Not the wisest thing to do if you want to keep your job!Originally Posted by alan45
There's an interesting little article in next week's Radio Times titled, "6 ways to leave a soap". No.1 is "In a coffin" It says, "Death is the favoured method of retiring a popular soap character...EastEnders has bumped off an alarming 93 characters in just under 27 years. There's no coming back from the grave - unless you're Dirty Den...some were killed off at the actors' request, while others have been dispatched, it's said, because the actors were a nightmare to work with."
The next four are "In a cab", "To chokey", "In a hurry", "On a plane".
No. 6 in the list of ways to leave is "Happy ever after" with the comment, "Hardly ever happens."
