EE - The Carters
So far, we have Shirley Carter, Mick Carter, Tina Carter, Linda Carter, Stan Carter, Dean, Nancy Carter, Johnny Carter, Lee Carter and Aunt Babe on the Square.
This means that in total there are 10 family members so far. This will change however as Sylvie Carter will join the show, meaning the total will be 11. Even though I agree that is a huge family, they are all unique and individual, but yet they all work well together and create a strong, dynamic family unit. I'm hoping that we are also introduced to Linda's mum Elaine and I'm also waiting for the returns of Zsa Zsa Carter and Carly. If those three characters come into the show, this will mean a total of 14 Carters! |

You forgot Carly's baby.
Zsa Zsa could even have a child by now. |

DTC did say more are coming to be fair. It is better this way... Stan, Mick and Dean will eventual leave after 2 years. Not to mention another one wanting to go.

To be fair, they're rarely all in at the same time.
I don't mind because they are all in different little dynamics between them with a few different stories and a few cross overs. So it doesn't feel like we have all these characters cluttering the screen going over the same sh*t like it did with the Branning's. There are a few different stories going on. |

I really want Zsa Zsa back. Loved her character and would like to see her fractured relationship with Tina explored in depth and see her involvement with Tina's girlfriend Tosh. Also, I'd like for homosexual domestic abuse to be focused on more between Tosh and Tina. We know Tosh used to abuse Tina and I'd like for that to be highlighted more within in the show.

I can't wait for Sylvie to arrive! Prunella Scales would be great but I doubt she will play the part as I believe she has some health issues.
I like the Carters in the show. At the moment though, Nancy is the weakest link just because she hasn't been given much in the way of a storyline...she's just like a background character. I can see Linda actually having an affair with Dean. I think Mick's troubles next week will play into that storyline. I'm a fan of Shirley. I'm a bit biased though, since my mum said to me that one of my dogs looks like Shirley! I had never thought of that before but after she said it, it actually made sense! |

The Carters should expand. It's great that Sylvie is coming to the show but we need MORE! Zsa Zsa MUST come. I'd like to see Carly with 'evil' Dean and interacting with the Carters. Linda's mum should also join the show - she sounds like a new Cora.

Too many cooks spoil the broth.
DTC is at risk of ruining what he has created just like Ashdown did with the Branning's. Once you have too many of the same thing then others suffer from lack of development. Instead of introducing more they should work on making Nancy one of the shows A list leading ladies. That's never going to happen if more keep coming in to limit her screen time. |

If Mick left it'd gut the family but I can't see Danny Dyer leaving under DTC' s tenure. If Dryer left would Linda stay or go?? |

I reckon Dean will leave at the end of Matt's current contract in Spring 2015.

MICK - Will do 2/3 years, take a break then another 2/3 years, another break etc... Dyer won't leave the show for good for a good 10/15 years me thinks.
LINDA - Kellie Bright's just got married, she'll stay on EE for a good few years yet although in real life she might get up the duff so... TINA - Lusia will stay the longest she's addressed she's happy I see her doing at least around 8 years. SHIRLEY - Shirley ain't going anywhere for like 25/30 years STAN - Depends if Tim West is happy at EE, personally I'd give him 4/5 years at the most. AUNT BABE - Babe ain't going anywhere I think. She'll stay the longest. NANCY - Out of her, Johnny and Lee she'll stay the longest I reckon a good 6 years, JOHNNY - 2/3 years LEE - Gone by the end of 2015 TOSH - She'll be off at the end of the domestic violence storyline between her and Tina DEAN - Will leave when his contract ends in Spring 2015 |

There's a lot of Carters but for me there's so much going on involving other characters and families that it doesn't feel like an overload in the same way that the Brannings did. And when the Brannings came into it, I thought it was grand, it wasn't until BK really took over that it got ridiculous with them. So it all really depends on the EP/writing team, and DTC - so far - hasn't done anything that gives me a reason to think the Carters will dominate in the same way the Brannings did.

There are far too many of them and it's starting to get a bit silly.
It's also in that for years before there were no mention of these people by Shirley |

Can see a storyline where the domestic abuse Tina suffers gets out of hand and she accidentally kills Tosh. Mick, Shirley and Tina hide the body and dispose of the evidence. Will Tina get found out? Will she get implicated in Lucy's death?

Have I missed some huge spoilers or something?
It's very difficult watching old episodes to get up to speed and keep in touch with the current storylines too (I'm currently only on Roy's death). SYLVIE CARTER? So that is who Aunt Babe is hiding? What relation is she to the other Carters, and why would this be a big storyline? DOMESTIC VIOLENCE? Who hits who first? Tosh or Tina? |

I loved Tina until they involved her in the drugs storyline. Still like her, but feel they tarnished her character a bit. Still able to forgive her though. But the sooner her and Sonia get together properly, the better.
If he does come back and they're together then it is the same old story again! Quote:
I think Stan will go first. I could see them losing Dean/Tina within a couple of years. Can't see Sam Strike staying for ages & the Lee character is expendable too.
If Mick left it'd gut the family but I can't see Danny Dyer leaving under DTC' s tenure. If Dryer left would Linda stay or go?? |
