Absolutely. I partly blame John Yorke for allowing the show to descend into the abyss it's been wandering in and out of over the past decade and he's made some questionable decisions but that doesn't mean that the show wasn't truly firing on all cylinders when he was at the helm.
The Slaters did run out of steam towards the end, though. Lynne always played second fiddle to the other sisters and I can't actually remember her doing much more than scowling at people in the caff and moaning about her marriage with Garry so I can't say I was too fussed about her exit but they were on their knees by the time Zoe, Kat, (first time around) and Little Mo left. Sean was ace but Stacey's been dragged to oblivion and totally ruined as a character. I know we're supposed to sympathise with her current predicament but her and Kush both cheated Shabnam so I can't have any sympathy for her.
