Ditto. You can't 'axe' a character until their contract is up for renewal. At this point we can't know who he intends to keep and who he wants to bin. A character not being axed right now should absolutely not be taken as a declaration of faith in them and it's only really over the next half a year to year that we'll begin to hear more (and I anticipate we will).

disagree - if they are getting negotive feed back - plans are in the pipe line.

Yes, but it's true. They all have contracts, you can't write them out until said contract expires.

Otherwise you'll be paying them until the end of the contract for doing no work. Not very good usage of the license fee.

Exactly. Waterhog doesn't seem to understand that you absolutely cannot stop an actor from working and thus getting paid because the character is a waste. Otherwise the likes of Fatboy and insipid Joey would have long pissed off.

Business over sentiments and all that. Popular soaps are no exception.
