According to Wikipedia "It was therefore approximately half finished." So we're not talking about missing just the last chapter, there was room left for a lot of things to happen. It seems to me that most of the proposed solutions don't really cut it in this aspect. Dickens could be wordy, but I think he still had a lot of story to tell. So I'm guessing there were going to be even more unanswered questions before the story started offering answers.
