Joel Reynolds' brother Tim Reynolds, Jay Brown's love interest Linzi Bragg, Linzi's mother Thelma Bragg, Jordan Johnson's son JJ Johnson and Claudette Hubbard's foster son Linford Short all made their first appearances in February. March saw Linford's friend, Andy Flynn, arrive. Kyle's mother, Alison Slater, played by Denise Welch, Shakil Kazemi, the son of Carmel Kazemi and brother of Kush Kazemi, and Belinda Peacock's husband Neville all made their first appearances in May, while Paul Coker's estranged mother Jenny Rawlinson arrived in July along with Simon Atmore, one of Paul's killers. August saw the arrival of Grant Mitchell and Michelle Fowler's son Mark Fowler. The rest of Paul's killers and Geraldine Clough arrived in September, Lee Carter's friend, Moose arrived in October and Lee's colleague Oz Bolat arrived in November.
