How have they developed Sylvie the last how many months?

We've hardly seen her.

Because she had little to no impact he made her for Stan then when he left had no idea what to do with her

I can't help but laugh though, at the fact that Whitney stopped Tina from checking on her mother, who has dementia, because she wanted someone to drink with.

I just think the character of Sylvie and the actress were so criminally underused

Emmerdale have done their story perfectly and this one is underwhelming

She had impact. Her introduction finally gave us the backstory on the rest of the Carter's and explained the baby stuff with Babe and Shirley.

He dropped the ball once she came to the Square full time by not really exploring how hard it is to care for her all that much.

But let's not pretend SOC did any different. He used her once for Babe's exit episode then has only been using her the last 4 weeks when Shirley decided she'd had enough and would rather be in prison and then the build up to her death tonight.

She should have been used more but under SOC she has been used better and it also managed to make Tina relevant

The difference being Ashley was a long-term main character who we saw go from his diagnosis right through the illness to his death.

Sylvie was already completely in the throes of the illness when we first met her and was a recurring guest character forbthe majority of her time in the show.

The aims of either character were completely different.

I expect Tina will be gone in the next lot of cast culls

Tina's only becoming relevant now. We'll see how long it lasts before Denise must get another story.

Aww I loved that slow build up when the Carter's first arrived and then that reveal episode when she made Sylvie a beer and we discovered she had her in the flat.

Michelle better go to prison for this and Whitney better seal her fate by testifying in court I want this cow and her American son gone!

I doubt that will be for a while. Producers only seem to do these when they're just starting out, in order to adapt the show to what they'd like it to be. I think SOC has the cast that he wants, now.

[Denver]

So funny that we have had 6 carter exits in 4 months (even if 3 are temporarily)

Doubt it. The Carter's have been trimmed down. If SOC didn't want her he'd have wiped her out with Babe and Lee. And now apparently they have big plans for her for the first time since the Tosh story.

I think she's safe until the next producer comes in at least.

It depends who he wants to bring in.

There has been rumours a big family will arrive for months

Even lately I'd have gladly took a couple of stories off Denise and allowed Tina and Sylvie some A-story screentime.

[Firewire]

Tina will stay, she has a place in the Square now.

Sonia will return soon and they'll inevitably get back together

[Cal.]

I liked Sylvie's character.

It's a shame they gave her dementia as it never actually gave us the insight into the Carter back story we needed. We have Shirley and Stan's side of events so it would have been interesting to get Sylvie's as well if she was of sound mind.

That said, I think the dementia story allowed us to see lots of sides to the character from over their years of life that we don't usually get to see when an elderly character comes into a show.
