Is there anyone you don't want back? I loved Chloe, but don't want her back with Ellie as she was the worst character.
There’s quite a few I don’t want back.
The Rodwells - I know they suffered from lack of development due to how they joined in the final few months of the show, but still I thought they were awful. The dad was a non-entity, the mother was SO irritating (also I find it completely unrealistic you’d be so determined to get your new neighbours to like you), and the daughter couldn’t act for toffee (if they have to return, she needs to be recast). We need a completely new family.
Chloe - I really liked her as a character but in the last year of the show, she felt like a spare part who was just floating around. Also, she was the only one who sold her house in the end, so it would make more sense if she didn’t come back when the show returns, especially seeing as I still want Mike to own the house.
Kiri & Glen - Kiri never really fitted in on the street, I felt. I didn’t feel she made any genuine connections with any characters. I thought her flip-flopping between Nicolette and Chloe became rather tiresome. Glen’s return was also a big disappointment for me. Neighbours usually get returns right but his character felt rather directionless. I thought that when he returned, he was going to have some big revenge plot to exact on Paul, but nothing ever amounted from their feud. He’s a character whose just best left in the past.
Leo - I don’t understand why he came back in the first place.
Zara - I’d like Zara to return as I want Amy back, but I want her to be recast. I think she needs to become more outgoing and bubblier so she feels more like Amy’s daughter as opposed to being miserable and meddling.
