I find it astonishing that Tina and Shirley are so blatantly rude and disrespectful to Linda, despite the fact she allows them to live basically rent-free in her home. Also annoying that Mick doesn't stick up for his wife against his cretinous sisters.
Why do Linda, Mick, Johnny and Nancy have to be related to the Chainsmoker and the Court Jester? They'd work much better without those two dragging them down. I have a feeling it's just to cement Shirley as Queen of the Square.

I agree - the four of them would have worked much better as an entirely new family. The connection to Shirley is superfluous; she adds nothing to the dynamic. It's just an excuse to have Shirley at the 'heart' of the Vic, and thus the show.

No No. It's Lauren and Stacey who are in battle for the queen of the square
