Ok so I’ve done a haul. We have Harold leaving and Taye (Remi’s brother) arriving.
New/returning non resident characters coming:
Teresa 'Tess' Bell (Krista Vendy), Jess Ebbs - from 11/02/25 (Kashmala Burney), G Flip (themself), Kendall Kenny (Nicole Chapman), Fallon Morell - Krista’s half sister 2 month stint(Kate Connick), Rhett Norman (Liam Maguire), Melanie Pearson (Lucinda Cowden), Curtis Perkins (Nathan Borg), Pianist (Sandra Webb, 9165), Hilary Robinson (Anne Scott-Pendlebury), unknown character (Anne Charleston), unknown character - young love interest for Jane (Jason Wilder).
This is just ripped from the spoiler site so presumably Anne Charleston is Madge/ghost/vision! Unless Harold runs off with a Madge look/sound alike.
