Well, I'll go out on a limb and say that Harry is the one left that most fans would be invested in. Sadly, neither Beth nor Dimitri have been sufficiently developed for any of us to be as invested - IMO of course. (Kudos - if you are reading, re: Beth and Dimitri, interesting characters, great actors - MORE please!)

From a business of the business POV, here's my theory. PF wanted a raise (to be expected with each new series I would think) but with the cuts and all they negotiated a deal that he had to have massive promo duties written into his contract. It remains to be seen whether or not he will do the same amount for the beginning of the S10.

As for Max Brown and Sophia Myles, maybe they are just busy now and in reserve for later? I would be very surprised if either of them were in a position to negotiate promo duties out of their contracts. Less for Ms. Myles than Mr. Brown. IMDb is saying that Max Brown is currently filming Love Tomorrow. Time will tell.
