Now there are claims of cut content. Originally, Bede and Marnie were one character, Alice, Oleana's daughter and Rose's illegitimate kid. Cut apparently because they were worried she would be just Lillie 2.0. Team Yell were originally for her.
There is also a claim of an elaborate cut plot for XY.
