View Full Version : Is Nigel Harman set to quit EastEnders?
Taken from Sky News!
Is Nigel Harman set to quit EastEnders?
The hunky star - who returns to the show later this year - has told bosses that he will "reconsider" his contract nearer the time. He told my moles: "I may want to do other things, life is not all soap now, is it?"
I fear his fans will be in tears at this news.
I don't think he'll leave! :D

I hope he dosn't leave,as long as he stops this soppy i love sharon winging and goes back to being the old unpredictale chip of the old block,i suppose it depends on what offers he's had,we can't blame him if he strikes while the irons hot cos beind loyal to ee will do him no good,
I will miss him if he goes, but like he said there is life after soap. Also he has a very high status so it was only a matter of time before he had other bigger offers, which will happen to others as well. It's great starring in a soap but it is really just a starter point..
they should give him more storylines like the dalton one where he killed him that was a good one and his feud with phil but howe many times does he want to leave then return its becoming abit of a joke now

Hope its short and sweet and we see the back of him soon :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:
Grrr that woman makes me mad, she always has moles everywhere and she talks out of her bum sometimes!!! Daisy38 take anything from there with a pinch of salt. Nigel's only just coming back to Walford so he's not going to be leaving again in a hurry.
It may have some truth to it but I cannot believe anything from Sky news!!!

I agree, nor the sun.

the suns actually been quite reliable over recent months

I agree he should stay and not keep taking long breaks. When Nigel was in it full time it was great and his character was developing nicely, by keep taking breaks you just end up loosing the fllow of things in the end because of things moving so quickly. Also you "get out of character". There is plenty of scope for Dennis to be involved in some great storylines with all the characters they have, especially the latest editions. Romantic, Dramatic, Emotional etc. He does now own the Bookies.

I'll take that back then. :)

though i do agree that the sun is sometimes unreliable, just recently it seems to be quite good, maybe its just luck???

It's like all the tabloids/press you just have to take things at face value. To be honest I only believe "The Rumours" when it appears on the offical site or here it from Tina Baker or other reliable source. In fairness the storylines are changed sometimes and in the big ones they do film more than one ending etc.
The Sun is a little better but that Sky news lies their face off!!!
That's the impression I'm getting, it shouldn't be allowed.

i hope he doesn't leave
He needs some really good storylines, the whole Sharon thing is getting boring, it will be great if they do marry them off but don't make them boring or he will leave! :D
I think Dennis should start to dig about discovering what happened to Den.
I think there's no doubt that he'll leave eventually. He has a certain air of 'i'm bigger than the show'. He'll leave get a bit of work then fail and mabye return to EE if he can. I really don't think he's a strong enough actor to supprt himself outside of EE.
Though i think it'll be a year or 2 before we see him leave
He has been in other things too *JSW* although he is a pretty average actor.

Yes, he can get Chrissie caught and then she can leave! :D

do you not like chrissie then?
No, not really. I don't know why though! She bugs me!
She is a great villain though. I want Dennis to discover the truth but not to get Chrissie arrested. Maybe Chrissie can kill Sharon if Sharon discovers the truth and then roast her in the oven. Chrissie may like a bit of pork :D

I hope that they think it was Zoe who killed Den and have her arrested! That would be well good and make Chrissie a proper villan!
read that in the Daily star the other week if he decides to leave then thats up to him
when he comes back what he going to do - get married to Sharon, and live happily ever after :sick: what else is there for him to do???
There is plenty they can do with Dennis. He is the most complex character to grace our screens, well to me anyway. The list is endless. These are some of the storylines that ee could/should consider for him
Dennis's sexual abuse- this has lots of potential and needs unravelling some more. It could be a real eye opener. Makes a change from all the female victims of molestation
Sharon and Dennis can try IVF or surrogacy -that’s a real life issue, which hasn't been tacked in ee before
Dennis vs Phil/Johnny
How the death of Den is going o affect him and Sharon
A secret child out there?
and lots more. I can be here forever
Just for the record though, Nigel has NOT stated that he is leaving, just that he will re-consider his options nearer to the time and that would have to be next year because he has just signed a years contract. Doesn't everyactor re-consider their options just before they sign? I would take it with a pinch of salt.
Zoe is leaving anyways and she's not going to be arrested for Den's murder because there's a spoiler about a plane which Zoe gets on. One can only assume she goes to live abroad somewhere possibly in Spain with her best friend Kelly Taylor (Brooke Kinsella).

Im not bothered if he leaves....infact i actually haven't noticed he's been gone. I used to like him but cant stand him since the whole "shannis" thing developed.
i wouldn't blame him if he did leave
i hope he doesnt leave, me and alot of people have missed him.

he has a contract fo 2006 and if he wants to stay he can and if he dont he will go but on an interview i read he says he loves eastenders and not going to quit yet

and claps! :cheer:
whether he wants to leave or not (which he hasn't said) he is still here until summer next year so we have a whole year of him
...also Nigel didn't say he was going to leave just that he was going to 're-consider' his options. Nothing I didn't know anyway and as for Ann Montini, she is very relible with her spoilers.
Anway I 'm looking forward to having him back. I just love his relationship with Sharon and he is a character with most depth on the show. :)
He has been in other things too *JSW* although he is a pretty average actor.
Indeed but nothing massive that I can recall. He'll have hype from here to Heathwood but when it comes to delivering the 'goods' so to speak in anything larger scale I fear a flop.
I haven't really seen him in anything else but know he's been in a few other things. Personally I would have to see him try first of all before I judged him. I don't think he's a poor actor although he isn't the best either.
I'll be honest, i think he has strong enough ability to support himself in EE but if you want to be able to do well in the wider world of film and tv then you need to be strong to very strong, look at all of the characters that have left and failed....
I just see average as the way to describe him. Though of course its so easy to be proved wrong!
It also depends on whether or not he's only acting the way he does because he's in that particular programme. If he does leave I can see him staying on the tele in some way or another, I don't think he's awful enough to just vanish.
No I agree, but I think there would be some form of a downfall and it may be due to hype. A big deal will be made about his departure, people will think he'll be going to be in Hollywood film etc etc
The larger the hype the bigger the drop I fear....
I would really miss him... he's like the only bit of eye candy there is for us girs!!!! However I HATE Shannis, so if that whole thing is about to kick off again, I might be only too glad to see the back of him.... and that's one thing I never thought I'd be saying!!!

I don't think he'll leave! :D Well if he leaves good luck to him. At the end of the day its not good to stay in a soap for years on end other wise you will be known for Playing that chacther. So good on him if he wants to do other things.

i dont really think that he has any plans to go soon. i think he'll probably see how the new-look EE will go over the next year and then see how things go. he always said he would stay as long as he felt challenged, and thats a more than fair comment to make. :)
BUT if he does decide to go (which i hope not) i pray that they do justice to the characters and relationships they have created. i cant see sharon coping with heartbreak yet again and id hate to see him killed off so i really dont know... :searchme:

He hasn't got plans to leave 'Enders at the moment but he has always said that if he didn't enjoy it anymore then he would leave. He's really happy working with Tish. You can see they both really enjoy working together and I don't think he would have come back if she didn't and vice versa. I hope he's in it for a year or so longer! I just hope they don't stretch the character too far and like someone said that when he does go the character is given justice! :D

Thanks for that!!!!
I only just noticed this thread, and i was like well, :angry: :wall: and screaming!! Then i had to read through 6 pages of it!! I hope he don't leave! Well not at the moment, i mean he can't be in it forever (even though i want him to be) I'm so glad that he is coming back (with Tish!!!) and is staying for a while!
Everyone thought that Tish weren't coming back but she has and it looks like she is staying around for a bit! Lets just hope Mr Harman does the same (I love him! :wub: )
