As if she's left again for good though. I swear it was always marketed as a break until Jessie and Shane went on This Morning and were like um yeah we were axed.

I do think that due to SOC's style we might see Les and Pam move back to Walford in a year or so when his era is underway. I'm not sure but he definitely likes the characters considering he's made them the focus since he's taken over until their departure and they do fit his era well. Maybe he thinks the show at present is not right for them.

Kat was kinda tragic in her second stint (I never saw any of her first but judging from a few I've seen clips she seemed great). Jessie is a fantastic actress though.

EE was the best when Deidrick Santer had it (from what I've seen I pretty much started watching from when his era began). It's been either mediocre or terrible since.

I thought DTC was fantastic until that summer where everyone thought Mick ****ed Raine Cross when it was Ian.

In retrospect DTC'a era was really hit and miss and was full of big attention grabbing stories that didn't really have all that much substance, or in a lot of cases, even a ending to them.

Carol's cancer was probably the only story he, for the most part, got right.

DTC had some great stories but certain aspects were really poor

He's a sensationalist after all

It was basically a rehash of Santer's era... But not as good.

DTCs era was terrible and I'm not even bothered about admitting it. Who Killed Lucy and the aftermath of Psycho Bobby was painful to watch.

Carol's cancer, Stacey's psychosis, Jane's return and rejuvenating Shirley from glorified extra to major character are DTC's strong points. I'd say bringing back Kathy also - not because her return was good beyond her first appearance in the live episode but because he ended that whole will she/won't she return saga among fans.

Who Killed Lucy?, Shirley being Mick's mum and Phil's shooting/never ending wedding day to Sharon were his low points. (And all were rehashes of greatest hits with Who Killed Archie, Kat being Zoe's mum and Who Shot Phil that he said he wanted to avoid)

Linda's rape was great, too. Shabnam's stillborn story was also really good, but the way Kush was used wasn't very good.

I also loved evil Abi and the introduction of Carmel

I sort of think DTC would have stayed longer if Who Killed Lucy was a success. He made a joke out of the storyline by trying to turn Bobby into some sort of up and coming psychopath rather than an innocent child who accidentally killed his sister.

Mess I forgot both of those. Linda's rape was amazing at first but another story line dragged out unnecessarily and sensationalised with the addition of Dean being Mick's brother. Shabnam's stillbirth was perhaps my favourite actually.

I have a feeling Whitney was DTC's first choice at Lucy's killer and I'm not sure whether I wished he'd stuck with her or I'm glad he changed to Bobby. Having it be the child felt like such a cop out though. I remember when people predicted Ben would be Archie's killer as a joke and then 5 years down the line the 'joke' actually came true when it was Bobby who killed Lucy.
