There are plenty of characters on this show that we really don't know too much about but have seen quite a lot of and some characters we know a bit of but have yet to show any Char. progression or memorable personality. Such as Thomas, HFG, Eileen, Margaret etc. Of these characters, which one do you think deserves their own episode to focus on and develop them?

I personally have to go with Thomas, its going to happen eventually, but honestly I have know idea what purpose he fills on this show. They could remove him next ep and who would care? He hasn't done anything to warrant anything other than "meh". Perhaps that's his gag? I dunno but I feel he's quite the lame duck and has been since his introduction over a season ago and despite them saying he's going to eventually develop more than one dimension, its yet to happen (THE DRAGONS ARE ON THEIR WAY!...sure they are, Martin, sure they are). The best we have of him is Starter Pack and Cool Cubed and even ones centered around him he manages to blend in to the background. We need an episode where he actually does something note worthy himself, not just have something done towards him.

It'd be cool to have an Eileen or HFG episode though. They're largely considered sidekicks and I think it'd be cool to get to know them better. Margaret is just a tragic case of minimal char. development, in all her appearances except maybe Do or Diaper, she's just been an object of affection, a goal and nothing else. But I doubt anything other than a total revamp could save her from the role she's destined to fulfill.
