Speaking of Sam, his storyline with Fletcher/Not!Steven has been ill-defined from the start. I know when they're writing a "placeholder" storyline, but usually there is a beginning, middle, and end that hinges on how many episodes the placeholder character has been hired to appear in. Instead, they keep writing Fletcher off, then he just turns up again, only to be written out again by the end of the episode. I hope he's gone for good this time, since the back-and-forth doesn't really work when they haven't given the audience enough to really care one way of the other about this guy. I'm just hoping that he's a placeholder because it would imply something better is coming along for Sam, story-wise.
Some times I think they do new characters test. They introduce a character for 2 or 3 episodes, and they wait for the feedback.
Maybe they wanted Fletcher to be Sam's Liam. But the lightening doesn't strike twice in the same spot.
Liam was an happy accident. I mean I liked him immediately. Like I immediately liked Mathew Blaisdel and Mark Jennings. Yet, they killed them.
