Yes they would.. as long as there is stuff to swallow nearby, in unstable orbits around the black hole - because if the orbit is stable, the orbiting object can not fall into a black hole.. IMO.

edit:
The term "stable orbit" means all relativistic effect are taken into account, not just Newtonian mechanics.
