Prior to that, romance and scandal would have garnered headlines (like Julie Goodyear's husband leaving her on the day they got married) whereas something as trivial as an actor's true age wouldn't have been seen as worth reporting.Yes, I've seen that scene!! I think the show was prone to exits like this. I haven't seen it but I read that Nicola Freeman first left the show by going on holidays and then resigning via postcard!</blockquote>
