It looks like Tosh and Tina are set for a full blown domestic abuse storyline. Tina as a character isn't too dissimilar to lil Mo either.
Then we have the sister is really your mother thing. If you strip away the make up have the Carter's been modelled on the Slater's? |

I was thinking this! They won't beat the Slater's though!

I thought that immediately when Shirley was revealed to be Mick's mother.

Yes and no. I think some of the story arcs have the same basis, the rape, Shirley and Mick, domestic abuse but at the end of the day they are all different characters and the stories are all being told in different ways. So although the foundations are the same, what we see on screen is completely different storytelling.

YES! And while it was complained about that it was the Slater Show in the early 00's, it is now the Carter Show.
They don't have the same functions as individuals though, e.g. L Mo the quiet one and the doormat, Kat the fun loving, loud one, Belinda the posh one, Lynne the sensible one, Zoe the baby of the family. I suppose you could argue that Johnny is a bit of a cross between Zoe and Little Mo, but that's about it. Nancy's the wild one but she's nothing like Kat. |

More like the Brady bunch. Honestly I've never known a family so happy and get along so well. It's kind of weird.
