The Chen-Williams really were a wasted family the more I think about it Like I totally forgot until I just saw something on Twitter that Maxine is Dave’s daughter! Lizzie was actually great and Mason did have the incel storyline, but as a unit they were really underused when at the time the producers made a big thing out of how much they were going to invest in the show’s first East Asian family. The incel storyline was a highlight for them, but the Honour left and they kind of stopped putting anything into any of them, until the last few weeks with Lizzie and I guess Dave/Cindy but even then it’s just kind of “they’re getting married ” and no actual storyline or anything.

When is the time jump due to take place?

I think that was one of the things that initially made me stop watching many moons ago - they either gave you glimpses of new storylines with characters and then just killed them off, or they'd acknowledge and dedicate a whole week to a story with certain characters then they'd go off the grid completely for weeks on end then just show up again to pick up where we left off.

September when they go down to 3 episodes, they’re going forward a year and they’ve said some of the exits for the cast cut will just be off-screen that they naturally moved on or something happened in the time between. I assume it could be like Neighbours, they went forward 2 years when it started back up and a couple of storylines were kind of mysteries of what happened, why a certain couple had split up, why other things had changed, which was interesting so I think HO would do that well, like say Diane had left in the eyes time jump maybe Tony or the kids would say things to hint at it, and later on we’d find out what happened, it’s quite a good way to keep people watching.

I think all soaps can be bad for that tbh, it is an annoying thing to watch sometimes. Some stories like Marie/Arlo have ticked along nicely with enough content, but then stuff like Kitty and Ro’s transition I feel you get loads for a few episodes, then nothing, or just a drip or two. Kitty was kidnapped last week and not a word on that this week
