Although Mowlam being killed was the best thing to happen to him due to him being a 100% evil man with no redeeming features, and he was never meant to be a long term character anway. I just was hoping he could have made the odd appearance into say 1988 for example then got killed off. He was mentioned in 1987 and referred to in 1988 plus Dolly mentioned her miscarriage in 1988 which was caused by Mowlam.

When Jim Latimer returned in 1991, I think the producers wanted us to think it was Derek Warner to start with until the police said he was Jim Latimer. I think Derek maybe only did about 6 or 7 years for Mowlam's murder then was released in about 1992 or 1993 and turned his life around.

I feel that once Mowlam was killed, the show went quiet even though it dealt with the aftermath in Feb and March which were two slow paged months. Whereas 2 years later in Feb and March 1988 there was plenty of juicy plots.
