She told the Metro: “It’s always been the case that cast members come and go from serial dramas but I’m not a big fan of axing sprees, because I think you have to have faith in the talent you inherit and need to work out the best way to use it. Pat Phelan could always pop up in Walford to thin the herd a bit (Credit: ITV) “I’ve watched shows before when there’s been a mass-clear out, and sometimes you run the risk of changing the landscape so much, the show feels really odd and different for quite a while. “It’s also not great for morale, which is important to me. “I’d rather do my best with the existing casts that I’ll be working alongside, and hope that enables them to do their best with stories that feel true to their characters.” She will also have overall control of medical serial dramas Casualty and Holby City as part of her BBC role which should keep her very busy. Kate will take over the shows later this month, with her work beginning to be seen on screen around Christmas. Who do you think should be axed from EastEnders?
