[edit] Lydia and Bryan

Are these two characters actually "contract" rather than recurring? Has it been confirmed? and is Jay recurring rather than contract? How long are they staying for? I do admit that this is not like American soaps where they formally announce the status of each actor on the show (contract or recurring) in the magazines.

BTW, is Lydia's name confirmed as Esteller in the magazines? Not to be rude or anything, it does not seem to be a proper English last name if you know what I mean. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 74.12.244.85 (talk • contribs) 25 December 2006, 18:08 (UTC).

Well, this is England, and they don't make specific announcements; so we're doing it by the way they're shown. And it was seen as Esteller on screen. Trampikey (talk to me)(contribs) 20:49, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

If it was seen on screen as Esteller, how come it's been changed to Asler? I thought we used on-screen continuity rather than official website continuity. — AnemoneProjectors (talk) 00:32, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
Rhys said it, so we don't know how it's spelt or if the actor mispronounced it; so we'll use the website as the source of her surname, as "Asler" and "Esteller" sound similar. -Trampikey(talk)(contribs) 00:45, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
Fair enough. You said it was seen. — AnemoneProjectors (talk) 00:49, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
Oops. -Trampikey(talk)(contribs) 18:28, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Kevin Wicks

Has he departed or is he coming back?? It looked like he'd gone but nothing had been announced... — AnemoneProjectors (talk) 00:32, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

He's coming back. -Trampikey(talk)(contribs) 18:28, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
Shame. — AnemoneProjectors (talk) 22:15, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
Why? I like him. :) Ekantik talk 06:10, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
I was only joking :) — AnemoneProjectors (talk) 14:41, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Order?

Is it possible to list these characters in alphabetical order (surname-wise by character)? Or if some other reason is being used please inform me of it. Thanks. Ekantik talk 06:10, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

They are in the order in which they joined the show - fairly obvious when you look at the top of the list :-) Stephenb (Talk) 13:53, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Jean Slater

Is Jean going to be a regular character starting this week as under Characters "J" where they added the profile for Jay, it looks like they are already building a profile for Jean.

[edit] Stuart Laing

I'm awaiting confirmation on this, but apparently on GMTV they said that Stuart Laing is leaving when his contract expires in May... -Trampikey(talk)(contribs) 20:07, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

i hope they make Dawn leave with him. Gungadin 21:19, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
I hope Amanda Drew is staying though because she's the best actress in it at the moment. — AnemoneProjectors (zomg!) 23:17, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
The best actress is Laurie Brett in my opinion. -Trampikey(talk)(contribs) 23:35, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
And the worst actor is........... need I even ask? — AnemoneProjectors (zomg!) 23:49, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
Carly and Dawn tie for worst actress in my opinion. Gungadin 23:51, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
The worst actor (in my opinion) is Phil Daniels by a mile. — AnemoneProjectors (zomg!) 23:59, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
Charlie Jones. Despise him with a passion. RECAST! RECAST! Also, Phil Daniels has gone waaaay downhill! -Trampikey(talk)(contribs) 00:06, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
Well I can forgive Charlie Jones for being bad because he's just a kid, but Phil Daniels is an experienced actor. Burn Gorman and Linda Henry both really showed him up the other day. — AnemoneProjectors (zomg!) 00:14, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
Yeah they did. Stuart Laing isn't that good either, a bit like an old male version of Jade Sharif! -Trampikey(talk)(contribs) 00:27, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
