Brought back absolute stars and popular characters who are more than willing to return?

Nina Wadia.
Derek Martin.
Plenty more...

The slaters and the masoods would probably be more stable aswell, and they're loved by the fans, I'd rather see these than the likes of Tosh, Kush, etc... Anyone agree?

First of all, a lot of the actors who have left the soap may have other commitments, this was one of the reasons many of them have left. With former characters returning, you have to time it right and create a storyline that will wow the audience and get those characters up and running once more. The problem I have with characters returning is that doing another stint after that is normally tricky and it takes commitment to star in soaps that film for 12 hours a day usually. It's not so much DTC not bringing them back, it's about what the actors can do.

To describe most of these returns in DTC's era as "surprises" is tantamount to handing your missus divorce papers on Christmas Day and wishing her a Happy Christmas. I'm not saying the returnees haven't served their purpose but a real surprise would be a shock plot twist or the unpublicised return of a huge character. Ryan Bloody Malloy showing up in the middle of an episode is not my idea of surprise. Not a pleasant one anyway.

I think Charlie should be brought back as a guest character, similar to Mo. Derek Martin is obviously willing to return but as the character was never major, and given Derek's age (81), I don't think it should be full time. It just doesn't seem right that he hasn't shown when Kat's given birth, Stacey's returned and they're facing eviction, but he showed for Kat's last night in the Vic.

However much I would love to see Zainab back, I think they should focus on the characters they have, makes no sense bringing back characters who are not needed, ie. Charlie Slater unless for a guest stint. I don't object to characters who are necessary/relevant for a story though.

Having said that, I would like to see more of Keeble, Ritchie Scott and Bushra. And I'd like to see Paul Coker, Sylvie and Andy cast.

Mo's a full time character now, I think.

Charlie should have returned for Kat's birth of the twins or should visit again soon. Especially after the fire

Charlie doesn't add a huge lot to the show but he could easily come back, quite quietly, and remain on the square adding to Kat and Stacey's story lines.
