22 is a good number
Jun. 22nd, 2018 09:51 am22. Character who deserved more (better or worse):
Enid. Eeeeeeeennnnnnnniiiiiiiiiiiiiiddddddd. ENID. You don't go from dazzling Jessica Wakefield to being shuffled off the main stage by the end of the series. You just don't. She deserved far better than what the later minis did to her (I see you, vampire series and let us not even begin with her Devon dalliance) as it became obvious that the ghosties just did not know what to do with her. Woe. Smart (they don't tend to let you skip grades otherwise), funny, and fantastically realistic about things... Enid, my dear, you are always welcome to visit me.
I also think Nicholas and Regina deserved better. I know, I know, Regina scared a legion of kids off coke... but she was also the first to make Bruce a semi decent human being, if only for a time and re-reading her books made me realize how little she actually got to do besides be tragically deaf, tragically beautiful, and then tragically dead.
Nicholas just kept getting the short end of the romantic stick and I kept waiting for them to know what to do with him and nope. I wonder if he was originally set up to have something bigger planned or if he was always meant to just be around. Was he meant to be the anti-Bruce and then they realized that well, Bruce during his Regina stint was good enough as he was or was Nicholas meant to be more? It'd be one thing if he was a one-off or just Regina's brother who only popped up with Regina but he wasn't. He made a play or three for Liz and would show up at random points after that.
