- Bring in Kush and Shakils brother and father, the fathers new girlfriend/wife could also be introduced as a superbitch Janine-type character, rivalry with Carmel possible relationship with Kush behind his fathers back???
- A new boyfriend for Johnny who isn't on the square already, someone new and not Ben Mitchell
- A new love interest for Denise, maybe a single father with a young kid, who Denise can develop a bond with.
- Donna Yates' biological mother could be interesting to see. She could have a whole new family that she doesn't know about.
- A new gangster character and his moll, stepping into Phils territory and bringing some heavy gang-related stories for the Mitchell's. But not have killed off within the first few months as what usually happens, the characters should be developed. King Phil won't always be around anyway.”
brand new family with no prior connections - great idea - the mum & dad may even get on the tube every morning actually going to work up west !
