Walford goodbye … Annette Badland, who played scheming Aunt Babe, is the latest star to exit the BBC soap
And BBC sources told how her exit has fuelled fears among cast members that they will be the next singled out to leave Walford by new boss Sean O’Connor.

One said: “The rumours on set are that despite so many cast members leaving, many more will be following them.

“And understandably that has created a lot of concern. Several of the actors are waiting with bated breath, convinced that Sean’s axe will start swinging again.”

As long as it is a satisfying end for her leaving.

She's caused so much pain and misery she needs something equally horrid to happen to her.

“The rumours on set are that despite so many cast members leaving, many more will be following them."

Well if Jane is one of them I might just be tempted back!

Crikey, mass exodus, June Brown rumoured to be leaving next year, so many main characters. Les and Pam Coker should have been kept , Kyle's character could have been developed. Got a feeling the Queen Vic is heading for new management later next year. Hope and pray it's not going to be Alfie Moon .
