Members TimWil Posted April 27, 2015 Members Share Posted April 27, 2015 I don't think Forde is terrible-just mediocre and uninteresting. I think they will definitely recast in a few years. Liam is absolutely a legacy character. Allison King will be taking an "extended break" from Coronation Street next year: http://m.digitalspy.com/soaps/s3/coronation-street/news/a645337/alison-king-is-taking-a-break-from-coronation-street-next-year.html Oh, and bye bye, Craig Charles (Lloyd, Coronation Street): http://m.digitalspy.com/soaps/s3/coronation-street/news/a645377/coronation-street-craig-charles-leaving-show-to-film-red-dwarf.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ~bl~ Posted May 5, 2015 Members Share Posted May 5, 2015 No not Bossy. We can't lose Bossy, can Bossy stay with Naomi and Sheila please? I'm not really a big fan of Paul's dog yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ben Posted May 7, 2015 Author Members Share Posted May 7, 2015 IN Coronation Street: Andrew Paul will play Dan Jones, Liz's new love interest. http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/soaps/s3/coronation-street/news/a646049/the-bill-star-andrew-paul-joins-coronation-street-cast-to-romance-liz-mcdonald.html Emmerdale: Denise Black (Joanie Wright) returns in June. She'll return with Cain's son, Kyle. http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/soaps/s12/emmerdale/news/a645863/emmerdale-denise-black-to-return-as-joanie-wright.html OUT Coronation Street: Hayley Tammadon will leave her role as Andrew Beckett. Neighbours: Tom Oliver (Lou) is no longer regularly recurring. He has officially left the show, but will return at the end of the year in a guest capacity for a "significant storyline". He wanted to quit permanently, but TPTB persuaded him to make fleeting guest appearances. Who knows if it will be a one-off guest stint to wrap up his story properly? http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/soaps/s14/neighbours/news/a645621/neighbours-star-tom-oliver-cuts-back-on-lou-role.html Calan MacKenzie (Bailey Turner) has also officially left. He's already departed on Oz screens last week, with Lou. Damien Fotious has finished his story arc, as the evil Dr. Nick Patrides. He left Oz screen last week. BIB: Me neither. I think Bossy should move in with the Kennedys, that way her future would be secure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ben Posted August 18, 2015 Author Members Share Posted August 18, 2015 Wow, BE, mega update! To add: Neighbours IN: Anthony Engelman (Stonefish Rebecchi) and Morgan Baker (Callum Rebecchi) both return sometime soon. Their returns featured in an end-of-ep preview last week at Oz pace. It looks like Callum's return will only be a cameo appearance via Skype. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted August 18, 2015 Members Share Posted August 18, 2015 Mimi Keene has also left Eastenders. Neighbours has cast Piper. http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/soaps/s14/neighbours/news/a664056/neighbours-bringing-in-piper-willis-as-actress-mavournee-hazel-lands-role.html Some fans think Wareing's HO role is a last-minute fill-in for Daniella Westbrook.

Members Ben Posted August 19, 2015 Author Members Share Posted August 19, 2015 I think it is. The story fits, as DW's character Trudy Ryan was linked to Trevor, and I think Ben's daughter was a drug addict or something; plus, Trudy was an unlikeable, evil bitch with no redeeming qualities at all. It makes sense that they would just create an identikit character, instead of axing the storyline. Hopefully KW can inject some charm into the role.
