*Possible spoilers ahead*

I was thinking about some TV shows and who my favorites are and I realized a few of them are characters who introduced later on in a show's run. It's only a few, but I think it says something when a character can show up later on and upstage the ones who were there from the beginning. Some examples of mine:

Phil Leotardo - The Sopranos
Lalo Salamanca - Better Call Saul
Dragon Ball - Yajirobe

What about y'all?

Off the top of my head I have to say as a big House fan they consistently had good characters through the show. Im resistant to change and I really liked the initial team that worked under House with Foreman, Chase, and Cameron.

I liked how later they brought in Taub and Thirteen and then I really enjoyed that dynamic and they became great characters too and then in the last two seasons they brought in Masters and the very last season brought in Adams and Park and I thought they were really great.

Cameron went away mostly the last two seasons but they kept Foreman and Chase involved all the way though. Taub was involved from the middle until the end and Thirteen was just a guest in the last season.

It was done extremely well in my opinion and is one of the few times where I was actually happy with multiple changes and thought it made the show strong all 8 years. The only bad move was no Cuddy in the final season.

Argh, I forgot about The Wire. Slim Charles is my favorite character.

Zuko. I mean, technically, he's in the entire show... but Good Zuko isn't added to the roster until later, and he's easily a top 3 gaang member (#1 spot permanently reserved for Sokka).

  1. Sokka 2. Toph 3. Zuko 4. Appa 5. Suki 6. Momo 7. Aang 8. Katara
Toph and Zuko are interchangeable here really. So are Suki and Appa.

Thought of a few more.

Seinfeld - Frank Costanza. I forgot he doesn't appear until season 4. He feels like a character who was there from the start.

Mobile Suit Gundam - Slegger Law

Twin Peaks *SPOILERS* - While not technically a separate character, but he also sort of is - Dougie Jones.

That's a damn good one. S6 ended up being the best post-3rd season largely because of him and Frankie.

Leon is a good choice. Does Spike count? Or does it have to be even later

The Practice's Alan Shore

First thought was Frankie.

Buffy has a lot: Spike, Oz, Faith, Anya, Tara though all were in by the midpoint. Other midpoint thoughts were Frasier Crane on Cheers, Chris Traeger & Ben Wyatt in Parks & Recreation, Brienne of Tarth in Game of Thrones...

...Tough coming up with late-comers though. The kids on The Wire for sure. Juliet Burke & the Freighter Four are good shouts for LOST.

Alan Shore of The Practice counts, even if the final season was essentially a backdoor pilot for Boston Legal. That'll be my main answer unless I can think of better.

Mia on Arrow.

JACK! Jack on Supernatural, even as there's a ton of others (Castiel'd be up top if it stayed fuve seasons) like Rowena, Kevin, Crowley, Death, Lucifer, Cain.

Archie Morris on ER
