I wish they would all acknowledge they were family and actually help each other out during crisis'

Ian hasn't had a bit of support from them and visa versa when Tony King was revealed and I am sure many other occasions.

Definitely, I liked Carol and Ian's interaction, hope its not forgotten as I would like to see more of this, they known each other from the early 90s, it would be a nice development, the whole point of Ian looking down at the Butchers were only because of David and Cindy affair, now that is sorted, there should be closure, David and Ian were on ok terms before he left!

No! The day the Butchers leave can't come soon enough. The scenes with David and Ian were good (the ones that I saw), but nobody could blame Ian for distancing himself from the rest of them.

Why?

wonder if this is why they given liam this job to set him up as his own character for when the rest leave

I hope so the gangster stuff was ok I guess but I would like to see him all grown up. Some scenes with Peter and Ian would be amazing.

I think it would be nice if Ian remembered that Bianca is his niece

David and Bianca have gone, what a waste for Ian.

Ian and Carol seem to get on well
