They have added a younger character in Vicki who should be about 20 or so. The audience is older the casting of this new fits in with what they favor. There are many people on Facebook who seem to favor the short sentimental storylines.
DJ and Gemma are dating. It isn't that bad if you can buy happy anti-climatic to her harassment/blackmail/stalking storyline. Its a bit of a hard sell.
As far Iolo goes we haven't seen much of him. I think the obvious point of tension for Iolo and William is Sion and his interference and illegal activities. I don't really understand what they are doing with Whites. I personally think the obvious thing to do if they have some money is recast Sion's sons. You then would have a large multi-generational family with obvious points of conflict. Macs and Iolo were already re-cast so I don't really see the issue there.
