Eastenders is very dull without them. Pat was excellent as the matriarch. Janine the evil Aunty. Ricky was good for comedy. Bianca served many purposes and Carol also fitted in well.
I miss them everytime I watch. The 5 mentioned are some of my favourites characters ever. I like other families but no others consist of so many favourites of mine.
Killing off Pat, Bianca's absences, Ricky's departure and ultimately Janine's breaks finished them sadly.
They were such a versatile group of characters too!

Agreed they could have continued to be great when they introduced the Spraggans which brought a new side to Bianca and added room for new story-lines sadly DTC didn't see that. Loved how in 2013/2014 The Moons/Slaters and Butchers/Spraggans were involved with each-other regularly it was great watch. Bianca and Kat as best friends was so clever and worked.
Bianca can stay away for ever, but seeing Tiff & Morgan back was nice, I would like Carol & David to make a return one day & also Liam, with or without CIndy.I think it would be cool if Terry made a visit with the grand Beale baby.
I'm afraid I found Bianca well past her sell by date and was gkad yo see the back of her. Terry did bring out different side but it was too little, too late really. The Tony abuse plot was good but other than that her entire second stint was a waste of time during which they redid the same money problems plot again and again and she became less and less likeable or sympathetic as time went on. I hated the friendship with Kat, it brought out theworstinbotg of them. I know many liked it but I disliked seeing them laughing as they mocked people like Lister and Tamwar and behaved like rules weren't for them. Her disappearing for weeks on end for more and more contrived reasons got on my wick as well.
Part of me wouldn't mind having the kids back but equally I rather like that they did keep the family together as a unit when they wrote them out.
