Yeah, I agree. There's definitely been more and more people starting to criticise the Carters on the MF. It's entirely within their rights to do so but I can see those types of comments popping up if Johnny gets into a big relationship and doesn't really have any storylines outside of it. I do want to see him in a relationship but probably not a big 'serious' one at this point, and I would prefer to see him involved in something big and dramatic rather than just lovey-dovey stuff.
It would be good if they did an internal family storyline with the Carters when Lee and then Dean arrives. Just really focus on the way the family dynamics change as a result. I'd quite like to see them exploring that over the end of March/April. Lots of heated family arguments, as well as manipulation from Dean and Stan. I think that would be very interesting to watch, and won't receive loads of complaints about the Carters being too involved in other character's storylines.
I'm hoping that the next set of brief spoilers we get, for w/c 17th March, will show that the Carters are back that week. I have a feeling that this will be Lee's first week, either that or the w/c 24th, just going by when Danny-Boy seemed to first start filming - so that will hopefully mean lots of Johnny that week. The spoilers should be released this Tuesday, so hopefully not too much longer to wait.
