I agree that they just be phased out. I dont see the point in bringing back people who decided they didnt want to live there any more.

I would say bring back an old face but depends and how they would be used. But I feel the Mitchell, Beale and Fowler families could do with rebuilding or strengthening in general

I definitely think they should bring back Sam Mitchell, the only contention is which one? Personally I'd be in favour of a job share - Kim Medcalf films on Mon-Weds and Daniella Westbrook films on Thurs-Sat.

I don't see how they're dying out...Phil, Billy, Ronnie, Roxy, Ben, Ami, Lexi + Lola and Jay.

There are more than enough Mitchells at the moment.

It won't happen though |

I also think they need a matriarch to pull them together. Not Peggy or Sal though as they are both extremely selfish and bossy. But it would be daft to bring an auntie they have never mentioned before into the show. |

The problem is they now seem to be three separate units rather than one big family. At one point they all operated around the Vic. It would be great if they could all be a part of the same business again but I cannot see Roxy in overalls with a spanner in her hand.

But it would be daft to bring an auntie they have never mentioned before into the show. I think it's time we learned of Uncle Clive and boys. Or maybe it transpires that Phil's 112 year old Great Aunt Madge has finally kicked the bucket.… |

The Mitchells are still the most important family in EastEnders. When the show shifted focus away from them and to the Brannings it really exposed just how irreplaceable the Mitchells are.
I like the current setup with Sharon and Phil, but I agree that they would benefit from a matriarchal figure (ie Peggy) to bring the family together. And also Sharon vs Peggy again would be wonderful. |

I personally don't think the Mitchells are in a good place. Phil is the worst he's ever been and has proven to be a terrible head of the family since Peggy left. Ronnie has gone over the edge and I don't see her sticking around very long. That last episode she was in was frankly a load of babbling rubbish and she's too messed up to be a stabilising presence. I love Lola and think she's very underused but the writes have shown no signs of changing that. Billy has improved since Lola came along but he's always been a supporting character. Roxy could leave tomorrow for all I care. She contributes nothing but the same old same old whenever she puts in a rare appearance. Jay I don't consider a Mitchell or a particularly engaging character. Amy and Lexi are children. Of course Ben is returning but I don't foresee him doing much to make the Mitchells stronger given his relationship with Phil. The Mitchells need Grant or Peggy back but neither is likely to happen. |

They don't feel like a family anymore. Ronnie and Roxy are Phil's cousins Billy is their distant cousin Lola is Billy's long lost granddaughter and Jay isn't actually related to them. It just feels so mismatched and disjointed. Rewind 15 or so years and we had head of the family Peggy her three kids Phil Grant and Sam, daughters-in-law Kathy and Tiffany and grandchildren Ben and Courtney. Back then the Mitchell's felt like a proper family.

I think we do need Peggy back now. Perhaps the family could literally fall apart after Sharon's revenge, and then in comes Peggy.

They've got Mitchells, they just need to use them properly. When Ronnie properly returns, hopefully her and Roxy can be written as characters to steer the Mitchell family in the right direction, rather than as a mush-mash family of strays and waifs

Ben is back so hopefully we'll start to feel a family unit with Phil, Sharon, Denny, Ben, Jay, Ronnie and Roxy.
I think DTC wants Billy to have his own little family unit with Lola, Lexi and Janet, hence why he's taken him away from The Mitchells and had his own drama with his own family. The Mitchells have been fuller than they have last year, with only Phil, Billy and Roxy really. Now we'll have Ronnie and Ben back, they're the true remaining Mitchells in my opinion. There's no point bringing Sam back, if Danielle Westbrook came back she'd never be involved in The Mitchells and would be shoved into other drama like she was in Sam's last stint with the Butchers, and then there's no need for Kim Medcalf's portrayal because that's basically Ronnie. |
