Cast and characters
Paul Loughran decided to quit the role of Butch Dingle after six years, and was killed off in a dramatic bus accident in March 2000. These events led to the introduction of the milestone characters of Cain and Charity Dingle when they attended his funeral in the latter part of March 2000, and slowly became permanent fixtures in the village. Psycho Graham Clark finally came to a demise in February, after him and Kathy Glover were involved in a car accident, which led to the car plummenging from the edge of a cliff and Graham fell to his death. The characters of Laura Johnstone, Lyn Hutchinson, Ned Glover and Roy Glover also made their final appearances in this year. One of the most dominent exits from the year, excluding the award-winning exit of Butch, was the death of Sarah Sugden in November, which the public saw her die following her being involved in a barn fire. Lisa Riley also decided to quit the role of Mandy Dingle and was last seen in September after a tension-thrilling two-hander episode between her and Paddy Kirk (Dominic Brunt).
