I dont like the character Becky so I may be a bit one-sided, but imo having a farewell for one of these characters surely must mean they have been in the show for 10/15 years at least.

I thought the same, surely Becky's stay which is only a few years wouldnt warrant a "tribute show". Hope that means that the character wont ever be coming back.

Yeah. Did characters like Martin Platt or Curly Watts have a Farewell... tribute, and they were in it for 20 years - Becky's only been in it for 6. Only the likes of Ken, Deirdre, Emily, Rita, Betty, Gail, Audrey, Kevin, Sally and Steve atm deserve a farwell programme like Mike, Vera, Jack, Liz and Blanche had.
