Day 15: Character who didn’t get enough screen time

Gan, of course! In Breakdown, the so-called 'Gan' episode, he only got nine lines. We should have seen more of his quiet strength and goodness. Though I know some people think he was a violent person controlled only by his limiter - and there's a case for that - I see him as a salt-of-the-earth type.

Jenna also should have got more screen time and away missions. It made sense to leave the pilot on board, but she deserved more action, as she showed in Bounty.

All the questions are on Tumblr.

Jenna really suffered. Sally didn't have the confidence back then to push for more lines.

She played Jenna so well, too: sensible, confident, knowledgeable. She would have been a real asset to the crew, on or off the ship.

Oh yes, our beloved Gan! Ifffff they do a reboot I hope he stays in the show.

I think he could be violent but wasn't he defending his wife and trying to save her life when he was arrested? Anyone would be violent defending their wife so it's excusable IMO.

Jenna was underused for sure, I'm glad she got to have some more adventures with the Big Finish shows. And with Cally of course.

Definitely agreed.
