    Joan Collins as a previously unmentioned sister of Dot would be great:D.

    How many sisters is Dot meant to have? We already saw her half - sister Rose a few years back.

    I really hope that Sharon's dad does not turn out to be Manuel.

    "You'll never guess...."


    Can mean a huge star, someone linked heavily to another soap or just a WTF type casting (e.g. Richard Blackwood)

    I'm going for number 2

    With Steven being in NZ for 7/8 years as well as the time before he came back to the Square so it is possible he might now have a kiwi accent

    None of the Carters are wooden, Charlie isn't wooden.

    Les, Pam and Donna are fine as the secondary characters that they are.

    The Carter's and Charlie have been successful. However, Kush, Donna and all that are very boring. Much better characters have been introduced.

    I wonder if it's the triumphant return of Li Chong. Wonder what she'll be flogging this time, since bootleg DVDs probably don't sell much anymore.

    I have never heard of Li Chong!!!

    Who the hell is it?

    I think the chances of that happening are very, very slim. They wouldn't do that when they haven't even started Kathy's storyline. Bringing back a dead characters isn't something you do twice in one year, it's more a once a decade sort of thing. :D



    Agreed, and I think Kush has great potential as well, especially with Martin around. I'm looking forward to seeing more of those two, Stacey and Shabnam together. Aleks was another good addition too.

    Looking at the list of new characters since DTC started I wouldn't call any of them wooden, well, they don't fit my definition of wooden anyway. Sure, there's some that need a bit work, and some that aren't as good as others, but not are poor imo.

    I think Les and Pam are very poor. They don't really add anything to the show and are just annoying extras. I really don't see much of a point in them tbh. Donna and Kush I can understand, because Martin is friends with Kush and Donna is one of the market traders, who can be funny at times, but Les and Pam feel like 2 completely random characters, that have just come out of nowhere and don't have much of a future on the show.

    What is the point of these 'midnight announcements'?

    Does anyone stop up especially to find out what they are. Why not just announce it at midday or at 2.35pm?
    Because they're embargoed.

    You would have been rallying for her to be a lesbian back in the day.

    They are just having a slow introduction. But it has gone on too long and almost a year in donnas case. I the actress was filming something else though and she is disabled
