I think you need to salvage a couple of the characters, otherwise some of us may get depressed, e.g. nice kids like Lorna, Liberty and Kylie, also Billie-Jo (tough-minded, a potential survivor).
Also Liam, who goes into the Army. Maybe he is influenced by Old Jack, the Arnhem veteran. In return, he warns the other lads on the estate not to 'hassle' old Jack, or they'll answer to him (Liam). I guess he is a tough character, so the warning is effective.
Also, surely it is feasible that Miss Johnson WAS genuinely sick, p 213?
You don't always have to go along with traditional soap themes.
