Getting rid of less important characters so he can concentrate on storytelling with a smaller cast, so less chance of filler episodes?

Well, so far we have 10 leaving (Jean, Alice, Jack, Michael, Ava, Sam, Kirsty, Carl, Poppy and Aj) and only 3 new/returning (David, Terry?! whoever he is and Tina)

Surely Masood, Tamwar, Joey, Dexter and Fatboy can't survive much longer?!

Either way he's either downsizing or is going to be bring in a new family of at least 5.

It can't all be for Bab's.

Jean (already gone) Jack, Carl, Alice, Michael, Kirsty, Poppy, Sam, Ava and AJ. That's 10 characters and a big turn over. Ronnie will also be leaving although I reckon Sam will be straight back once she finishes her other commitment.

But I doubt it will be a new family. Probably more stand alone characters like Bianca's new love interest and Shirley's sister. I think we will almost certainly get a new Masood at some point as well.

The EastEnders cast is a bit too big now (44 regulars at the moment), so he probably wants a smaller cast so the storylines can be spread out to all of the characters I guess.

I don't think he's downsizing, I think he's making space to start introducing his own creations.

Downsizing of cast and crew is a good idea. I hope DTC goes for quality rather than quantity.

Less characters should mean less filler but there will always be characters that just get filler (Kim, Fatboy, Tamwar).

I hope we do get a new family because its the only way to move on. I also hope DTC can keep Ronnie on the show.

Well we deffo need a new family, as long as the main cast numbers stay below 50, it's fine imo.

Coronation Street and Emmerdale have more cast than Eastenders

Isn't a new family meant to be arriving? Maybe that's another reason
