Members TimWil Posted June 20, 2015 Members Share Posted June 20, 2015 (edited) Well, that's really bad news. Would it be too much to hope that Michael French returns for a brief period for her exit? I think he'd at least think it over. Edited June 20, 2015 by TimWil 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BetterForgotten Posted June 21, 2015 Members Share Posted June 21, 2015 I'm glad she came back for as long as she did since she was adamant about never returning to the show when she left the last time in 1999. The fact she stayed on this long was a treat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TimWil Posted June 21, 2015 Members Share Posted June 21, 2015 I agree, BetterForgotten. I'm very grateful she came back if onlly so we could see Carol and Bianca put the Dan Sullivan mess behind them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ben Posted June 21, 2015 Members Share Posted June 21, 2015 No real surprise to learn that Carol is going. Makes sense why they chose to get rid of Liam. They already stated that LC only re-signed with the show last year specifically for the cancer story, otherwise she would have left with David, who would have only stayed for 2 episodes originally. I think this was the time to also say buh-bye to Sonia, who has completed her role within the cancer story, and doesn't really need to stick around for the long term. But, sadly that isn't happening. I guess the Jackson/Butcher house will now only consist of Sonia/Tina/Whitney and probably Lee, eventually. How dull. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TimWil Posted June 21, 2015 Members Share Posted June 21, 2015 (edited) On further thought I think I'd actually like to see Alan come back to Walford and escort Carol out of there. Perhaps Blossom has died, Carol starts out consoling Alan but finds that she still loves him. I'd like David to come back for another extended period of time, hopefully if Janine ever comes back. They're two of my all-time favorite characters. Edited June 21, 2015 by TimWil 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted June 21, 2015 Members Share Posted June 21, 2015 I'd love to see Alan come back to reunite with Carol. They were one of my favorite couples. Sadly I think she will leave alone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TimWil Posted June 21, 2015 Members Share Posted June 21, 2015 I think you're probably right, Carl. She'd better get Julia's Theme this time. I don't think she got it the other two exits, did she? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted June 21, 2015 Members Share Posted June 21, 2015 I don't think so, no. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NothinButAttitude Posted June 22, 2015 Members Share Posted June 22, 2015 (edited) She better get a Julia's Theme when she exits. There are so many worthless characters in the past decade that got a Julia's Theme on their exit when it wasn't necessary or deserved.

Members BetterForgotten Posted June 22, 2015 Members Share Posted June 22, 2015 Carol's past exits weren't particular happy exits, and I wouldn't be surprised if this one was the same. Or maybe they just won't care and will give her something rushed this time. I doubt we'll ever see her again to be honest. I think it was Patsy Palmer (who I hope never returns as Bianca was a disaster by the end and Patsy was never committed to the show at all) who helped convince her to come back this time around, and unless she really needs the money sometime in the future, I think this is it for Carol in Walford. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BetterForgotten Posted June 22, 2015 Members Share Posted June 22, 2015 (edited) They were great together this last time around, especially since French and Brooks never worked together in the past - they just clicked and the characters are very much two lost souls with a lot in common. Not now, but maybe in a few years, Janine needs to have a return similar to the one Sharon had in 2001 where she's revealed as the new owner of the Vic and evicts the Cartner's. Maybe she can return with a husband and a son, and of course an older Scarlett. I keep debating if I want Scarlett to be the total opposite of Janine and more of a heroine, or a rotten kid who is always causing trouble for Janine (sort of like payback for Janine for her own misdeeds). I really think Janine's extension is the future of the show. This is one if they have the writing behind them though...

Members All My Shadows Posted June 22, 2015 Members Share Posted June 22, 2015 Lindsey Coulson as Carol is one of the reasons I even got into this show. Everything surrounding Billie's death was amazing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TimWil Posted June 22, 2015 Members Share Posted June 22, 2015 I'm tending to believe speculation on other boards that Ben actually knows about Kathy being alive. This would explain his trying to get to Miami with Jay in the flashback to Good Friday 2014. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted June 24, 2015 Members Share Posted June 24, 2015 (edited) The scenes on Monday with that moron Mick parading his baby around to punters like the Lion King (with Linda in the background as always - did this character EVER have a personality?) made me queasy. The show continues to think he is far more popular with fans than he actually is. Edited June 24, 2015 by DRW50 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
