HO Where do you want the McQueens to go?
The McQueens are my favorite HO family of all time and arguably the most popular family in HO. However, they've had a bit of a messy time recently.
When the McQueens first came on board we had Myra the matriarch with her five girls - Jacqui the tough leader, Mercedes the careless slut, Tina the good innocent one, Carnel the dumb blonde and Michaela the gobby childlike one, and their gay brother JP. This unit remained popular for a good few years, the only one that we perminantly lost was Tina who was always a bit of an outcast in the family anyway, and we later had the arrivals of Nana, Theresa and Bart, and later on Phoebe. In the last year or two however, they've seemed to crumble big time. It started with Michaela leaving in 2012, which was still no huge loss as she was probably the least important one after Tina. However, by 2013, Bart also left. Still no huge loss as he was probably the least involved in the family. It all went downhill after this when Jacqui an Myra both packed off. This left a big hole in the family as these were two very popular characters and big figures in the McQueen family. There was still a bit of hope however, as there was a chance we'd see Nana brought to the forefront more, being the quietest member of the family, and we also may get more from Carmel, Theresa and Phoebe who were less dominant figures in the family. However this didn't work as Theresa packed off aswell which as much as people like to deny, did leave a bit of a hole as she really became part of the family, and Nana and Phoebe really weren't brought to the forefront despite a few more comic lines from Nana. Mercedes, JP and Carmel were the only ones getting SL's however JP was the only one with a good SL as Mercedes and Carmel have both been getting crap. Because of this, the family is pretty much nowhere near what it used to be. I thought it could improve with the news of Theresa returning but I don't think it'll matter now with the news Carmel is leaving, making the only originals Mercedes and JP. There is news of new McQueens but no doubt this'll be a flop. It appears as if the show has somewhat tried to replicate what the family was before with new family members but it hasn't worked. So if you had to take the family in your direction, what would you do? Personally I'd get rid of the whole big family aspect. Due to the lack of originals this doesn't work anymore. I'd like Mercedes and Theresa to get a lot darker. Both are murderers that have developed in to quite nasty, vicious people. I'd like to see somewhat of a dark duo between these two. As for Nana, JP and Phoebe - I'd give JP and Phoebe more individual SL's and let Nana be somewhat of a matriarch among Mercedes and Theresa, like Peggy with Phil and Grant. What do you think? |

I suppose realistically it all depends what happens with Myras return and how permanent it is or isn't. The family used to be one of my favourites but they are very much gone now.

It kind of depends on how good these new ones coming are. That said though, as long as she is on the show Mercedes will remain the queen of the village.
