From bombs being dropped off buildings, food poisoning to a deadly outbreak of Ebola, Generations fans have come up with creative ways to get rid of the sixteen cast members who were fired from the popular drama.

On the TimesLIVE Facebook page, hundreds of fans shared their script ideas on how the sixteen can bid adieu. Pat Matola kept his plot short and sweet, he said: "Dlomo family (including Noluntu) died on the plane crash on their trip visiting Mawande in Cape Town. Ruby, Patrick and Dineo have moved to Thohoyandou with their Shebeen. And the rest has been attacked by Ebola."

Suraya Dadoo and several others believed the quickest way to get rid of the characters was to emulate a scene with the 5.3 richter scale earthquake which hit South Africa two weeks ago. Only this time, the sixteen would literally fall through the cracks into supposed oblivion.

Vuyo Ngcangca also believed a disaster would do the trick - he figured  Sello Mvuyane gate crashing Ngamla and Priska's wedding reception and starting a fire would be an innovative way to put an end to the characters.

The beginning of a fairy tale wedding was how Dikole Uhuru Ledimo envisioned the end of the sixteen. He wrote: "Sibusiso's family get into an accident on their way to wedding, including Mawande and her family, Ruby Patrick and Mashaba go to Thailand hoping to find Dineo there, Queen receives an urgent message that she must come because her son is not in good condition, Siqalo building collapse and kill the rest."

Mapumela Phalani Ndivhuwo's story line was slightly more involved. She commented: "Dineo comitz suicide afta being raped by Sello. Cosmo kills Mashaba afta finding out abt Dineos death. Sello kills the Dlomo family Mawande n Noluntu included."

"Ruby n Patrick die in a car accident on their way 2 de funeral, Zodwa poison herself,  Nicky, Choppa n Jason die on a plne crash cumng bk 4rm de cook show. Queen discovers a beaty prdct dat eats her skin and dies, Ngamla n Sello kill each ada in a duel while  Khethiwe dies afta seeing Khaphelas ghost."

A number of people suggested Nigerian terrorist group Boko Haram would be an effective way to seal the fate of the sixteen. Molatelo Terrence commented: "Boko Haram will kidnap all of them at once."

Viewer, Shoni The-Venda Ramavhoya took it one step further by coming up with hilarious replacements for a couple of the cast members. Ramavhoya's list included celebrities, politicians and our very own president:

Dineo - Lindiwe Sisulu
Queen - Khanyi Mbau
Khethiwe - Nonhle Thema
Kenneth - Bheki Cele
Sibusiso - Jacob Zuma
Ruby – Angie Motshekga
Senzo - Theo Kgosinkwe
Patrick- Fikile Mbalula
Jason - Brickz
