Shouldn't Claudette's foster family have been introduced by now?

I'm confused. How many foster children did she have? I'm not sure whether or not Vincent was fostered or whether he's her blood relative. Donna was fostered. I don't recall other foster children being mentioned. Also if there are more they might not be living in Walford although I would imagine we'll see them at some point if there are indeed more. The storytelling on Eastenders is really being dragged out at the moment like Stacey and the bloody key! People pop up briefly and then we don't see them again for weeks. If there are more foster kids it's going to be ages before we get to see them, you're right.

When she was first introduced, she told Donna that she would bring in one of her brothers in to sort someone out.

Ellen Thomas said that they were bringing in more of her family but it never happened.

It takes months for a story to begin once it's hinted at so I'm guessing someone might pop up in a few years

I think they're using Claudette as a potential doorway for more characters. Ellen Thomas said in an interview that her character had raised children from all walks of life out there and if she needed help they'd come running. I don't think she has a family exactly, she raised the foster kids and then they left when they grew up to make lives for themselves.

Vincent is her biological son.

This is obviously what she's been told but we've no idea if its still happening.

"Claudette is a foster mother, she's fostered children for the last 30 years. She's fostered the kind of children nobody else wants - tough cookies.

"Now any challenge she has, she just calls them and they're in there."

Thomas added that Claudette's former foster children provide an opportunity for EastEnders to bring in several different types of characters.

"It's a brilliant opportunity to bring new characters in," she said. "We go from robbers, bad 'uns, to the high-ranking - bankers and execs - all different races, male and female.

"It's a brilliant idea. They're going to walk in and go, 'Mum'!"

I have a feeling that this family unit will be extended and explored as and when "convient and needed" and will probably be used as an infinite well of characters oof various hues and assortments!,

I would prefer to see more Kazemis introduced first, Carmel is fantastic as a mother and I want to see them explore her relationship with her sons in more detail.

Claudette doesn't appear to be a foster mother anymore considering she has moved in with Vincent and Kim. I'm guessing she's retired and all her foster children have grown up and moved on. We may never see them.

The new interview she just says she hopes its still happening and it was one of the things they used to attract her to the role.

It's taken her 8 months to finally have a home on the square so not expecting more family members until next year, if not 2017!

It wouldn't surprise me if one of her foster kids has been none other than Jordan Johnson, we know DTC likes to keep things close between characters.

This is what I've been screaming for DTC to do since he introduced Claudette, would definitely twist the already frost relationship between Claudette and Denise and definitely give Denise more storylines. I think Jordan might be the one who gave Denise's house as their address.
