nah dont think june or wendy will leave - unless they wana retire......?
Maybe James Alexandra will leave.....also kacey ainsworth probably wont stay much longer. Her character is kind of at a dead end, what with the kalfie plot ending at Christmas and the majority of slaters leaving. Unless she gets back with billy and is welcomed back into the mitchell fold
I've got a feeling if anyone to leave it would be:
James Alexandrou
Natalie Cassidy
Billy Murray
Kacey Ainsworth

I have a feeling they may be leaving next ...:searchme: I think they'll stay their contracts are up for renewal around about this time and I think they'll probably be signed up for atleast another year which is good because they're a great family unit :)
I personally don't think June Brown or Wendy Richard would ever leave unless they really did want to retire!

Which wig? I never really notice when they wear wigs. I know Dot now wears a wig and Peggy's wore one in her time for one of her hairstyles but I don't really notice them to be honest.

Just watch the hairlines u some times can tell..Wendys real hair is finally grown out...Sharon has wayyyy too many hair extensions..cos it just looks un natural..power of observation LOL
I know Big Mo sometimes wears a wig as well.
I don't think any of the mentioned will leave. There are rumours about Big Mo, Charlie and Johnny but I don't think any of them will leave.
I think it will be quiet for a while then the next batch will start.

She's already leaving - in the Autumn I think.
I think Kacey Ainsworth will go soon - maybe not this year, but next year I think. Hopefully they'll manage to keep Johnny Allen around a bit longer, but if they don't do something with his character I can see Billy Murray wanting to walk.

Bill Murray is a great actor to be honest.. I just see him sort of stuck in a rut.. EE needs to do something about his story line to keep him interesting, or other wise as you said,, he will just leave...:nono:
we'll be stuck with the millers, the beales, pauline and the brannings and trumeans until the end

There has now been a rumor or a confirmation that everyone in the Slater family is leaving.
Dare I say Sonia and Martin ????:rotfl:
i dont know, possibly, in a few years, natalie is a very talemntred actress and could have left ages ago, but she respects the show for giving her the chance to shine and i think she will stick by it until she believes her character has run its course, and james is a poor actor, so he wont find anything else so he'll stay too
There has now been a rumor or a confirmation that everyone in the Slater family is leaving.
i really hope its a rumour, besides big mo is a harris and little mo is a mitchell, :p so thats a way to save them lol! but i know what you mean
Actually thinking about it and given his recent behaviour as much as he is being paid Steve McFadden aka Phil Mitchell could well benext if he doesn't start behaving. Unless of course it's too late...Tina has been a waste of resources.
To keep Billy Murray they will have to give him some gritty and dramatic storylines or he'll walk.
Personally It is looking more and more to me that the problems may well be in the writing and Production dept, although some good stuff has been put out these past couple of weeks with the Millers..
There has now been a rumor or a confirmation that everyone in the Slater family is leaving.
I heard something like that a while back and at the time it was said the only Slater who had been saved was Zoe (Michelle Ryan) and that was due to her sex symbol status. In a way the Millers have now taken over from the Slaters.
With regards to Big Mo and Charlie not enough is being or has been done with their characters..

i still say peggy and charlie get together! it strengthens both the mitchell and slater families!!!!
i will never except the millers have replaced the slaters, they will never be as cherished to me as the slaters, i must admit i like the millers now, after just under a year of sheer resentment, this demi/leo drugs OD conclusion has made me like the millers but never as much as the slaters!

Disagree. Jake(Joel) I can see being around for a very long time providing the character is given the right kind of storylines, he is a strong character. Dawn Miller I can also see a lot of potential for, same with Joe (I know we haven't seen them yet but it's just an instinct I have) Naomi I think she will grow on me but I need to see the character a lot more, vey early days yet.
The remaining Slaters there is potential there to.

I love the Millers. No I think Peggy and Johnny:)
I think maybe Kacey will leave next, I mean, whats going to happen when everyone finds out she having "fun" with Alfie. There are some that I think will always be there though, like Pauline, Pat etc...

i agree this molfie stuff has not done Mo any favours, she's cut her ties with Billy and will have done so with the Slaters when this comes out, the whole sqaure will hate her for this alfie stuff
like kat, i believe she should go out on a high, so we remember her for her abuse storyline, rape storyline, billy romance and self defence storyline instead of molfie and all events leading from it
I love the Millers. No I think Peggy and Johnny:)
am i the only one to think peggy and charlie being together is a good idea!!??
am i the only one to think peggy and charlie being together is a good idea!!??I agree with you BB...they were really good together before Harry came along (and Frank too), they're a great double act and I think there should be romance in there for them both..
If they had Peggy and Charlie together agian it would just be deja vu.
But they never really got together as a couple - it was more friendship. I don't the writers will put them together as a couple but I would have liked to have seen it happen
If they had Peggy and Charlie together agian it would just be deja vu.
as jojomum said they never got together, as charlie was about to go up and tell her how he felt, Harry had beaten him too it! :mad:
i reckon peggy knows she needs to settle down, shes too old for all this drama and action, she needs to settle down and if charlie made another advance she should see sense and marry him, more like in a dot and jim way, not passionate but their is genuine affection there
christmas dinners with the mitchells and the slaters, imagine the looks and awkard silences, has peggy ever had a sucessful xmas dinner? and at the breakfast table big mo picking up her sasuage and eating it whole, while Peggy cuts it into small peices with her knife and fork looking down on her! lol!
Xmas day would be fantastic - I could imagine the slaters starting to argue and then chucking the food at each other and Peggy sat there horrified by it all - excellent

or as it may turn out this year in Minty/Sam's one bedroomed flat!
Peggy would still want her family around the table with her, they'd be all squashed in, though the way the slaters have left and are leaving, it could be that they spend Xmas there - which just made me think - where are they all going to live. You're right BB, there's Minty and Garys (cause Minty would never see Mrs M on the street) or Sam's, and won't she be inside at that point??

Good point! Where will the mitchells live?
Surely they must aquire the vic?
Maybe billy would let them stay in his little flat? :hmm:
But sam will be banged up by then (probably) so it will only be peggy, phil, grant (and courtney?)
Nah.....just cant imagine that lot living anywhere but the vic!!

billy hasnt got a flat anymore, he lives in pats house. and peggy wouldnt want to live in same house as pat!
the mitchells will be living in sam's one bedroomed flat surely, it will be intretsing to see them without the vic, as they cant lord over walford without it which means we'll see a new side to them

Oooo this is going to get so interesting!!!! I can't wait - the matriarch of Walford with no where to stay but a 1 bed flat.......
exactly this will provide some fantastic scenes! and if the vic were ever to be sold wouldnt it be great if she was outbid by someone like ian beale or pat evans who she hates!!!
But it would be fun though - Peggy staying in her old house but no longer owning it, but her arch rival owns it instead - the bitchiness etc, would be fantastic to watch, especially with Pat reminding Peggy that its not her house etc
so he does!! no we couldnt expect pat and peggy to live in the same house...think of the arguements :eek:
peggy would rather go homeless than sleep under the same roof as "that cow!"

What a good idea. Perhaps the BBC should produce a new soap centred around Dennis the disfunctional hard man and Shaz. The few survivors could play supporting roles and perhaps some really good actors could become involved in exciting story lines written by expert scriptwriters. Well, it's nice to dream.

time will tell, hopefully tough she will be able to stay, she lasted for a few years doing the 4 episodes a week schedule, but as ya say id rather see her fit and out of the show than in it and deteraiting, i love her to death shes so fab, hopefully there will be a whole lot of peggy action for years to come yet!

I dont think babs is back for the long haul or grant is gonna stick around ether,and now there must be a large qestion mark over phill
I don't think they should stick around. In fact, I think it's a pity they are returning to the show at all. The producers clearly think that pulling back as many of the cast that were in the show when it was more successful will help to improve ratings. I'm not at all sure about trying to turn the clock back and if this fails more of the cast will desert!

why was it sucessful, because there will characters that were well invented and well written, that the public loved and tuned in for, so if you bring back these characters that the public love they will tune in once more, there is nothing wrong with bringing the best bits of the past to help the future, well thats what i think anyway, if youre telling me youll be satisifed with the millers, fat pat and pauline then well what can i say?

I think the key words there are well written. It doesn't matter who the characters are, if they are written right then they'll work. So if the reason people might not be satisfied with the Millers and Pauline is because of the writing at the moment (which I don't actually have a problem with), then whose to say that the Mitchells will be written to a better standard then them when they come back?
I think some people need to get an hold of themselves some people think that it's a one character show etc if they'd been watching for a long time they'd realise the show isn't even at it's best with these characters in it!

eastenders know that the mitchells are whats needed to boost ratings and salvage the show, so they are gonna be poutting them in every storyline and make sure people will watch the show, so they'll ensure the writing is top knotch overwise there will be the hype over the return, big ratings and then a lot of dissapointment and harsh critiscm, they need to make sure the mitchells returns and storylines are well written, which hopefully they will be, and well acted, which im sure they will be.
I agree with you 100% blackcat!
The writing is an essential part of ee and their storylines. If scripts are rubbish, the performances and the development of the actors involved gets down played.
So the Mitchell’s are coming back -and they are good actors (except for Peggy) but does that mean they will work and people will like them just because they once did? Their comeback will only be successful if the writing is up to scratch and lets face it, even though writing has improved over the last year, its still not a patch on what it was in the 90’s.

If that happens, just kill me now. Please.

Hmm...big hype over the return, and then a lot of disappointment...now that's ringing a bell for some reason, and I think it begins with D.
If the only characters they can write well for, and the only characters they can expect people to watch for, are one family, where one is leaving and one is only staying a few weeks then they really have a problem.

i agree Den's return was a disaster, and they need to learn from their mistakes, i think the Mitchells are there as the quick start of the "hey were gunning for number 1 soap status" people will tune in for them, get hooked on other storylines in the process, and then well theyll keep watching, as you say it will just be peggy after a bit, so the show ill move on again, the mitchells are just the cataylst for a new start in eastenders

you think? :rotfl:
I thought she was absolutly terrible. A big song and dance about nothing. I wanted to switch off.
I don't rate Barbara Windsor . She has carried on her role from the Carry On films straight onto eastenders imo.
I respect those that do like her and think she is a great actress, but to me she is one of the poorest on the show and is only popular because she is Mitchell and the mother of two great/popular actors.
I suspect that with so many popular characters leaving the Mitchells will be domiating most of 2005. This, I'm not looking forward to but I'll watch anyway. :)

I don't think they'll be dominating most of 2005 but I feel you're hypocritical (and I'm saying this in the nicest possible way) because you moan about the Mitchells dominating the show yet don't mind it being dominated by something else i.e. Shannis.
I don't think Barbara Windsor has brought her Carry On role into EastEnders atall they told her to change her laugh so it doesn't osund like it did in Carry On for starters!
I'm surprised some people here can remember Carry On!

Well they seem to be getting rid of loads of characters this year even characters have only been on the show for a while!

I never said or implied that I didn't mind/wanted shannis dominating eastenders. :)

They are my mums old tapes :p
I never said or implied that I didn't mind/wanted shannis dominating eastenders. :)Well your complaint was about the Mitchells dominating the show yet you don't seem to mind when your favourite characters are doing it. It just goes to show that we all have favourites and we'd like them to be at the centre of all the storylines but it's just not feasible long term :)
One half of the duo you like has been in it since 1985 and is a popular character I agree but the other half only came into the show in 2003. The way some people are banging on about them leaving is just ridiculous the show doesn't revolve around them. Princess Sharon went off in the nineties for a long time and I did miss her and think the show would never be the same but it had some great times following her exit and as for pretty boy Dennis who entered the show in 2003 need I say anymore?
Dot left in the nineties too and I thought the show would be dire without her but it was still good and managed to survive :p
Sharon will be back as per usual once Tish gets bored of unemployment (unles she does have a baby) and as for Nigel Harman his acting skills are limited so he'll be back too unless they kill him off.

Amen BB what u said about Babs.. shes a terrific actress .. and I love her as Peggy...long may she regin !!!!:)
I would mind if they were dominating the whole show. Don't get me wrong I love having them on screen but you can’t have too much of a good thing. I wouldn't mind if they dominated the next 4 months if I'm honest though because after that we won't see them but on a whole then I honestly wouldn't want alot of them and that’s the truth.
I think people who are banging on about them leaving isn't much to do with not wanting them to go (although I suppose that’s part of it) but is more to do with the fact that they have decided to leave just 8 weeks into their arrival. Its quite shocking and considering how many people were looking forward to them coming back and starting to enjoy having them back, its disappointing for them that they are going so soon. We all have our favourites so when they leave, it provokes different reactions. Not only that I think shannis fans are let down by the lack of development in their characters over the past year and we were hoping that we were going to see that now. Yet again, wasted opportunities.
As for the show carrying on without them, of course it will! I disagree with all those who think that it won't and I still stand by my belief that it will survive. Sharon and Dennis are popular characters but they don't make the show. My only concern is that there are so many popular characters leaving at once and this does not look good for the show. They will have to introduce more characters and develop them and whilst some may work, others won’t. The unfortunate thing is that they are losing well established characters but as they say the show must go on.. I’ll continue to watch but throughout the past 2 years, Chrissie, Sharon and Dennis were the three characters that held my attention. Fingers crossed I’ll find another character who I’ll like just as much. :)

Thats true, but to me they were what kept me entertained over the past two years and lets face it the last couple of years in ee are nothing in comparison to its hey dey -even now.
I don't remember saying that but if I did, then yeah I suppose that does have some minor truth. I do watch eastenders for more than just Sharon and Dennis. I've been watching ee for well over 10 years so I won’t turn off now but it was their relationship that kept me interested in the rough patch of ee. If the standard off eastenders is what it was like in the 90's then there would be more keeping me interested than them. That’s not to say they are the only ones I like right now. The Millers and Dot and Jim are also favourites of mine. :)

They'll be someone else who you'll enjoy watching :)
The show will continue to evolve and new characters will come in.

Absolutely :) This is one of the reasons why I won't turn off. I'm sure there will be someone for me to bleet on about just as much as I do with Sharon/Dennis/Chrissie. :)

I remember thinking the show wasn't going to work when Grant left back in 1999 but then the Slaters came along and we had some good storylines with them in their heyday and I sort of latched onto them. I've sort of moved on from them now though due to their storylines etc, nothing of interest going on at the moment.

They're kinda boring, but I don't see them getting axed. I don't know why, I just don't. I don't want them to leave either, it'd send Pauline straight back to Moan City, and she's been getting so much better lately.
