[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 374197, member: 23"] Oh, I absolutely agree. As I alluded to in my post I can understand the reasons behind it given the fact it's a sitcom and episodic, as well as being in an era where such things were frequently glossed over. It's definitely a tricky area and, as you said, no matter what's done there will be some who aren't satisfied. I don't think [I]Sykes[/I] is the kind of series that could get away with killing off a regular character, or even referencing their offscreen death. What's bothered me, though, is that they haven't even acknowledged the character's absence. The scenario I feel would fit [I]Sykes[/I] best would be to simply mention that the character has moved away (probably for some slightly grandiose reason which would fit the character well). A bit like those Corrie characters of the Sixties and Seventies who went off to pastures new and were mentioned every once in a while through letters or word of mouth. It's possible it may be mentioned at some point.
