So what things has Dom got right since he took over?

1. brought in Charlie Cotton, one of the most mysterious characters we have had in a long time
2. Brought the Beales back to the forefront of the show and revitalised them with the Lucy storyline

Shirley's family....they are a great fit for her and the characters all gel.

Charlie. Again he works so well with Dot and has given her a new lease of life.

Persuaded Lacey to come back. One of EEs best characters.

The mini returns, I've loved all of them.

Got Denise away from Ian.

Given Kat and Alfie kids that belong to both of them.

Cindy's birth episode. I was not a fan of the pregnancy itself, but that episode was spot on.

Stacey's (August) return.

Using Big Mo properly.

Patrick's storyline.

Giving Tanya Franks a chance to shine without Jo Joyner being in the show.

Roxy and Aleks pairing.

13. Brought back Stacey and Dean and given them a new lease of life. Character progression done right.
14. Have Stacey confess to killing Archie and sorting out Kirkwood's mess with her fleeing to Mexico.

30. Has given Matt Di Angelo a chance to prove himself to viewers who didn't like Dean last time.
31. Has built a great salon set with Blades.
32. Has made the show feel more realistic with more character interactions and more of the cast in episodes, even if it's only for one scene.
33. Has (hopefully) brought Ryan back!

We should see a lot more of them in my opinion. Stan has got to be the gets addition that they have had in years though.

While we have had elderly, strong female characters since day one there has not been many decent elderly males. So it's good they have brought in Stan and Les
