* AuthorsSavingThrow: Series 4 through 6 of {{The Dumping Ground}} is generally criticized for the LighterAndSofter tone with the characters being poorly written, uninteresting and unrealistic and subplots being too repetitive and silly. Series 7 fixes this by toning down the silly episodes and subplots, adding more drama and realistic stories to the series, and having stronger character development.
* BrokenBase: {{The Dumping Ground}} gets hit with this on the topic of the Series 4 through 6. Fans either like the new series just as much, finding them to be fun to watch or they dislike the LighterAndSofter changes to the show and find the writing to be poor and silly. Series 7 goes back to having a similar tone to Series 1 through 3 with more dramatic and realistic storylines, interesting characters with development, and toning down the subplots.
** The debate about romance in the later series. Fans either ship characters with a passion and are excited when moments appear in an episode or are annoyed with all the boys and girls being paired together and wish for the series to go back to having platonic boy-girl friendships, seeing the changes as being forced and cliched. The lack of LGBT storylines and characters doesn't help.

Many will agree that it started going downhill after the third series after the old head writers left but some believe it happened after the first series. However, fans are enjoying Series 7 as it brings back more drama and realistic stories, more characters with backstories and development and cutting down on the silly subplots.
