[edit] Question

Are there any known plans for Grant Mitchell to make another return to EastEnders? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by AlexWilkes (talk • contribs).

NO! Please stop asking! — AnemoneProjectors (talk) 22:30, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Is/was debate

Until they kill the character off or unless Kemp retired etc we must assume he can return at any moment and therefore is an is not a was, SqueakBox 20:53, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Until we hear any confirmation that he will return, we must assume he's not going to, and therefore he is a was not an is. — AnemoneProjectors (talk) 22:18, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

If you feel characters who have not died but have left the show should be refered to in present tense, please can you take it up at WP:WPEE. It was decided about a year ago to refer to them in past tense. As I've said elsewhere, soap operas are different to shows like Desperate Housewives or Lost and I feel different rules should apply. — AnemoneProjectors (talk) 22:28, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

I dont see any need to do that. Something decided a year ago can easily be changed now, please provide a diff for your claim. Or alternatively and much better give me a reputable source that Grant Mitchell was rather than is a character in EE, SqueakBox 21:18, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

What claim? I know it can be easily changed, that's why I suggested taking it up with the Wikiproject. But actually, I don't think it would be that easy as there as many characters who have left and not died. Grant's gone to Portugal, isn't that enough? Yes he could return, and when we find out that he will return, we'll change it to "is". Until then, it should say as "was". — AnemoneProjectors (talk) 23:37, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

Well either you cite this or it will have to be rewritten, SqueakBox 23:44, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

Cite that he's left? Do you watch EastEnders? He's not in the cast anymore! — AnemoneProjectors (talk) 00:17, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Trust me, he's left. The citation for that is the fact that he no longer appears on screen in the show. He made a 3 month return; and no more plans have been announced - therefore he is a past character, who no longer appears in the show.

All I get to watch is the video clips, SqueakBox 02:39, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Then listen to the people who watch it and are virtually experts on the show; he's not in it anymore. Trampikey ^{(talk to me)(contribs)} 11:09, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
