Agreed, lizann. I think Ray has said these types of things (& he has been asked these types of questions) in the past whenever his contract is up for renewal. Let's hope it isn't true, but with Ray not getting any younger, one day....Maybe with this type of interview he is/they are trying to guage the latest public reaction to him ever leaving? If/when the time comes for him to go, it will be on his terms i.e. they won't just not renew his contract (imagine the backlash if it got out that they had done that!). As Ray says in the interview, he wouldn't know what to do with himself if he just stopped - for mine, it would seem more likely that he would just downgrade his role bit by bit, with less onscreen time etc until....(would they ever kill him off?). And now with the Martha storyline, they maybe have a ready made future exit for Alf (& even for Roo for that matter), with them reconciling & he goes to live with her in Merimbula??
