I'm sorry, but now with
Spoiler
I've had enough of this family taking over and being the big names for all the time they've joined, the whole Shirley/Mick things annoying me too.

True.

I get the family who owns the Vic are front and centre a lot but can they not do some background work for a little while, just serving and chatting to customers. So many secrets and lies between them all.

Every soap has an overused family/character.

It happens when a new producer comes in and brings in a new family.

The only Carter I've seen being overused is Linda.
The kids have not been it too much.

Sorry was getting attacked by a wasp!

Mick has had a few scenes in the back ground serving customers in the Vic.

His only main story lines have been the swimming thing and Rainie

I actually don't think they have been overused considering how many of them there are!

If you count Tosh as a member, then that's eleven characters which is probably about a fifth of all characters in the show involved in this family. Yes, that's a lot, but they're a new family and they are central to the action because they're behind the bar. The Tina and Tosh storyline, whether you like it or not, is quite unique - two lesbian characters trying for a baby. Lee's part, being part of the army, is also something that's really positive. Linda and Mick's 'marriage', although suffering at the moment, has always been refreshing because they are a good match and generally a happy couple.

Further to that, if it was the Carter show (I don't believe it is) and they were as overused as the Branning family was circa 2012, then I'd be annoyed. But if you think about it, the Beale family have been used heavily since April and that's not going to stop. We've had huge storylines dominating for Charlie, Dot, Phil, Sharon, Ian, Denise, Stacey, Patrick... it's quite fairly shared out in my opinion. Yes, the Carters have been shoehorned into quite a few storylines but it's going somewhere I believe...

I agree on Tina and Lee, but they should show Lee in the army, not just off screen and returning, but the Beales have Lucy dead, Ian's a well established character who's been there (I'd have caused him to have a second breakdown by now). Loving the Charlie story line and Nicks return at some point, been very let down with Phil and Sharon it's had it's moments but we were meant to get 'Big things' with her return, we've had a let down drug story line and this 1 which has had it's moments but again I'd have Marcus in it more and more planning etc. Stacey left with a lot to go through and battle, Jean should have been back longer,

Denise, I just want gone, Jane's returning so she should get with Masood, Patrick's recoveries unrealistic, look at poor John Bardon/Jim, did the same with Jack being shot in the head etc.

See, there's so much more that could be going on than is.

Tina is the only Carter who I feel is overused.

The Carter kids need something soon, especially Nancy. Johnny needs something soon as well as he's gone back in the background or barely in it after Gianluca.

I think Nancy needs to be used more. She won best new comer this year so you would think they would give her a decent storyline of her own. I guess there waiting for that idiot Dexter to come back to give Nancy a relationship with him. I hope not though. Nancy deserves better that waste of space!

Yeah, Nancy does need a better story line and Johny could do with someone at some point that 1 off was another stupid story line, Dexters returning? Oh god

Only Linda and Tina seem overused to me. Well, and Tosh since any use of her is overuse. Awful, loathsome character who always looks like she's been smacked with a wet fish.
