Chrissie Watts

wounder why she is deciding to leave when she signed a contract for another 12 months

I read in one of the soap magazines that it was a joint decision as the writers felt they couldn't do anymore with character after 'den's body being dug up' storyline has run it's course... it's stupid really... i don't see why there going to dig up his body in the first place... she's been a specular actress and has help raise the ratings... why get rid of her?

Because the producers don't want Den under the 'Vic' forever perhaps?
I don't blame them to be honest it's got to be wrapped up somehow it's like the 'Body under the patio' saga in 'Brookside' that had to come up to wrap the storyline up eventually too!

Well we know she wasn't axed it was just a case of Tracy-Ann being so devoted to the programme she mutually agreed with the producers that to maintain realism Chrissie has to leave once Den is found.

They couldn't keep him there forever it just wouldn't be right.

I think the body under the patio storyline was much better than this one.

It was because you had the domestic violence thing and Mandy and Beth were fantastic, this sort of came out of nowhere. I do believe it's paved the way for lots of potential drama though...

She can just go on the run and never be seen or heard from again hence giving the character an happy ending. Okay so the police would be looking for but I'm sure there's loads of places for her to go she could head to Spain for starters.

It worked for Mel and Den

I don't want anybody to go down for the murder that's not where the drama is going to stem from. It's stemming from Sharons reaction and the exits of the remaining key characters Sam and Chrissie it's good that Sam gets arrested etc and we have Chrissie being pushed into Den's grave but I don't want anybody to go down for it.

I don't think either Chrissie or Sam will go down for it as it's Sam's word against Chrissie's so the poilce will never know who actually killed him... and they can't prove it was Chrissie and not Sam or the other way around...
