I don't mind Derek but the Moon brothers and Lola have been a disappointment.
On the flip side this is the same producer who gave us Michael Moon, Yusef and Cora. I don't understand it. (Yusef is a good character it's just the storyline is becoming tedious)

Mandy Salter wasn't introduced by Bryan Kirkwood. She is an old character from years back and her characterisation is consistent with what she was then.
I think it's a tall order to have a soap where no characters are unlikeable. There's just varying degrees of unlikeable and a character has to have redeeming traits; see Janine.
