Plot reasons.

Agree Lisa she would send a sane man to drink.

She was. Poor kid. She played the part well.

I wasn’t happy when they killed off Lola.
I always thought they made a mistake killing off Tiffany. Martine McCutcheon too, the others of that era got to come back.

Stella was a Lawyer which was an odd choice of partner for Phil who was knee deep in his Life of Crime Darkside .

Lots of dodgy Lawyers on the Square .......!

I never understood why Chris Clenshaw killed off Lola.

Random deaths too, from drowning to murders and road accidents. The place is cursed.

Probably the stars themselves want to leave either with the option of returning or not .
But no one person is bigger than the show so they throw the ultimatum "Yeah you can leave but there's no coming back "

Some do leave/return of course .
But it's almost like they're being punished for wanting to get out .

It seems idyllic...

Work for yourself
Don;t bother even putting in a shift at work
Those businesses run themselves
You don;t need to train either . pick up a spanner , you're a mechanic. Pick up a hairbrush ,you're a City&Guilds hairdresser .
Next to the Tube Station
Pub/Cafe/Shop on your doorstep
Get into the local school or nursery no waiting
You don;t need to worry , there's a Kiddie Kupboard
No cameras or CCTV
No parking problems
Elastic walled houses , invite your family
Just move to another house/flat when it suits
If you fancy a new love interest , they're right there !

But it's a gilded cage , like those poor bunnies in Watershp Down who had everything they needed .....but were being prepared for the cooking pot ...

The kid cupboard is my favourite. I would love to have one.

It is one of the Great Mysteries of The Square isn't it
The parents all out , eating and drinking at all hours . Their children are nowhere .

There's a park and that place that has resturants and bars like metal storage containers , plus the saddest looking swings in the world .

But the children are easily pleased . Mack and Mia were offered "Why don't we go out for ice cream" and ran about with their arms up going "Yayyyyyy!"
Most kids would be "We've got ice cream in the freezer..."

Stella and Phil just so wrong. I am glad she got her just desserts for abusing Ben , but it was all so harrowing..

The younger kids on EE are usually pretty good or never seen. Tiffany was the exception, funny and feisty she wouldn’t be impressed with an ice cream !

Philosopher Phil, has a ring to it !

What happened to Stella? I have a vague memory of her up on a roof and can’t recall if she jumped or Phil pushed her.

Lisa was a complete misery. The storyline when she shot Phil was great though. Shirley shot him as well. Philosophical Phil really hasn’t had much luck with the ladies has he. All roads lead back to Sharon!

Phil and women are a disaster! He seems happier on his own atm.

@70isaLimitNotaTarget to offset the idyll, there is an unusually high crime rate and you risk ending up in a shallow grave. But on the plus side, if you’re the criminal there’s no CCTV and the police are dunderheads so you’ll never get caught.😂

The most grown up relationship philosophical Phil has is with Raymond ! He wasn’t great with Ben and Louise , but we do see him with Raymond and he offers to help. The old Phil left them in the cupboards

He is good with Raymond - just as well, with Denise away and Jack useless!

He's been good with Linda and Kat recently too.

Archie ( Ronnie and Roxy's dad) only had his two daughters (that we know of )

Roxy had Amy ( soon to be 18 and inherit )
Ronnie had Danielle (deceased), James (deceased ) and Matthew (2015) with Charlie Cotton (no , not Dot's errant husband ) .
So two grandchildren to inherit his empire .

Amy is set to inherit a huge wedge of money !

Lucky Amy eh ! They never mention Charlie do they.

Or indeed Matthew ! ..

Amy can buy a nice place from her step dad maybe or a house. Craig can do one , I hope he doesn’t get his mitts on it !

Amy might reconnect with Sean and move to wherever he is living now .
He did believe he was her dad until he found out he wasn't .
But even though I'm not a Sean fan , he will size up the situation and might get through to Amy that Craig is a wrong'un.

She looks like someone playing house , coming back to cook him lunch and folding his clothes .

Hopefully Lily will have a word too . Our Lil is looking at further education opportunities . So should Amy .
Amy could do a journalism course anywhere ., if she gets her grades .
If she gets assigned an investigation in eye rolling she'll be sorted

Even Dana escaped the Square to go to Edinburgh , but she wanted to get away from Bobby and her brother (?Aaron)

Or maybe Sean is back because he knows Amy is due to inherit .
The timinig is suspect .and very convenient !
He could be after her cash ?

I knew there was a reason I didn't like Sean
