I don't consider Kathy's resurrection a retcon. A retcon would have been if she'd rocked up one day and everyone acted like she'd never been "dead". I am mystified by Shirley's sudden involvement in her children's lives beyond when she is supposed to have left though. I see what you mean about Kathy in that they haven't said she isn't meant to be dead. But we are yet to have any details, i want to know what they say about Ian going over to SA, how he was told they were dead etc. The shirley stuff about how old her kids were when she left is really winding me upo and is definately a retcon. Shirley just winds me up in general moaning about how she's "lost" her kids and can't see her grandkids and nobody likes her. Stop being such a rubbish mum and prize cow then

The backhistory of Shirley has been fudged no end. In 2006 it was clear that she had left Carly and Deano when Deano was a baby. Yet in 2014 she said she left 14 years ago which would have been when Dean was 13. When Dean first met Shirley in 2006 he did not recognise her and had no idea she was his mother. DTC is just messing with the history to shoehorn the Carters into every plot.
Considering 2 years ago the biggest thing Shirley did was shot at a customer at McKlunkies and now her and her family have been elevated to main character status.

Shirley said she did not know who Dean's dad was at all yet in 2014 it was established to be Buster. Unless she was being dubious on purpose about who Dean's dad was.

Actually i don't mind that one and it does make sense that she would,'t want Buster involved at all given the skeleton in the closet which was Mick being her son too. I remember saying over the years when people would ask about Dean's paternity that it was always possible she was lying about not knowing his name for some reason, either to protect Dean or the father.
