The Bill

Anyone know why Salthouse left The Bill when it switched to half-hour episodes for season 4 (1988)? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Will1701 (talk • contribs) 20:01, 13 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Because he wanted to be paid at a higher rate than was offered when the show became a series; mentioned in one of 'The Bill' books. I'd guess, too, that he wanted avoid type-casting.

Also, police officers are obliged to move elsewhere if they achieve promotion. Part of the anti-corruption measures. So Salthouse might have found himself one day written out, and unemployed, or else remain. DI forever, even though he was shown as a first-class detective. Trudy Goodwin's promotion to Sergeant without having to leave Sun Ill Nick was a bit of sleight-of-hand by the producers, June Acland being such a popular character. 121.44.22.181 (talk) 05:22, 21 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
