More Carters hinted at this week
the Dean / Shabnam baby (Roya) would be a Carter, and could show up one day.
Meanwhile more hinted at, Lee asked Stan about his grand father, are they setting up for a new brand of the Carter family tree, Stans cousins, etc We are talking second and third cousins here of course, but this is EE, Billy and Phil are second cousins.
With Stan about to die, we could well see them at his funeral.

I wouldn't classify Roya as a Carter. If she returned, she'd be Roya Masood if anything.
DTC would be making a huge mistake if he brought in a new set of Carters. It's not like the set we have now are going to be going stale anytime soon.
If she returned she would be 18 and have a different first and second name. Realistically Shabs wouldn't get her back all these years later doesn't work that way. So we wont see her for 18 years with a different first and second name.
I agree a new set of Carters would be wrong, but not one or two.
Will need to look up how old she would be.
Dean is a Briggs though. ;-)
Shirley's grand-kids are expanding at an alarming rate. (Lee, Nancy, Johnny, Roya, Jimmy, Carter foetus)
Shabnam left in October 2008 so it's likely she gave birth in summer 2009. Roya will be 6 this summer.
Yes but I think people get too tied up about character's surnames on here. This is Dean's first and only child. Carly has one too. I'd rather this than Dean being the father of Linda's baby.
I think if they were going to bring in another branch of the Carters, it would be Linda's side of the family (Peacocks). A wedding is likely this year and we have already met Elaine. We know her dad is dead but is she an only child?
Fully agreed, I am hoping Lindas baby is Micks.
except the money was an inheritance......Shabnam abandoned the child, she is more likely to get arrested than paid off...
Exactly there was a case in my county where a couple left a baby with food, clothes, toy and nappies on a priests doorstep. They were arrested for child endangerment. They plead guilty and avoided jail as they had even more mitigating circumstances than Shabs did. They came forward straightaway, years later means she would have lost any rights.
Realistically the only way she could see the child is if she confessed to her crime. Put her DNA on a database and if they child themselves wanted to know at 18 they could. had she tracked the child down under that age that she not only would have no legal rights she would be in the wrong.
Its even more unrealistic for her to see her child then it was Martin and Sonia. This is actually less chance and I will be very disappointed if DTC disrespects this by showing otherwise. I have adopted cousin and I hate how soaps just get it wrong. Only realistic portrayal was Sharon as she tracked them down post 18 (we saw her go to the agency and talked to a counsellor first etc), the choice is with the child not the parent. DTC should show some decency on this because when it involves children he should show its not rainbows and fairytales with birth parents. Who can walk in and out of a child whom is under 18 life.
I'd welcome more of Masood's family.
Agreed!
Unless she has been adopted, she may have been placed into foster care. Inzamam and Fatima might have not known what to do so they would have arranged for her to go into a foster home instead. Alternatively she may have been sent to live with some other Masood family members, in which case Shabnam could track her down more easily.
The trouble is how she'd tell this to Uncle Inzamam. He is a terrifying man who'd no doubt tell her immediate about it. The Masoods are going to struggle to get their around this and no doubt there will be rows with Shabnam.
For the Carters, they wouldn't want to know purely because she is Dean's daughter. Dean himself will be seriously messed up by the revelation. Maybe in time they'd embrace her once Dean is gone and they want to be friends with the Masoods.
Funnily enough I think Shirley and Denise may be the ones to help Shabnam track her down. They're both standing by Dean, neither have the same cultural stigma attached to this which Zainab might have and Denise gets on with Shabs.
Totally agree. They are SO over used!
"The Masoods need a big story!"
"Okay fine, they can have ONE this year. But just make sure The Carters are involved somehow"
