They were probably contracted to finish filming otherwise they'd be sued

I just can't see how they wouldn't have had leeway to get their exit changed when they first approached with it in (I'm guessing) spring time 2016? (At that time no scripts would have been written etc). They could have surely said 'We don't want to die' and had their way as the iconic and long serving cast members they are? I've heard stories of actors refusing stories before.

If they kill of Pat even though Pam begged them not to then i doubt they would care about 2 who were there half the time she was

But then I think they would've been written out (and killed off-screen) as a sort of "**** you" and that would've been worse... at least they got to finish their story

I don't know though

Doesn't mean he "should" put a fake smile on like you suggested. Stop being so pissing offensive.

Oh I mean they could have still accepted they were getting written out. I know they couldn't have been like 'no we're not leaving' when SOC told them he wanted to write Ronnie and Roxy out - I just thought they would have had leeway to say 'We'll go another way just not dying' considering they're both clearly bothered and upset by it.

Well yes they would if you dont want anyone to know you would act the opposite not mopping around

She's too old.

Dennis was a miracle baby to start with considering she was infertile up to that point.

There are other roots

(Especially since as far as we know SOC approached them with the drowning story line and they were happy with it, not outright told them they were dying)

An attempt to make Johnny interesting failed

Its like being sacked from another job you dont get to decide how you leave

Screaming at Abi cockblocking though

Yes because everyone's the exact same. I forgot.

I'm not sure what trees have to do with this.

Aw :(

What if there's more than one exit?

My work has two doors.

Steve McDonald >>>>

It's not like another job at all.

Other jobs you simply leave. I know I didn't have an exit storyline when I left my last job.

I don't even watch Corrie as well

They should stop dwelling on the past and be grateful they have another job to walk into because many actors don't

Mess I was just going to say how do you decide how you leave at any old job?

Manager: We're sacking you.
Me: Well ok but I don't want to die I want the door left open.

And womack is retweeting all of the stuff about them being wasted and there was no need for the exits to be so final.

The scalping begins.

You're so tedious.

They're not dwelling.
