Heather, Pat & Pauline were among the worst decisions if you look at where the show is now (Shirley hasn't really got anyone outside of her family now that Jean's gone, I feel the Jackson's would have still been a thing if Pat was still around and then Pauline now that Michelle and Martin are back)

The show would feel much more complete with Pat and Pauline in my honest opinion, especially with SOC going down the "community" route.

Saying that though I disagree with bringing people back unless that was the plan to begin with (i.e. Nick Cotton)
