Apparently, the actor who played Martin Platt was in the same situation and refused to act out a storyline. His contract wasn't renewed thereafter.
Certainly true Daz concernng these soap actors. A different story with A lister film actors who often have creative input on the script and even choice of directors. But this is soapland and these actors are limited in terms of control. If they get good and fed up they can leave and take their chances. But with most of them having limited talent the choices for them keep that sort of acton at bay.
