Where do you come down?

Barbabas & Julia's offspring running the joint and ghost busting.

Here's my take on a storyline approach. I think Perry would probably be striking a line between not being inaccessible because of too much backstory, while introducing new characters, keeping old characters, and putting in easter eggs to thrill the original's audience.
There is a couple who runs the local historical society, who have a precarious relationship with the Collins family. Their goal is to ensure the towns history is accurate. One used to be a PI and the other a professor. Despite their best attempts, they have been stonewalled by the Collins family at every turn. But they don't give up quite so easily. It is through their eyes that we uncover much information, and they are the window into this modern day Collinsport.

Carolyn's child(ren); Carolyn still alive, but, enjoying the less stressful running of things.
Sebastian Shaw & Carolyn are close (sort of like Stokes & Julia).
One of the top people are a son of David's, whom Carolyn is quite fond of.
Hallie is governess to two of the younger kids.
Maggie Evan's has been given a lifelong stay on one of the extra houses; her daughter does some of the historical stuff on Collinwood. Carolyn trusts her (Maggie) to let Maggie's daughter ask questions (which of course, won't be answered totally correctly, but, come on).
Maggie's son is the town doctor.
A grandnephew of Stokes is the Sheriff.
(A back-story, which won't be right away, is that Willie & Carolyn had a child out of wedlock. We see him (son) occassionally, and, the son mentions his father, William, but he doesn't know who his mother is....remind you of anyone?)
