The subject of the actors and thus the characters being gone has already come up a few times, and I'd like to put my spin on it. It might be interesting to ponder how the surviving characters would react to the deaths of their friends and co-workers. It would have given the opportunity for some memorial episodes, showing the best and funniest moments from their lives.
MR HUMPHRIES - WALKING FREE
Mr Rumbold plays a mournful tune on the organ as the mourners file into the Millstone Manor chapel. Capt Peacock, Miss Brahms, and Mrs Slocombe look sullen as they take their seats in the front. A distraught Mavis is helped along by her friends, and there is mention of her not having gotten over the death of her father. Miss Lovelock would drop her pompous attitude and be subdued. Malcolm Heathcliff would come to pay his respects realizing that Mr Humphries wasn't so bad after all. Mourners would also include some of Mr Humphries friends including Ken Barker, the fire chief from "Fire Practice", Martin Cochrane, the Benedictine Monk turned fire fighter, as well as WCH's friends who've become more settled since the Operation. Ron Lynch, John Inman's Life Partner, could make a cameo as a long time friend of Mr Humphries. Former Grace Bros. employees would be there as well, including, Lift Girls Belinda Lee and Taryn Kaye, Salesgirl Sue Bishop (with her Significant Other Greg), and of course Mr Lucas and Mr Spooner, meeting for the first time. Mr Spooner, now a reknowned singer, would give a bittersweet rendition of "I Did It My Way." At the end of the episode, as the mourners file out of the chapel an image of Mr Humphries is interposed over the scene.
MRS. SLOCOMBE - TRUE COLORS
In the congregation, we would finally see Mrs Axelby. Robin and Simon Moore, Molly Sugden's sons would be there. Mr. Spooner would sing the song True Colors.
MISS BRAHMS - ARE YOU BEING SERVED IN THE EAST END OF HEAVEN
John Burns, Wendy Richard's long time partner and husband for the last months of her life, would be in the congregation. Several of the EastEnders cast, whether as themselves, or their characters; Todd Carty as Mark Fowler, Miss Brahms cousin, would be in attendance. Mr Spooner would sing an appropriate song (I'm open to suggestions).
I'd would welcome any tweaks, changes or additions
