The Axe

[j.laur5]

Was Joel Nash axed?

Anyone know about Steven in 1991?

I think the actor quit. Sine he returns in 1995 it makes sense

That doesnt mean a thing. Just because some one is let go, does not mean they won;t be asked back again. I fail to follow your logic.

I think that the logic is if the actor is axed he will be too offended to return.

An axing of an actor does not always end up offending them. If it is true that Amy Mizzi was axed(was it ever confirmed?) then why did she keep coming back? When you go into actings, especially working on a soap you can't afford to be angry and offended if they decide to axe you. The fact is that when it comes to certain soap characters the storylines do tend to dry up and what is the point of keeping them around without anything to do, unless they are well established characters (Alf, Irene etc...).

I think Belinda left because she had cancer and needed time off

Another two to add to this thread, is Peter Scarf (Liam Tanner) and Shane Ammann (Curtis Reed) they were axed and it's confirmed in two 1997 issues of Inside Soap which I own.

Dennis Coard (Michael Ross) was also axed :-( confirmed in a 1996 magazine interview with Dennis which I own.

Really. I guessed that about Liam but I thought Curtis was popular. I wonder what their thinking behind that was. There was way more they could have done with him.

I think it can sometimes be sensationalist reporting. Take Curtis for instance. It could merely be that he wasn't offered another contract at the end of his 3 years because the character had ran it's course. That's a different type of axing to "Your character isn't working, we're going to end your contract early."

[Jezz]

Does anyone know if Ben Unwin (Jesse McGregor) was axed or he did he decide to leave?

I always liked Jesse as a character, and I think he could easily be brought back to the show now.

Casey Mitchell was told by producers that her contract would not be renewed because they wanted to introduce new characters.
