Les Battersby

Has he been written out?I know Bruce Jones has been sacked,but how has his absence been explained?

[andy-hughes]

I believe he is supposed to be roadying for Status Quo.

This may be believeable for anyone who has never been backstage at the size of show Quo do these days - a man of Les's age would not get past first base - by his time of life he would either be in a senior position as a Tour Manager, or maybe running sound or lights, but a 'humper' of his age simply wouldn't stand the hours, the work, and the travelling.

Still, it is a soap so ...

we'll have to see how they write him out - maybe he'll fall off the back of a lorry ...!

He's going to meet another woman and not come home.

I didn't know he'd been sacked! What for? I was just glad that he hadn't been seen for a while, I really don't like the character
