And as new neighbors from hell make their way onto the cobbles, we will see their connection to Kit and the exposure of his past.
As for the Platts and the Websters, expect to see more of them as their families grow and their dynamics are explored. The Connors will also have their fair share of drama, with Lisa, Carla, Betsy, and Ryan taking center stage. Kate's vision for the show is to keep the audience engaged, entertained, and always guessing. She wants them to be caught off guard, sipping their tea and munching on biscuits as unexpected events unfold on their screens.
