In hindsight, should Zoe and Anthony been left in the past?

Instead it's just left unnecessary death for parents who've had trauma already.

Losing Anthony was unfair to Patrick who lost Paul, and potentially Denise. The personality transplant was terrible and ruined a once credible doctor and son. It also left an unseen family with no father.

Losing Zoe... Kat's had a rough enough life without more grief. Zoes 20 years away had been retconned and she regressed to hating Kat all over again. The twins/mini-mo/Dennis lies/Greg/stalker/Max plots have been widely criticised enough. Zoe, despite being whiny in her heyday, was fondly remembered from you ain't my movva era and it feels it's been tarnished

Yes we wouldn't have had jasmine and uhhh Josh but I don't see long term potential in either! I guess Jasmine no longer evil despite GBH, manslaughter, arson and stalking?

I wouls have preferred Anthony and Zoe to stay in their 2000s bubble or come back for short stints. We could still have done the Chrissie reunion with just a zoe Xmas cameo.
