I would love to see Bulgy and George interact since they both hate railways. What a convo they’ll be

I would've liked to see Fergus return in CGI. He does fit the profile for a 'new' character - he's tied to a specific location (the cement works), he has dynamics with characters like Bill and Ben, Diesel etc, he has a prominent catchphrase (Do it right), and he has a unique personality and attribute in the form of his flywheel. He could've easily worked in the Brenner era around S17-19, since those seasons had a lot of focus on the quarries and clay pits on Sodor.

One character I would have loved to have seen is Old Slow Coach. It’s such a shame the show never did anything with her outside of one short appearance after her debut episode. I feel like she could have been a very nurturing mother-type character for Thomas or Percy.

I will never get over the fact they mixed up "Paxman" with "Paxton" (assuming the story is true, of course), when the show also contains two completely separate characters named Oliver, and they even confront that topic at the end of "Legend of the Lost Treasure".

In my opinion Murdoch, Arthur, Molly, Neville, Freddie, and Madge, should have returned

The thing about Arthur is, they were comparing Ryan’s red colour to Arthur’s, they weren’t saying he couldn’t be red because of Arthur

I would have LOVED for Molly to reappear, perhaps taking Rebecca's role and being explained as absent by working on a branchline we never saw like the Kirk Ronan line. If she took the express in Gordon's place with no narration after he derails or bursts a valve in the yard and wouldn't be seen FULLY on screen until she stopped at Vicarstown, I would be very pleased! (dont take my idea as I'm incorperating it into my BWBA Rewrite)

Forgot to say this the other day, this is whom I'd have loved to see return in CGI,

Freddie was unfortunately dropped for BMM. He along with Duncan was dropped in BMM, but unlike Duncan he didn’t make it into the series.

If Hank returned in CGI, Andrew Brenner could have create a episode around him and Philip since their basis came from Pennsylvania.

The biggest advantage of Bear in CGI would be Super Rescue as Henry's proper swan song before being allowed to stay at Vickerstown

Fun fact: Dennis was so lazy Sir Topham Hatt sent him out of the island. And he missed Sodor. So, he changed his identity and name, and got repainted and removed his number. He came back to sodor as Norman.

Neville.

If they kept going with CGI instead of rebooting Thomas, they would halve come back.
