How's he working out? I think the show needs to bring on a new family that could interact with all the various generations of the cast.”

Yeah I think you are right, I had some hope that Ffion and Jinx's family might revive things, but it didn't happen. I think it is time for them to have another baby, buy their big house get a dog and move out of Cwm Deri to be happy ever after.
I think those characters have been written into a corner. Too much of any interesting conflict with them is dependent on a character that left. It also become apparent they aren't going to hire actors to play family that abandoned them as children. That could have been interesting but looks like the money isn't there for that.
