So it seems we'll be stuck with the Brannings for quite some time yet and their already overgrown empire will continue to expand...

Not too bad, new family really despite the loose connection to the Branning's.

And with Derek gone, Tanya and Jack going it'll balance out.

Dexter is a decent youn character. Should be interesting.

Their only link to the Brannings is Tanya really, when she goes then it is just Cora. A new character is good, but I think they need another new family to replace some of those going.

I'm getting a bit bored of the Brannings and Mitchell/Moon screentime tbh.

I dunno. He seems so ghetto to me and what's worse is that this is yet another extension of the tired Branning family. I just wish they'd create new characters (without any ties to anyone else) and storylines.

i hope not - i hope he is here to mend he walk out and correct those years he has been missing.

sounds good
