Was about to post in the other thread about Lynn and then found out it was closed so started this new one as suggested.....

For me Lynn was always the boring Slater sister, the combo of Kat, Little Mo, Zoe and occasionally Belinda was a good contrast of characters, Lynn was kind of a extra amongst them, if you asked people to name the Slater sisters I'm sure she'd be the most forgotten one.

Belinda has apparently been re-cast and is set to appear this year I think, I would welcome returns for Zoe and Little Mo.

The Slater sisters remind me of the Spice Girls: there's Posh Slater (Belinda), Baby Slater (Zoe), Slapper Slater (needs no introduction), Soppy Slater (Mo) and Boring Slater (Lynne).

They need to really do something different with the character if they're bringing Lynne back. She'll be like wallpaper compared with Ronnie, Linda, Shirley, Denise etc if they don't.

If Lynne was ever brought back it would have to be a recast given Elaine Lordan's personal problems over the years. I read that she was sacked from EE in 2004.

Personally I think they should test the waters with Belinda first before thinking of bringing back more established Slaters. She was really funny the first time, but with a new head she might be a bit different.

Not sure there is any point bringing back any of the first lot of Slaters, Kat is going soon. I'd opt for a permanent return for Jean and Ollie over a return for Lynne, Mo, Little Mo and Zoe.

I found her really funny, she use to make me giggle Although I doubt she will return with Elaine's personal problems.

Nice to see Belinda coming back, even with a new head, but I'm not looking forward to seeing why Little Mo, Lynne or Zoe can't make the funeral. It's a shame Little Mo couldn't come back for a few episodes.

Lynne Slater has unfortunately died in tragic circumstances when an elephant sat on her while on a Kenyan safari, so no comeback for her. Thanks

I don't want all the Slaters to return. Lynn was a bit boring and I don't see the point of recasting her. Obviously Elaine Lordan won't return due to her drinking and Daily Fail photos of her drinking a bottle of wine near her house. I just don't want her back. Little Mo was OK but I think she would have to be a very different Mo to the old Mo who was with Trevor. I don't really want her back either to be honest. There has been speculation that Zoe might return and we'll have to wait and see. She might return when Kat finds her long lost son, Zoe's twin brother. I think Kat will be back permanently with or without Alfie so there is a chance Zoe might return even if she is recast. There is a chance Ian will be the only Beale left soon when the police find out about Bobby and Jane so the Slaters might be built up to make a "new" family.

I'd be extremely surprised if none of them returned in the next two or three weeks.

I'm certain Kat will return after the spinoff. She's already made it clear she wants to live in London and they are going out of their way to build new family for her such as the son. She's such a fantastic character and I'm sure DTC appreciates her.

I don't see much point in Lynne returning, they already have ordinary, dowdy women like her and she doesn't have any children.

Recast Belinda joining is fabulous. There's meant to be some great sparring between her and Kat. I think their relationship will be fun.

Little Mo would probably have made more sense if they hadn't brought in Honey. How old would her son Freddie be now?

A recast Zoe could be interesting but I think they've created Kat's new son as an alternative to Zoe because Michelle Ryan won't return.

I'm not sure. Sorry. I think Big Mo would turn up for an episode or two though.

Don't want to see Lynn back. Think seeing a strong Little Mo has potential & also like the sound of recast Zoe & Belinda. I liked Belinda's guest appearances last time & hope she is the same in character as before with a not too dissimilar head.

Hope Elaine Lorden is able to turn her life around. It's horrible to how the media relish in someone's self destruction.

It's unbelievably sad how her life has paralleled Lynne's in the worst way. Lynne's daughter was stillborn after an accident; Lynne had to have a hysterectomy as a result and thus lost her ability to have more children. Elaine's only child died as a baby with a genetic (I think?) disease, and she's now probably past the point of having more kids. It's really awful.

I loved all the slaters individually. I really liked Lynn but sadly Elaine was fired for being drunk on set. The Sun posted a picture of her back in 2014 and it seems her drinking problem was still continuing back then. If Lynn was ever to come back, it will likely be with a recast.

I would love to hear the crappy excuses that are given when Lynn, Zoe and Little Mo don't come. I know Kacey would of liked to have come back but she's busy filming a show for Sky.
