EE: Can we expect SOC to introduce a brand new family?
Surely this is the best way for a soap EP to make his/her mark on the show. The last "proper" family to be introduced were the Carters (and even then Shirley was already an established character) and that was nearly 3 years ago.
Spoiler
Would you welcome a new family under SOC and if so, how should they be integrated into the square? I'd like another married couple (with no plans of infidelity) to head a new family with two teenage children and a pre-teen. That way, like Lauren and Abi, they can grow up on the show and develop into interesting characters with an on-screen backstory. |

EE has not introduced an entirely new family since the Masoods!

They need to bring in some stand alone characters, we need a flat share/house share environment. Tom Pepper, the paramedic would be a good choice.
Plus they could do with expanding the Kazemis and Hubbards. Especially as Shakil is the only young character who is not white. I think we need some vibrant young females and not just for JB to lust over. With Steven, Johnny, Kyle, Lee, Ben and Paul only just recently, it felt unbalanced with only Whit, Lauren and Abi. |

Why would Tom Pepper be a good choice? I don't think he's shown anything to suggest his part should be expanded.

He is young, good looking and has a profession that would bring in scope for some good stories. |

Jacks flats should give SOC a good chance to mix it up a bit - definitely needs some new blood. A few late 20s-early 30s, one family with a couple of elderly relatives would work. Can't just be Mitchell's and Carters.
Belinda is great but who can she get with? |

I want to see some foster children of Claudette's! Expand families and characters. A foster child could come in with a ready made set up family.

Maybe Kyle's sisters could come in to boost the late 20s early 30s characters.
Siobhan and Shannon is it? Maybe Billy Mitchell's brother Charlie. |

An East Asian family?
Donna could become a foster mother. We could have an intellectual bookshop owner who's early twenties granddaughter works for him. |

A new family doesn't have to be headed by two people over the opposite sex either.
