"From my point of view, it's a great opportunity," Whithouse told Entertainment Weekly. "Don't get me wrong; it's sad when we lose characters. But, in many ways Being Human is such a Mexican daytime soap. People can return."
The fifth series of Being Human - announced in March - will feature new ghost Alex (Kate Bracken) alongside vampire Hal (Damien Molony) and werewolf Tom (Michael Socha).
"With those three new characters, there's a completely new dynamic and just tons of ideas and stories you can tell," said Whithouse.
However, the writer admitted that he is currently uncertain if Alex and Hal will rekindle their romance in future episodes.
"To be honest, we're still in the storylining process [for series five]," he explained. "Sometimes I can't answer a question because I genuinely can't answer it."
Being Human will return to BBC Three in 2013.

Would've been concerned if Hal and Tom hadn't been introduced before now but they've settled in fine and are very popular! Can't wait for series 5!

Personally I am getting more into the American version which finished on a reservoir dogs cliffhanger...

I thought series 4 was going to suck. I watched the first couple of episodes, just to give it a chance but expecting to be disappointed, and I was hooked by episode 3. I would say series 4 was actually better than series 3. So there's no reason to believe that series 5 will be a flop. Whitehouse clearly knows what he's doing.
