I can't remember Audrey's sidekick's name, but she was one of the best secondary characters I've ever seen.

I'm an actress first, and I'm accustomed to creating thru-lines for all of my characters before I write them. I don't want to neglect my secondaries, so I always end up writing very elaborate back histories for them. I end up having to hack a lot of scenes that revolve solely around the secondaries in order to maintain a decent word count!randi leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14207001299508931034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3554125151787997248.post-55308474363909616852014-04-06T10:46:48.794-07:002014-04-06T10:46:48.794-07:00Hi Sarah!

Like Cedric Diggory. Before Goblet of Fire came out, we were told a beloved character woud die...and then it was a young man who had appeared for about five minutes in Prisoner of Azkaban and most of that offstage. And only a little more in GOF.<br /><br />But point taken. I agree about Sam Gamgee, though as a nerd I'd rather go out with Faramir(but Sam can cook me fish and chips any time!)<br /><br />In Harry Potter, Snape is the most interesting character, but as a teacher I don't know if I'd want to work with him.<br /> Scotty, yes! But I was a Spock fan from the start, when I discovered it in my teens. And also, Uhura, a good strong character even before the recent movies.
