Some time ago, 2 years maybe I don't remember, Darkhound mentionned Natasha replacement once she is completed by another dark skin character.
No idea if it's still on the table.

I wouldn't be surprised to see 2-3 new girls over the course of the next few updates, over the next couple of years or so. Specifically, I think Monsieur X is right that there are/were at least tentative plans for a new "Natasha replacement" at some point... at least, that is my recollection, too.
I also wouldn't be surprised to see a new "Mia scenario variant" (i.e., a young woman with a serious medical condition, who comes to the lab for HI's gentech treatments to cure her condition and undergo a significant physical transformation). I would think that this new "Mia scenario variant" would not be just a cookie-cutter duplication of Mia's actual scenario, but would instead involve some unique twists to add variety (hence the term "variant"...).
Finally, I suspect there's a possibility that either one of Darkhound's past creations, or maybe a new DH creation that has been kept under wraps, could be a candidate for a stay on Holiday Island. We had a brief experience with Samantha when she visited Jennifer, so she could graduate to a more extended stay. Carla is Jessica's sister, and is already well-developed by Darkhound (judging by his images of her on

), so maybe... And, speaking of
You must be registered to see the links
, Tanya and Svea are a couple of other "Darkhound Girls" who could be candidates for an appearance on Holiday Island; again, solely based on their well-developed status on DeviantArt. And, like I also said, Darkhound may have some newer creations that we don't know about, who could also be candidates for an appearance on Holiday Island (and if a new, as yet undisclosed Darkhound creation happened to be Brazilian, I wouldn't complain, from a personally selfish (selfishly personal?) perspective).I don't believe that all of these would happen, but I wouldn't be surprised if a couple of them did; again, over the course of the next few updates, over the next couple of years or so. I also don't think any of them would be traditional Island girls, as both Darkhound and Ducky have indicated that isn't realistic at this point (which is what I believe Ducky was getting at), but I would guess that it is more realistic/feasible for any potential "new girls" to be "special girls"... either "special staff" (Daniela, Mercedes, Miriam, Sara, Yumiko) or "special non-staff" (Mia).
Just my wishful musings; and of course, it's all dependent on what Darkhound wants to/chooses to do...

I was being literal as it happens.
The game is more than full as is and would need to either
- Advance the story beyond the old girls (mass completion) or
- Retire each when possible (one or more each release)
My personal opinion (obviously), others will have theirs, and Darkhound1 his.
(that said I happen to consider the personal take reasonably sound for the simple reason that history have shown that the old girls continuing to be active means new girls cannot realistically get time, so adding any is meaningless)
Edit. Natasha rep post was Oct 2021. She is consuming all the content that would otherwise have gone to her successor (so I consider the post superseded by later events, she has become her own successor and once completed wraps all that up).

To jump the girls wagon
(separate post for wishful stuff)
Hope
Excellent quality and has the (rare) advantage that she is a super Darkhound1 like.
Plus the existing supers (aside from Faye) are not viable while also being very old and/or very niche.
Sam
Classic DH girl and a good choice for a special-guest hybrid.
The obvious catch with both is, that they are prestige girls, essentially late game girls, where the story would need to advance and the old Resort guests enter retirement (pina colada and sun deck chair optional) first.
Others
Plenty as it happens.
But as I'll have to skip,
- Milfs (they something I like and find fun but don't quite see Darkhound taking the bait)
- Shortstacks (they'd either get along famous or Yvette could get 'diluted' by attention being split)
I won't put any names on there and wait for Darkhound to join a cthulhu boob cult first.
The no Carla club
Carla types are polar opposite of what have worked in the game and going too much into niche diversity & filler with too many has been a notable fail (one of the few) of the original game. So I don't see the type as relevant (beyond sexting and show on phone stuff).
My take, ymmv.

I actually really enjoy this line of discussion, with its blend of speculation, theorizing, and "wishful musings". It's all guesswork on our part, though I suspect you have more of a finger on the pulse of what Darkhound has planned for future releases than I do.
I figure that there are two major factors for what content (including characters) Darkhound ultimately chooses to include in updates to Holiday Island; namely, in order of priority, 1) what he wants to include, and 2) what his resources are in terms of bandwidth and opportunity cost. "Bandwidth" is basically the average amount of time each day that DH can sustainably dedicate to HI development, outside of his non-HI real life, and "opportunity cost" basically means that every minute DH spends on incorporating a particular bit of content into HI is a minute that he can't spend on doing likewise to any other bit of content. The resources factor is the basis for prioritizing the things he wants to include.
For example, Darkhound could add a "small person" character who has some form of dwarfism (Yvette would be taller than her!), or a character with vitiligo (I've seen a couple of characters with vitiligo elsewhere who are quite attractive, IMO); but, if Darkhound doesn't have any interest in that, then it isn't going to happen.
From a resources perspective, Darkhound could add a Sam-esque "drive-by encounter" with a previously unseen character to each upcoming update with relatively little bandwidth and opportunity cost hit; on the other hand, he could also include two new "guest" characters and two new user-selectable sandbox locations to the next update, but the bandwidth and opportunity cost hit would be ENORMOUS, there couldn't be any other content besides that in the update (opportunity cost), and it would probably take about a year to roll out that update, which is why I suspect we both agree that would be highly improbable.
To some of the other things:
Carla: I like Carla a lot, but she probably wouldn't be my first choice from my previous post. I included her primarily because she already has a HI connection... maybe she would be worthy of a Sam-esque "drive-by encounter" where she visits Jessica on the Island. Speaking of Sam-esque "drive-by encounter" Jessica visits, I'd love to see Angel (the woman Jessica said helped her transform from shy/introverted to uninhibited/extroverted) do one of those kinds of visits.
Hope: I'm so glad you mentioned her! I'd love to see her as longer-term character on the island, but maybe she could at least be a candidate for one of those "drive-by encounter" visits.
Others: Maybe some of DH's "Busty 3D Escorts" from DeviantArt (or updated versions of them, since they are mostly older assets) would also be potential candidates for "drive-by encounter" visits (do you detect a theme...
)MILFs: I'm with ya on that one, but I suspect Joy and Daniela fill DH's quota in that regard (we'll see...)
Shortstacks: See my small person character comment above (what can I say? I have some pretty niche kinks...
)

Yes I detect a theme, visitors (his) or guests (mine).I actually really enjoy this line of discussion, with its blend of speculation, theorizing, and "wishful musings".

They differ from phone / sexting / random story girls in that they are actual girls and not quickly created fillers.
I get the angle but not sure they add much as none ever made the transition to a permanent presence, so risks some costs for a flash of new or ambience (welcome of course after all those years, so there is certainly that, and maybe that is enough).

FYI: I reloaded my game without doing Unren, and it fixed the wrong size pics for shower and bed.
We never had problems with Unren borking the game before, does anyone know why it does it with this update?

And now for some good news.
I asked a panel of experts whether Natasha still needed a successor,
And, in a consensus decision, no successor needed.
Then they signed up to sink the resort.
(Big win for the home team)

Desire was scheduled for completion in Rel 4.5i want desire content more and more
But as some things could not be done in time for that release the last will be done in Rel 5.0
Afterwards she will change from 'active' to 'completed' and no more content will be made for her.
Completed girls : Brenda, Renee
Completed girls after Rel 5.0 : Brenda, Renee, Desire, Natasha
Legacy Girls : Mia (off island, not active )
