Jean Slater!!
I have wanted to write a post like this since 2011.
WTF are they doing with Jean's character?! Not bloody much! Gillian Wright has proven that she is a fantastic actress during her time on the show. Why are they struggling to properly develop her character?! It's ridiculous, not exactly rocket science! I would bring in Jean's actual family, it's never been stated that Jean is an only child. She could have a brother, who has children. Jean could not have spoken of her brother or had any contact with everyone else in her family for a reason. Jean has mentioned her mother before and it was REALLY interesting. Jean could have cut all ties with her family. First thing, I would introduce Jean's nephew, who has never met her before. And having only learned Jean actually existed, He has been seeking her out. Jean could then develop a good relationship with her Nephew. - I would have Jean then move out of the Vic and into a small flat on the square to be more independent. Jean could also ask her nephew to move in with her if he wants, and he accepts. - Jean should go back on to work at the flower stall. - Have a relationship with a really good honest man (who could be resemble her husband Brian), NOT a Norman type character that looks really old, someone more Jean's age. Jean could be really worried to tell him about her illness as she has grown to be so fond of her new man, that she is worried he will be scared off like all the other men in her life, apart from Brian. Also this could be the first time Jean finds herself truly falling in love like she was with Brian. - Jean's other relatives could be introduced to the square through her nephew being there and developing a bond with her. - Jean's mother could be alive, as Jean wouldn't have made contact with her family since before she ceased contact, met Brian and had Sean and Stacey. The reason for Jean and her family having no contact could be built upon and explained with explosive repercussions. There is LOADS of potential for this character and actress and it is just being wasted for a secondary character under Kat and flaming Alfie Moon.

She's become very redundant since Sean and then Stacey left the Square IMO, with her last s/line being earlier this year with the Michael Moon-missing money debacle...which was quite interesting but was soon forgotten about. She's on almost mother-daughter terms with Kat but appears to have just been a simple soul in the background over the more recent months - and now she always will be a glorified extra me thinks, much like Mo..........

Totally agree 100%. I hope they sort it out and realise what a potential asset she is to the show.

She is fantastic. Regarding the relationship, I would honestly like to see her with Billy. I think they would be great together - but in the past billy has sort of snubbed it because of Jeans mental health issues... Not that he's much of a prize!
