I have always said that I wish they would get rid of HF, for several reasons: The family who live there always think they are "better" than anyone else (
especially the Wyldes and the Whites), in the real world these days, the squire-archy of the countryside has almost gone - villagers no longer touch their forelocks, and turning HF into a hotel or a housing estate would increase the cast so that it justifies 6/7 visits a week, and could bring in diverse characters (and allow some of the old waxworks to retire - and as it is only Monday morning I am not going to cause controversy by naming names!

)
As regards Chrissie, and Lawrence, to some extent, they are an example of those monied people who think they can buy themselves out of trouble, regardless of who gets hurt. As a consequence their kids think they can act as they like, and will be bailed out, and because of this become smug, domineering and controlling. I met plenty of lads like Lachlan at boarding school (not that I think they would have shot their grandads, although - who knows?), but essentially a lot of wrong-doing became mere "misunderstandings", thanks to generous "donations" to various people (and probably, the school).
