Thats bad. Now we're in the last month of Lucy Allan's dire era and Paul Marquess episodes airing from July it's a great chance for the show to recover from it's downward spiral.. C4 have been good so far keeping the faith and I do think the show will be axed at some point in the future I don't want it to be too soon.

The show has lost 30 main characters in the last two years either by actors choosing to quit or characters being axed, recently it's improved so there is a lot of work for HO to do to change this.
