It could work, with an actual skilled writer/storyliner.

Extending her original arc - the abuse and the fairytale Alfie stuff was never going to work.

But developing her beyond that was possible. I think she's too much of a mess of characterisation the last few years. The on/off/on/off/on/off thing with Alfie hasn't helped either.

They did the same thing with Mel, no reason why the character shouldn't work, catching up with her 16 years on. But they practically had it that the 16 years offscreen didn't happen and she picked up where 2002 left off. Just stupid writing.
