Farewell [insert QC character here]! See you again never!

I may have a bit of a contrarian streak in me, but I started this thread with good intentions. After all, it gives a chance to talk about the characters that provoke us, who are just as valuable as the characters that please us. Besides, any thread about favorite characters just ends up as a Hannelore love-fest.

Yah. My bad. Fixed.

Nope. Didn't forget. Left it out on purpose. These aren't your kids. You don't have to pretend you love them all equally. Jeph obviously doesn't love all his characters equally, or else some of them wouldn't have disappeared.

But for those who want to avoid even the false implication of negativity, let me rephrase:

"Which character would you prefer to see removed to allow more screen time for the other (slightly more excellent) characters?"

Carl-E:
Well played, sir!

Penquin47:
Angus never has been interesting to me.  Not saying he's a bad character, just that I've never really been interested.  I don't care about him with Faye, and that's kind of his only hook into the story.  If that were to disappear or even just happen offscreen while Faye's story became about the espressauri and reconnecting with art?  Wouldn't miss it a bit.

Before the breakup, I'd have quite possibly gone with Dora.  Now, though, it would feel like she only got half her arc: her defenses and false security have been totally stripped away so she's a bit of a neurotic wreck, and she's beginning the process of building herself back up to be a stronger, healthier person.  She can't leave until she's built herself back up.

I can agree with writing out Cosette and/or Steve (although if Steve goes, there's no reason to keep Cosette).

Writing out Hanners means probably writing out Marigold - without Hanners, Marigold doesn't really have any connection to the rest of the cast but Angus.  I want to see more of Marigold's growth away from being a friendless reclusive shut-in - I don't want to see her quit WoW or suddenly prefer to spend every night at the bar with friends or anything that would represent a radical personality shift, but I would like to see her gain some self-confidence and become happier.

One of those things will not happen without the other (namely gaining self confidence and becoming happier not happening without at least quitting WoW).

Armadillo:
I'd like to see Hannelore put on a bus, with an Airbus A380 hitting said bus right as it reaches the city limits.

I've explained myself before.
