guess seeing him so for long in a certain role you no

[squarelady]

I trust the sun newspaper thats why i checked

Me too, The Sun are very reliable!

[Jade]

yes, Yes...YES! :lol:

Well if he is really leaving EE, than I could see him as the next James Bond!!!

[the_watts_rule]

I just hope its not true

[the_watts_rule]

Me too, The Sun are very reliable!

If you see soap stuff in The Sun its normally true. I would be literally gutted if its in there

[i_luv_dennis]

If the Mirror are getting money to post lies. I will not be best pleased

[the_watts_rule]

[the_watts_rule]

i can see it now, pualine,ian, dot and jim all together outside the now demoilished Queen Vic,
Ian: What happned to it ey?
Pauline: End of an era


No don't let it happen!!

[BlackKat]

We'll have Pauline and Ian as well -- who I actually quite like, but they need the big characters to attract viewers and it seems they're the ones who are leaving.

And they're all going within two months - November to December. That's not nearly enough time to develop the new characters enough to be able to carry the show, and if the Mitchell return doesn't pay off...

[i_luv_dennis]

yeh but i love shannis

Dont' tell me shannis is going to break up unless unless, i don;t want to say it?

[the_watts_rule]

[Luna]

Come on how many long breaks does Ms Dean need????

[i_luv_dennis]

[the_watts_rule]

EastEnders stars Nigel Harman and Letitia Dean are quitting the soap, The Mirror claims today.

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.

Nigel has decided that he wants to leave for good, while Letitia is planning on taking another long break.

A source explained, "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.

[angelblue]

hi everyone
i dont think we should worry unless it is confirmed by the BBC because everyone knows the Mirror is not a reliable source and half the time it is made up

Considering it wasnt in the Sun i dont think it is true because i do find the sun a reliable source :)

This is from TV biz on the Site

ONLY a few months ago, Sam had the world at her feet.

With a sexy husband and a string of thriving businesses, her biggest worry was fitting in her next appointment with her then-hairdresser Chrissie.

How times have changed! But just as Sam feels life can’t get worse, it does.

First, she finds out Chrissie has conned her out of the Vic. Then, the police start asking awkward questions about Den. Sam panics, gets drunk and starts a fight with Chrissie.

“Sam is at rock bottom. She’s lost everything and is working in a chippy,” says Kim Medcalf, who plays her.

“Losing the Vic is the last straw.”

Sam’s week from hell begins when Sharon returns from Spain, having failed to find Den.

Dennis tells Sharon that Chrissie now owns all of the pub, but Sharon is more worried about finding her dad and reports Den missing to the police.

Chrissie convinces the cops Den has just run off with another woman, but when Sharon demands the full story Chrissie feeds her a lie that Sam saw Den last.

Sharon passes this on to the police, but Chrissie assures Sam they’ll be fine if she sticks to the story.

“Sam lies that she chatted to Den before he left in a cab but she gets confused about the date,” adds Kim. “She’s not sure the police believe her.”

Later, at Sharon’s hen night, nervy Sam drinks a toast with Chrissie
to their uneasy alliance. But then Sharon drops the bombshell that Chrissie now owns the pub outright.

“Sam feels sick,” says Kim. “She realises she has been conned. She is determined to get even with Chrissie.”

The next day she gives Chrissie a chance to come clean about the pub but ice-cold Chrissie continues to lie.

Later, a bitter Sam turns up in the Vic, gets plastered and insults Chrissie. But Chrissie calls her bluff, daring her to tell Sharon and Dennis everything.

“Sam backs down,” says Kim. “She hates herself for it but doesn’t want to go to jail. Instead, she hurls a drink at Chrissie and there’s a huge catfight.”

Thats all the Eastenders i can find

UNHAPPY EastEnders heart-throb Nigel Harman quit last night. Nigel, 32, will leave at the end of the year after months of speculation about his future on the BBC1 soap. He has not been happy with his character Dennis Rickman and being thrown into the spotlight. An insider said "Everyone knows there has been unhappiness for months. Nigel took a break earlier this year that we thought might give him time to change his mind. Unfortunately he decided he was leaving this week". Dennis will be seen by millions of fans wedding his on-screen sister, Sharon Watts in a day from hell that ends with Dirty Den's body being dug up. As previously revealed by TV Biz, Letitia Dean, 37, who plays Sharon will be taking a break at the end of the year to star in panto. But she will be returning to the show. Last night an EastEnders spokesman stressed: "Letitia is under contract and doesn't have any plans to leave".

Trouble is in interviews they cant really say that the are unhappy as they are representing the show.

[BlackKat]

[Treacle]

It doesn't sound genuine to me so it might still be denied?

[Treacle]

To clear up the naff comment he has said it ages ago but now it's being milked to death nowadays when he comments on the show he says he has some great storylines coming up etc and that's why he agreed to go back! I think he made the naff comment around about the time when his character was involved with Zoe.

[i_luv_dennis]

i have now got the daily mirror it is just a little bit and it does not sound true

[Layne]

he did i think!

[Treacle]

The Sun are reporting it. I think it's safe to say it's true now and at least The Sun's articles makes sense!I have to say I'm not really bothered either way. I expected this because Letitia is always coming and going but I'd still like to recieve confirmation first because there's been rumours about these two for ages.

[i_luv_dennis]

but i got the sun and it does not say any thing

[angelblue]

I checked the sun and their was nothing their

Quick question didnt the Mirror write that stuff about kat and sharon fighting and it was all made up :)

[i_luv_dennis]

[BlackKat]

From DS


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.

I think it's true...

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo :crying:

Hey peeps i hate to say it but it looks like it true :crying: :crying:

[♥Lovin Me 4 Me♥]

If anyone has any other reports from papers, please could you type it up please? I'm not believing it. Has anyone bought the latest edition from the Sun yet, as I REALLY need to know whether its made up or not, and if it really has the article in there (not doubting you, fanatic loves dennis, i'm just having trouble grasping the fact they might leave lol).

Also, what is NHO, some people are talking about it. Thanks xx

[angelblue]

It is nigel harman online babe it is dedicated site to him :)

[Layne]

:crying: It looks like it might be true, but i'm still holding out hope the beeb ain't confirmed it yet!

[angelblue]

Yeah i know i cant believe it i will wait to :crying:

But if it is true i wish them both good luck in what ever they do hope to see them soon back on our screen :)

[Layne]

BBC news have confimed it, nigel is leaving and Tish is taking an extened break!

[angelblue]

I wait for ee confirmation babe :)

[BlackKat]

BBC news confirm (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/tv_and_radio/4148146.stm)

[BlackKat]

And Tish Dean really needs to stop taking breaks -- if you're staying, stay. If you're leaving, leave. I don't mind the door being left open or whatever, it's all these 'breaks' I can't be doing with.

[Princess]

I'm devastated!

[Layne]

BBC NEWS!

Dennis and Sharon quit EastEnders

Letitia Dean and Nigel Harman will concentrate on other roles
EastEnders actors Nigel Harman and Letitia Dean, who play Dennis Rickman and Sharon Watts, are leaving the soap.
Harman, 32, is quitting by "mutal, amicable decision" with producers, an EastEnders spokesman said.

He will make his final appearance on the BBC soap at the end of the year, when Dean - a founding cast member - will take an extended break.

"We do not know when she will come back, but she will return," the spokesman said.

Soap marriage

Harman's character Dennis is due to marry his adopted sister Sharon on the BBC One soap later this month.

Their wedding will coincide with the discovery of the body of murdered character Den Watts - Dennis' father and Sharon's adoptive father - who was played by Leslie Grantham.

The EastEnders spokesman would not reveal the pair's closing storyline, as the two actors leave to concentrate on other roles.

Dean, 37, was in EastEnders for a decade from 1985 and has already taken a number of breaks from the show.

EastEnders regularly attracted up to 14 million viewers until 2004 but it has recently struggled to match the ratings of its ITV1 rival Coronation Street.

Harman and Dean's departure at the end of the year will coincide with that of Jessie Wallace, who plays Kat Moon.

It comes as previous EastEnders cast members Mike Reid, Barbara Windsor and Ross Kemp are due to return to the soap.

[Layne]

I'm devastated!

Join the club! :crying:

[xCharliex]

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

[Princess]

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

Corrie will be delighted.

[Layne]

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

Chrissie,kat, Alfie, Tina, ,danny, i don't think i can cope, sharon, dennis and chrissie are the reason i watch ee, i won't stop watching, but i won't be as big as a fan like i was!

[Princess]

And this time there's nothing we can do about it. Like when Jake and Danny were sacked at least the petition saved Jake. Quitting the show was Nigel's own decision.

[♥Lovin Me 4 Me♥]

It is nigel harman online babe it is dedicated site to him :)

Thank youuuuuu xxx

[Layne]

And this time there's nothing we can do about it. Like when Jake and Danny were sacked at least the petition saved Jake. Quitting the show was Nigel's own decision.

The Beeb would of never axed r sacked tish or nigel, they no how important they are too the show,alone shannis/tish and nigel, probably have 80% of ee ratings
There would of been murder if they had been axed, but it was his own decision, and we have to live by it, as long as he is happy, so am i!

[Rach33]

What with Tracy-Ann and possibly Joel and now this I can't see any reason to watch EE anymore they were the four reasons I did

A sad day for EE and a sad day for all of us

I had to ring up my best mate on her birthday and tell her bless her heart

[BlackKat]

All these characters leaving -- it just can't be a coincidence. :confused:


Well, the critics are going to have a field day. "Falling ratings, sinking ship blah blah fishcakes." :rolleyes:

[Princess]

All these characters leaving -- it just can't be a coincidence. :confused:


Well, the critics are going to have a field day. "Falling ratings, sinking ship blah blah fishcakes." :rolleyes:

Tell me about it. The rumours will be flying about now.

[Rach33]

The press have a field day as it is but this can't be just coincidence is the show in a crisis or not

[littlemo]

Does anybody else think Dennis will be killed off? We know Sharon's coming back to the show after her break and Dennis is leaving for good. How much heartbreak do they need to put Sharon through. If it's true she would have had her dad and husband dying in the space of a few months.

[i_luv_dennis]

so is it true now

[BlackKat]

It does say Nigel's quitting for good...and nothing about the door being left open... :eek:

[i_luv_dennis]

yeh but the bbc has not confirmed it

[Rach33]

I have a horrible feeling that he may doe too after all it does say Nigel said he'd taken Dennis as far as he could is there a hint in that phase

[Rach33]

It's on the BBC News website so it's as good as confirmed I think

[i_luv_dennis]

yeh but they was making plans to do ivf with sharon and try to get the vic back

[BlackKat]

yeh but the bbc has not confirmed it

It's not on the EE site yeah, but BBC news has (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/tv_and_radio/4148146.stm) and DS have apparently spoken to a spokesperson who confirmed it.

[Rach33]

This is what DS say

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".

Harman first joined the soap in 2003 and was voted Best Newcomer at the National TV Awards.

[Rach33]

Still no leaving the door open so maybe he will die

[i_luv_dennis]

this is my worst nightmare im still hoping it is not true

[littlemo]

yeh but they was making plans to do ivf with sharon and try to get the vic back

It seems that those stories have gone out the window now. I can't see them having time to do the ivf story now if they are leaving in the newyear. If it's true about Dennis dying it will be the saddest death ever.

I don't know what Nigel's talking about that he doesn't see he can develop his character anymore. There is so much more they could have done.

[Layne]

No :crying: EE are going to suffer
does any one else not find it weird that ee have axed or the actors themselves have quit, they have all been the popular one, i think something is going on?

[Rach33]

It is true if it wasn't then how come so many sources have got hold of the story if it wasn't true EE or the BBC would have given a retracting statement to the claims the fact that they haven't just proves he's leaving and I for one although devasted am not very surprised

[Princess]

Maybe he'll follow in his dad's footsteps and "die" then come back 14 years later.

[Rach33]

No :crying: EE are going to suffer
does any one else not find it weird that ee have axed or the actors themselves have quit, they have all been the popular one, i think something is going on?

I hate to say this but I have a feeling the show is in a big crisis so many big names quitting or being axed I'm not sure what but something isn't right

[Layne]

has nigel actually said'there is no where for his character to go' i mean Ta saying that i can understand and i blame the writers for her quitting but nigel, dennis could go so far, half the veiwers tune in to watch him and sharon, this is horrible :crying:

[BlackKat]

No :crying: EE are going to suffer
does any one else not find it weird that ee have axed or the actors themselves have quit, they have all been the popular one, i think something is going on?

I think there is as well -- all the exits are too close together - I mean, Chrissie and Sam leave in November, Kat and Alfie at Christmas, and now Sharon and Dennis at new year. We won't have a chance to finish one leaving storyline before the next one starts. I think something's going on.

A show insider said: "Nigel met with the show's producers and decided he has taken Dennis as far as he can."

This is the line that scared me!!!!!!!!!!!!!! EE viewers will plummet that I can be sure of losing Shane,Tracy-Ann, Kim, Jessie, Letitia, Michelle, Nigel in such quick succession only seems to me show that the show in some kind of crisis

[Princess]

EastEnders is in big trouble.
