EZY strategy (see their latest annual report) is to build presence at their big hubs - LGW currently at 70 aircraft and still expanding - and to build their destination hubs, think Spain, Portugal etc.
Lack of peak hour slots in UK will drive EZY into serving additional UK airports from bases overseas. (Not W patterns) BOH, SOU, and EXT all likely on the radar. RYR already doing this which is why a number of their routes operated by aircraft based overseas arrive at BOH very early in the day. No slots at that time avbl at the LON airports.
