Note to The Bill producers...

The recent trend of filling cast vacancies with ex-Eastenders and Hollyoaks people is just about tolerable, given how saturated it has become for former residents of Albert Square and... well, Hollyoaks.

BUT the decision to sack Jeff Stewart (or Reg Hollis) is simply wrong. For it is surely the case that part of The Bill's appeal is tuning in to see what wacky capers PC Hollis is getting up to 24 years after he first pounded the Sun Hill beat.

Regrettably, this decision leaves me now expecting the seemingly inevitable departure of Tony Stamp, and following that it will be left to DCI Jack Meadows to keep my interest in the show at a level I have become accustomed to.

It's a sad day in Sun Hill.

There's all this stuff in the press about how he slit his wrists because of it. Poor Reg. :(
