What do we think the huge storylines are?

Sharon and the gun.

We have Staceys full time return.

Ronnie's full time return.

The November Beale curveball

The Mick/Shirley storyline

The Dean obsessed with Linda storyline

Tosh's abuse of Tina picking up pace

Shabnam's secret and more Masood drama... return for Zainab?

Jane's full time return

Cindy and Kat giving birth

Bianca's exit

Ben's return

The Charlie/Dot storyline now interlinked with Ronnie being pregnant with Charlie's kid

Patrick's stroke and the fall out from that

Aunt Babe's full time arrival...

Hopefully Nancy will have her own storyline.

Woah and to think this time last year we practically had no storylines.

Where will Aunt Babe live if she is permanent?

She can pitch a tent outside the Queen Vic so long as she comes into it full time. I love Aunt Babe.

Cora/Rainie must be having a storyline
Hopefully Pam/Les and Charlie will be developed more too, we still don't know what went on there.
Presumably all of the Spraggans will be leaving with Terry
I'm assuming we will also see more of Donna and this 'other side' to her.

Yeah we only have your word for that.

Indeed.

Maybe Cindy and Kat give birth the same day, Cindy's baby dies so she swaps it with one of Kat's?

No more baby deaths please.

What do you mean by The Beale Curveball?

Maybe Peter is arrested?

And don't forget Ben Mitchell coming back!

And from that list, I just cannot get excited.

I can't see anything huge on that list.

Looking forward to the return of Stacey and Jean and Dean/Mick/Shirley should be good....but that's about it.

The big one for me will be when we find out the truth about Charlie and Yvonne.

Im looking forward to some of the potential ones listed by the op. Looks promising.

I agree with a previous FM. These are nice running stories but in no way huge. The only huge one according to tptb is the Lucy Beale murder but the Charlie reveal is more fascinating for me.

Nothing there is that intriguing

I do get the feeling we are in for an explosive autumn/winter as things ŵill start heating up for the anniversary. The summer is always a bit tame and a lot of the minor characters seem to be getting more airtime at the moment.

Hey how could you leave the Billy Mitchell 'facing financial ruin' off that list!

I wonder how this will be different from the 712 previous 'storylines' where Billy has been skint and struggling for money?

Seriously WTF is this dull loser still in the show, he is completely pointless and it's clear the writers haven't a clue what to do with him. Even Lola hardly has any scenes with 'Pops' nowadays!

But never mind, let's just keep him in the show and instead axe new characters like Terry who have much more potential. Terry who let's not forget, has only been written out just because Patsy Palmer is leaving for the 64th time, I mean why the f*** could they not have kept him on, it makes no sense at all especially considering Terry and Bianca aren't even together at the moment FFS!!!!!!

Huge?? Nothing on that list looks remotely interesting.

What would interest you and make you happy

What's DOT's next big storyline?

Maybe she goes in with Carol for the weed storyline after all?

They need to resolve this current story before giving her another

YES.

Is Cindy actually going to be back in the square in time for the birth of her baby? We've heard nothing about her since Lucy's funeral and there hasn't been any mention of her returning.
