I feel the opposite. The last few years the show has been fine with mentions of the past with character returns. The gay man from the 80s episodes, Dr Legg's funeral episode, Michelle's recast which saw consistent reference to past Fowlers etc. Kat and Mel's returns last year, Louise becoming a regular, Lisa's guest stint. The show mixes the history with the present quite a lot. Sometimes to its detriment.
But, they do seem to have a strong balance now with a big focus on new characters too. Which also helps the older characters feel less stagnant by mixing them with new groups.
