EE - Kathy no mates
Something didnt feel right when she returned 7 years ago. she still doesn't fit in today, Ben favours phil and the mitchell name, too busy and he doesn't need her, Pam was more of a comfort to him than his own mum. It should have been her he was crying too.
In 1985 she had a big family and a lot of friends and there was, Pete, Pauline, Arthur, Michelle, Angie, Pat etc for her to socialise with.
When Martin went homeless, i dont understand why he went to sharon instead of Kathy, his family.
Peter and Kathy theres nothing there either other than the fact he calls her nan. No heart to hearts, or home truths, she should be telling him off about how arrogant he has been lately
Phil acts like he and kathy never were a couple, he actually loved her at one point but they are not even friends or even enemies, they are nothing. He treats her like she's just one of his temporary ex's like shes lisa fowler, theres no heart there when they were more than that, phil and kathy would have made great friends.
She should be the head of the family, even Jane was a miles better matriarch of the family and connected with the family members individually. Before the lucy situation.
They need to bring back the Hills, so she is not completely useless

Callum should have been speaking to Kathy about Ben (she is his Mother in Law), asking her to check on Ben, instead we got the angry potato on Parental duties (as usual 🙄), and that was only because he wanted to talk about the businesses, and all he did was basically tell him to pull himself together!
Ben should be confiding in his Mother, not his dead boyfriends granny!
Agree Kathy needs some friends on the square to hang round with, but no to the Hills return, they were boring.
Kathy's entrance was met with a whimper with weird fan fiction followed up by a character now without a purpose in the show who doesn't even acknowledge her own children.
They need to give her some family - would be nice to see Sarah Hills again. It could even pave way for the return of Irene as her mum.
Gillian is an EE legend and deserves to be more centre stage. I guess it’s just a shame they’ve killed off most of her generation.
She desperately needs a friend she can have a drink and a laugh with from time to time. I thought Sheree would have been the perfect choice before they turned her into a bitter control freak.
I should be more bothered about her and Phil's lack of acknowledgement of each other than I actually am. He's now written totally differently to when they were together and would just drag her down.
Thanks.
Spunds perfect
Realistically, Kathy would be disgusted and ashamed by Ben's violent and criminal behaviour. But then EastEnders is fundamentally uninterested in exploring family relationships, and this is especially bad when it comes to the Beales.
What doesn't help is that Bobby is the only decent member of her remaining family. Ian, Ben & Peter are all horrible people so it's hard for her to relate to them.
Bring back Irene Raymond. You know it makes sense
Kathy's former sister in law, and they didn't get on.
Irene was a fab character, however.
As an original character Kathy should be a much bigger character than she actually is but something is missing and I am not sure what it is
Kathy is 71 but looks much younger, it would be nice to see her have friends her own age but there are none on the Square at the moment
Kathy's character has got lost down the way and now she's just there not with much purpose.
There could be stories written were Kathy doesn't have to keep saying oh Ian, oh Peter, oh Bobby, like they are a disappointment. It is so boring. The only time she is happy is when she has a relationship then that goes pear shaped and it goes back to her being boring again. I think her and Sharon could have some fun.
Don't think it would work with Pam as I think they would clash regarding what's best for Ben. It's the only thing they have in common.
The current Beales.
A few friends for her (new and current).
A new man.
Make her head of the family with keeping the family in line with a strong male lead. A few returns and links to the old stories.
She should also tag along with Jean and Shirley.
I think we all know they wouldn't due to Abi.
I love that Kathy is a great gran.
Actually I think they would, to be honest Abi isn't really Kathy's Great Grand Daughter as Steven was not Ian's biological Son.
Her friends and close family of her own age have mainly passed away which is very sad in it self.
Maybe she'll make things up at some level with Tom?
