Re: New future characters

Almost certainly not going to happen, sorry. How would Rick write for them? After all they wouldn't be HIS characters, and he, I think, hardly knows the personalities of other people's characters. He's only ever done this on one occasion to my knowledge, and it's for someone he knows very well.

For another, it COULD be Bailey: if Pete were to cause Bailey to suffer heartbreak by manipulating the situation to where King inadvertently breaks it, he could use that h...

Seems like I'm the only one yet who wants more plot driven arcs. I like one-offs as much as the other guy, but would like if there were more arcs which focuses on longer plots instead of having one between 4-6 single short plot arcs. Not that I don't like those either, but the balance is a lot more...

Pete will attempt to get at King through Bailey, or else get to HER to torture him (coward!). King will have a major moment of truth, and he'll win, but victory may be bittersweet. :?
